Re: phase splitters

Yeah I know... phase inverter is the more correct term.

So to your ear, you prefer a pushpull over single-ended?

I'm sorta the other way around -- I love the clarity of a triode, but also am addicted to the bottomless pit of power a pair of pentodes give -- so much headroom that my amp never clips, even with Herr Beethoven.

I guess I'm tossing an idea around in my head for a single-ended parallel and ultralinear pentode amp with no phase splitter and an all-triode front end. (!) My thinking: The less parts from input to output, the less places the music can get garbled at.
