is somewhat like all these tube buffers and switching one supposed tube stereotype for another.
There is a sports car engine - and then there are cars that pipe in a sports car engine sound through your car speakers. Get the V8 GT Mustang if you want the real engine sound - not the 4 banger with the pretend V8 sound. V8s sound different too - just like SET amps sound different from other SET amps. Ditto Push-Pull tubes. So having a setting that says SET is kind of a warning. Like, surround receivers that have Hall, Church, Club, Concert, etc. Gimmicks.
