Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

yes, I am -- ahem -- rather familiar with SE DHT amplification


The ACA's a toy (and, in full disclosure, I didn't build it; a fellow on the Polk forums did) - not a bad one, though. I mentioned the linearity of power triodes, and if you'll look again at my post, you'll note that I qualified the behavior of SE transistor circuits as similar to SE tubes "in terms of spectrum of harmonic distortion products". ;) Yes, (most) transistors aren't nearly as nicely behaved as a triode in terms of linearity.

I actually didn't build my daily driver SE 2A3 amp (Joseph Esmilla's design, slightly tweaked), either -- but the builder and the designer are both well known by me (and vice versa). ;)







I have built a few things -- they tend towards the ugly but functional, though.
all the best,
mrh
