Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

You really can't go wrong with any of those 3....

Those are what , and many others, consider three of the best performance values in SET audio. All the makers are true artisans in the minimalist camp of design. But, their performance really is stellar.

I have the Welborne DRD 300B monos and use an S&B TVC, the combination is heavenly. So sonically pure and transparent that it is haunting at times. I don't get to listen to my system as much as I did last year, but from the first few seconds, I am constantly blown away with hwo good the TVC+DRD combo sounds.

The only thing you have to make sure is that your source(s) have a high enough voltage output and low enough impedence. My upgraded Museatex Bitstream dac puts out 3V@300ohms, plenty to drive any amp SET amp I've come across. But, my Gram Slee Era Gold mkV phono preamp has a max output of 1.08V. No problem with my Art Audio PX-25 amp's 0.7V sensitivty, but cutting it pretty close with the DRD's 1.5V sensitivity.
