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

Re: Check the archives,Welborne's the winner.

I built the Welborne DRD 45 and a good friend has the 300B. Mine was tube rectified, his is solid state.

The 45 had little of the bass punch I heard with the Yamamoto and even less headroom for dynamics. That, with OS RCA and NU tubes. Yes, I know, 2 watts but everything in proportion.

The 300B with EH power tubes is better in every way: more dynamic, nice mids and a clear top end. More musical. Still, not a favorite. I have disliked the Sovtek 6N1p in other amps and maybe that's what holds these back. Too detailed and dry for my taste, but perhaps not for others.
