to design, and super-exotic/expensive OPTs are not necessary. I'd
have to say that to build a sonically exceptional unit requires some
thought and a little more money for better quality OPTs and so on
--but still nothing too outrageous if you are building in the 1-10
watt power range. I've found the SET topology to be quite forgiving
in most respects ( much more so than push-pull), and even the little
Hammond cheapie 1625 units can be used to make really quite nice
little 2A3 jobs. That extra little bit of refinement could really
cost though. Also: going much above 20 watts things start to get
expensive fast, and suitable (not to mention affordable)OPT's
get much more rare and harder to source.-T.M.
