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

RE: Too many possibilities?

Nothing real special. One-Electrons. They're better than the James and cost less. OPT are like anything else, you can go crazy and spend as much as you want but in the end what's the best bang for the buck. I know I said "cost no object" and maybe I should have used something like Tamradio,NOS Tango,Audio Notes,etc,etc. Parts can be elusive in that they can make you think that it's all about the part. Parts are a lot of it but not all.
IMHO I think circuit(two stage versus three stage, IT versus cap versus direct coupled and all kinds of other tricks that only experience can provide)is first then OPT then power supply then parts(tubes,caps). Of course power supply and OPT are neck and neck.

I'm not a builder and can do just enough to get into trouble but I've had enough experience listening to different types to know what I like. What I like is really all that matters anyway.
