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

RE: I'd like to hear from owners of Audio Note (UK) An-J loud speaker models

"Never get the knob past the 12 o'clock position."

You do realize that the volume control position has no relation to available power output? It's like having a speedometer that goes up to 220 mph. That doesn't mean the car can actually go that fast.

What does affect the volume control position are: output level of the source (quite variable), preamp gain (quite variable---from 6 db to 32 db), power amp sensitivity (variable from 22 db to 32 db), and speaker efficiency (quite variable).

In my system, whem I switch power amps, I have to change the volume control significantly to maintain the same volume, perhaps from 10:00 to 2:00, yet the power is basically the same.
