Hey guys (or gals),For those who have the pleasure of trying many different flavor of single ended tube amps, if you would have to start all over and can only keep one amp(or build one for that matter), which output tube and which design would you go with. My head kind of spinning with so many choices 45, 46, 1626, 2a3, 300b, 10, vt-52, etc...
Would be nice for me to listen to an amp that sound musical involving so that i can just listen and not wanting to leave that chair and just stick with the one system. My speakers are Altec Valencia, preamp is a DIY Pass B1 buffer and an Oppo DVD player.
Thanks in advance.
tubtub.
