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

RE: I am seriously considering a couple of SETs perhaps you

I can understand why these amps interest you: A Meishu silver line is $11K, a Jinro is $25K, an Ongaku is $110K. A pair of Conquest Silvers (18W) is $16K and an M5 to go with it is somewhere between $12-15K.

All of these AN amps have double C-Core output transformers. What is the construction of the OPTs in the Line_Magnetic 45 integrated? And what about all those switches, dials and variable-defeatable NFB? They add noise at the very least, and why do you want any NFB? Are you even sure it doesn't use local feedback?

And the weight, of course. I think it would make a very rigid frame for a combination hotdog cart/hi-fi systems.

Personally, I would go for the Meishu S or SS with a pair of Sophia Royal Princess tubes, and a decent WWII 6SN7-GT for the preamp. Different makes of these have quite an impact on the tone.
