RE: Best non-DHT SET amp


I have a SE KT88 amp that I like a lot (a lot alot). Genelex KTs and old Tung-sol driver tubes also contribute to the sound. It's about $500-$600 in tubes alone. Getting good sound with pentodes is possible but still pricey.

I also have a 6CB5 amp that puts out just about the same power and costs only $10/tube. The sound is close to the Kt88s and I wouldn't be upset if that's all I had to use. the " Vinylsavor website " has a few articles about building such an amp.

Another offbeat idea is to use the 6BG6 tube in PSE. They have the same general characteristics as 6L6s and available for $5-10/ea for 50s and 60s era USA tubes. Said to sound good, This is a planning stage project I have in mind.
