RE: SE Pentodes?


SE pentodes and tetrodes can sound very good but usually not as good as DHTs. The biggest benefit that I've found is a single uncomplicated filament supply. The biggest drawback is the need for negative feedback, even when triode wired.

The price of the tubes is generally less, and if you are willing to use some oddball types, they are dirt cheap. 6CB5s,6KN6s,6BG6Gs,807s,6GE5s,6Y6s can be had for $10ea. There are others as well.
