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

Thanks...

I often get replies or into conversations where there is an assumption that Solid State amps are much more reliable than SET/Tube amps and because this isn't the car industry where records are kept I wonder where these myths/legends/facts?? come from.

I've not owned tons of tube amps but I've never had a problem (except tube failure) with any of them whether they were from cheap and cheerful china or the west. Yet I have had SS amps die or begin to fall apart or my top of the line Pioneer Elite receiver that was DOA. They replaced it but...

I mean anything can fail of course - companies buy caps and the cap is dead - what can you do?
