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

RE: How reliable have your SET or SE tube amps been?

My one and only tube amp experience was with an Audio Note P2SE amp that I owned for 16 years. It worked reliably on a daily basis and without any issues during the time I owned it. To this day I regret selling it.

The four 5881 tubes put out a lot of heat enclosed under the amp's cover as the tubes were not externally exposed as are some designs. This did not have a negative effect in my experience, but I believe that dissipating heat from sensitive parts can help to prolong their life.
