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

RE: Venturing into SET active system. Does a 45 have enough power?

Frihed89, your post sent me looking into whether the A-08S is a direct coupled amp or not.

According to the Stereophile review by Art Dudley it seems the A-08S is not DC (although the first gain stage is capacitor-coupled to the 45s: "The 717A's anode is capacitor-coupled to the signal grid of a 45 triode").

But acccording the 6moons review by Srajan "By DC-coupling the 45s and 717A drivers, noise levels for the revised amp are given as 0.3mV to 0.7mV".

Do you happpen to know which one is right, and whether the A-08S is DC or not?
