In Reply to: Venturing into SET active system. Does a 45 have enough power? posted by LewinskiH01 on August 22, 2016 at 11:41:53:
The Yamamoto A-08S is UNDYNAMIC, as are 99% of the commercial Type 45 amps out there !!!
You can DIY build a dynamic Type 45 amp, that will creme any 2A3 amp in dynamics, but ONLY if you have a GOOD LSES power supply, and proper attention is paid to wiring, in the amp and to the drivers.
There is, IMHO, only one really good, commercial SET amp out there, and Dennis Fraker of Serious Stereo is the man who builds it. It is cheaper than spending ones money, and life-time, on second rate solutions that really don't cut it.
Now, given a SET with a good supply and really good wiring, a 2A3 will outperform a Type 45, and perhaps the main reason will be a 2.5K secondary , with lower DCR, than a 5K secondary. BUT, no one I know, except Dennis, can build, or listens to such amps. I am waiting on the world to do so !!
