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

RE: How much power do you need?


When I first got into HiFi, I would only consider distortion and power #s when buying. This meant solid state. I went through 15yrs of trying to like what I owned, but it was never really so.

One day, on a lark, I purchased a Scott 222. It blew the doors off all of the SS stuff I owned. Low power, high distortion; and great sound. Revealing 15yrs of a great mistake.

Now I listen to amps and such because they sound good, mostly tube with some SS stuff mixed in. I don't care what the distortion #s are, and power is relative only to speaker efficiency/volume.

The point is; Listen with your ears. MyFi or YourFi, not HiFi; MyFi has to sound good to ME. YourFi has to sound good to YOU.
