RE: HELP: High impedance load for SET amplifier

SET Asylum

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

At the moment you drive a higher impedance the loadline that your powertube will see will be more flat. So less distortion (for a triode), less power output, but higher output voltages from the tubes.

If the tube is a triode probably the higher output voltages won't distroy your transformer, only penthoses are very risky.

If you are not sure about the risks or want to prevent any danger, put an extra resistor parallel at your speaker, about the same value as your speaker is. The transformer/output tube will be happy again.
