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

I'm not talking about clipping-

-unless we're using different definitions. Since I have an technical/engineering background, I'm used to seeing amps clip on an oscilloscope and so define clipping as that point when a sine wave can no longer be increased in amplitude and so the amp clips off the top bit- that is where the term comes from.

But Stereophile defines clipping as 'anything above 1% THD' which is a different thing altogether!

So I'm not talking about clipping since we're talking about an amp that might only be making 50% of full power (although at that power level its in danger of being overloaded due to the logarithmic nature of the ear).
