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

RE: Transmitter Tube SET. What Are Your Overall Experiences?

at 08:09:38
One afternoon I did bring home a pair of SET amps based.on 811B tubes, which made 19 wpc. A definite no go. The bass got out of control, instruments sounded compressed, and the soundstage collapsed. Definitely did not work at all.

Also have a pair of Dynaco MK IV clones that are an extra set of amps for me. Have pre driver boards from Triode Electronics, and Solen power supply caps with Auricaps in the signal path. We will see what happens, it will be a fun experiment. Unfortunately Mom fell a week ago and fractured a pelvis, so all my audio projects are on hold till I get her situated. I haven't been home in over a week.
