RE: This is the SET froum...

Posted by drlowmu on March 10, 2017 at 14:47:44:
The basic premise of one poster's suggestion that we use 12 AWG on the input lead, RCA jack to a driver's grid, is 100% incorrect.
One will not see anything like that posted here ever !! I typically may use two runs of about 19 to 22 AWG silver there, solid silver, sometimes bare. A span usually two inches long.

Here follows is a quote, sent by Mr. Dennis Fraker to me privately today, from Nikola Tesla :

"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments,
and they wander off through equation after equation and eventually
build a structure which has no relation to reality".
I would really like to know if some people posting here, on the SET Forum, have ever actually heard a SET amplifier ???
Have fun, I do !!
