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

RE: Thanks! Sounds like I might need two amps (45 and 300B)? JE Labs 45/2A3 and also 300B?

Plinko, hi. I have heard directly heated SET amps with optimal power supplies sound dynamic and powerful well beyond what one might expect from 2 or 3 watts. Without getting embroiled in how this is done - without a doubt it can be done. I have heard it. So have many others, and it would be great to see this number increase. Caveat: Keep in mind that all things in this world are not perfect. I mention this only because a particular kind of audio mania torments the afflicted with the notion that nirvana is just around the next corner. In most cases these things take time. So - read, learn, mark, and inwardly digest. With patience and perseverance your audio journey can be oh so richly rewarding. Remember each directly heated triode has a sound all its own. Happy Listening.
