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

RE: Having it All

Meishu , p3 , p4 are quite different topologically than Quest , Conqueror , and all the top level 4-5 of 300B AN amps. I think they are closer to Kondo with their choice of tubes 6SN7 input , parallel 5687 driver for P3 -P4 , Meishu with separate PSU for input /driver stages . It's just more evolved circuitry compared to pedestrian 6SN7 cascade , simplified PSU supply and small chassis. Of course one can argue that monoblocks will inevitably sound better than single stereo PSU so it would be a toss. I really liked Quests but never heard P3 family. Some say that silver dries out the sound. It is a subtle effect and doesn't have anything in common with often reported harshness of badly designed/manufactured silver cables.
Back to the topic, having a means to afford a choice between most of discussed options is a very pleasant situation and I would not deprive myself of lengthy listening sessions and abuse of dealer's time ;)
