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

Re: The "untruthful attacks"? Are these the posts you obliquely refer to?

I don't think so Tom. The reason, if I may explain, has been several postings stating that 300bs had lower distortion than KT88s. I had taken measurement several years ago and knew according to the specs of the 300b that this wasn't so in my opinion and measurements. Since they didn't present proof, I thought the consumers should not be mislead, even if by mistake.
If one measures the distortion of a tube and another measures with a very low distortion driver etc., I would assess the second as showing the tube has better performance than the first person. If a third could show the distortion even lower, with a very low distortion driver, then I would assess that the tube would do even better.
That is why when I saw postings that supposively showed the KT88 as not even having, just say, 5 or 6 watts output, I knew it wasn't an accurate measurement as I have gotten 11 watts out of the tube by measurement and much lower distortion than their findings.
My own measurements showed me what the tube would do and I assessed that my measurements were more accurate than calculations etc. This is my last posting on this subject.
Hope this helps, Tom. Take care and have a great week.
