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

RE: ...Thanks all....

It is not the airiness that draws me to meshies - it is the nuance and sense of graduated touch that is (much) less evident in solids.

I prefer the meshies, but don't run them in my present amp because 1) it runs my tubes a little hard for meshies, and 2) I think they need a well thought out design to realise their best.

Solids are more forgiving in that they have few overt weakness in most SET designs - they sound balanced and bold in 'most any system... they suit American listening preferences. Meshies can sound magical, but have some "weaknesses" in many systems; they deserve (demand) a system built for them.

My next build will be an effort in meshie maximisation. Though I am already dreaming of 1605s.

Cheers,
91
