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

RE: OK, Great ........................

I don't know of any gapped output transformers that have enough inductance to prevent an elliptical load line in the presents of low bass.

Let me explain a little more. I don't play bass using SET transformers for three reasons. One, not enough power, 2 too low a damping factor and 3 the subject at hand.

I have seen sims that show the elliptical load lines for a "normal" SET output transformer at low frequencies and it's not pretty. I have also seen sims of the load line when the bass is limited to 200Hz for the same "normal" SET output transformer. With the bass frequencies limited the load line almost looks like a resistive load line resulting is much less harmonic distortion.
