OK just tested the SET and havea YT uploading, will post when finished...
Look even 6 watts is too much power for these 92db WBers.
I should add, the desiner has pure COLBALT output transforers, which are the best, but pack a super wallpo of punch.
I can not even imagine driving AER/Voxativ's 94db-100db speakers with this 250 tube pure colbalt trans amplifier.
I mean at 8 oclock, the SPL would be over whleming.
Seems to me, ideally, the best SETs are flear watts, 1 watt, - 5 watts.
And not sure if pure colbalt trans, which are very expenisve are necessary.
Why the added power of colbalt trans???
Not needed.
My 92db WBers are maxed out at 10 oclock on the vol pot.
I'm wondering if the high tech super Class A JEFT opamps in the DAC are adding too foraward a gain in the source..???
paid $100 each for those guys, but perhaps these high tech guys are amplifiying the source too much..??
I'll go back to jadi's stock ops and see what gives.
I doubt if much ..if at all.
This test proves we do not need PP amplification.
Low powered SETs have more, wayyyy more than enough power to drive any higher sens speakers, with massive SPL.
There is so much dis-information, mis-understandings surrounding SET amps.
SETs have just as much if not more bass SLAM as any PP amp.
Can not see any reason why PP amps have received so much attention these past decades.
SET amplification is the most practical and most musical amplification.
RIP PP amplification
You served us well....
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!
Maybe a Cayin low powered EL34 linear/Triode mode amp maight be acceptable along with SETs.
Amp I had, but sold off, due to the reasoning *has not enough power* under the delusion, more power = better amplification.
More power = less superior amplification.
Sold it off cheap.
PP amps = fidelity
SET amps = high fidelity.
Close but
No Cigar
