What is the difference between the on/off rocker switch and the on/off rotary switch used on VTL amps? Which is the newer design? Thanks
VTL Tetrode/Triode
I'm just curious if any VTL amp owners (I have a MB-450) with triode/tetrode switchability have any preference for one or the other mode, depending on the type of music one is listening to.
Even though some music is a no-brainer (e.g., a Mozart piano trio sounds much better in triode mode, and a Mahler symphony sounds better in tetrode), sometimes I'm hard pressed to choose. Small-scale jazz or blues can sound good in either mode.
Any thoughts?
