What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?

Ait: I am a fan of DIY, too, but not without guidance. I built and am running a Bottlehead Seduction phono stage and while I don't have a lot to compare it to, it sounds great. I have thought of building one of the Bottlehead amps but they are truly "flea watt" and I don't know if they have enough juice to drive my De Capo's. But if you know of other SET kits I'd be glad to know about them.
As things now stand I'm leaning toward one of the Decware amps. They seem to have an avid following and the prices are reasonable. I basically can't spend any more money than what I'd get for my current Manley gear.

Brownsfan, Charles, thanks for all your wonderful conversations on the
A'gon about Coincident SET 300B as well as this Dynamo newcomer.

The rectifier tube is already upgraded with a Upscale NOS Phillips. I
checked my tube stash and found a matched pair of Sylvania VT 229 SL7
from the 1940s. I'm already doing some research on re-tubing the Dynamo.
Some choices might be the Psvane Black Treasure, their newer stuff as
well. Perhaps the SED Winged C. I have some new Reflector 6L6 6n3c that
I like in another amp, that might be interesting provided I can use those
types in this amp. I'll likely contact Brent Jesse as well as Jim McShane
and Mr. Blume. If you have any further suggestions please post. Best, Rob

Hi Rebbi,
I wish you well and hope you get the same good results with the Decware as Brownsfan has with his Dynamo.Good Luck,
Charles,

I have thought the same thing concerning the DIY route . But some of us are just not able to do it . :-(

Happy Tunes

Mikirob, I thought about the old SEDs as well. I heard them in a friend's
Manley and they sounded pretty good. It would be interesting to hear Israel's
thoughts on tubes for the dynamo, so if you contact him, please let me know
what he says. PM if you like. I also thought about the Psvane blacks. Sophia
just released an EL34 a couple days ago. I thought I'd wait long enough to
see what people are saying about that tube before spending a lot on
something else. Good NOS EL34s are getting a little scarce, and pricey.
My Franks came with NOS GE 5U4GBs. I thought about trying one one those
in the dynamo, and I also have a couple of JJ EL34s that came with the inspire
amp, so no harm in trying them. I think they might come from the same
plant as the Groove Tubes, not sure.
My guess is those Sylvanias will be a substantial upgrade over the stock
tubes.
Charles has been a faithful Apostle of the Coincident gear for a long time,
while being very knowledgable about other gear as well. He is a gentleman
and a scholar-- a real asset to this forum. In addition to the reviews on
Coincident gear, which aren't all that plentiful, reading his posts really
convinced me to take the plunge on my CSL preamp. Once that happened,
the Triumphs and Franks were just a matter of time.
