Hi David,
What I meant in regard to comparing the Line Magnetic SET and the Pass Labs is the contrast between very different topologies and design.
1 DHT tube versus bipolar transistors.
2 No NFB vs some NFB
3 moderately high output impedance vs low output impedance
4 Low vs higher damping factor
5 Very different input circuits
With these significant contrasts most would expect resulting different sonic character. Of course listening is the only way to confirm these assumptions thus my curiosity.
