Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?

Supratek Cabernet Dual with 300B on one stage and 6SN7 on the other stage, in both cases the OTLs will preserve the nature of the sound in such a transparent way, I’m a neophyte with a short audio experience compared to many of you and professionals in the industry and just recently had the chance to empirically understand the "transparency" concept which Ralph @atmasphere commented to me years ago about his gear and I thought I understood what he was describing and I wasn’t, I thought transparency was a synonym to "clear" and "detailed" and kind of his but the real concept is "passing through unaltered", but you need to try gear on your system to find out about the differences (duh).
The OTLs of course will provide dynamics and gain on the sound with perfect clear resolution but they won’t provide color, or even harshness to the sound and won’t change the "nature or tonality of the preamp sound". This is a blessing but also a curse, beware, you feed crappy sound and you will get crappy sound. I run an MP-1 on my system which (again) Edit:could be for the lack of a better word "disgustingly transparent", your source is magical you get magic, your source sucks and you will be disappointed.
I thought on mentioning this since the OP got OTLs and he should be enjoying these very much.I don’t doubt SS and SET amps could be good but based on my limited experience if you want to experience SET sound you could perfectly match SET pre with Atma OTLs.I’ll be happy to provide more details @cal3713 if
you ask

@luisma31 Great, thanks so much for the details. Seems to be a bit of a consensus that people prefer the 6sn7 circuit in the Suprateks.

I have SS amps (First Watt f4 monoblocks) that provide only current gain and have very little sound of their own as well (and have had both m60s and 300b SET monos in the system). Currently have a 6sn7 pre and have an eml-20AM based dht on the way. I love the current sound, but am also looking forward to comparing the different preamp typologies. I'm cheering for the dht because it's a custom build and resale will be difficult, but as always, the proof is in listening and whatever sounds best wins. As you accurately state... you only learn by hearing the gear in your system.

Sure no problem

Seems to be a bit of a consensus that people prefer the 6sn7 circuit in the Suprateks.

Don't get me wrong, the DHT is very special, best way I can describe it is if you want your sound to sound like a live event go DHT but if you prefer studio type sound then 6SN7s, I haven't tried the 45s, I heard is the closest to 6SN7s from all DHTs.

but am also looking forward to comparing the different preamp typologies

Oh yeah go to town and report back please, as long as the wallet allows it right ;)

As you accurately state... you only learn by hearing the gear in your system.

This a great exercise not only to find out but also to "calibrate" your own hearing I can clearly hear difference with different tubes technologies, with the same tube and different manufacturer is harder for example Sylvania, Raytheon 6SN7s it is harder to tell how different they are, on the other hand Chinese cv181 new production sound very different. Same thing with wine once you have gulped 1000 bottles or so of different wines you can have an accurate baseline to keep comparing lol
Really report back BTW Eml 20am don't know what it is was that a typo?

Hey, thanks for being happy for me! Absolutely, through this thread and the advise given, I was successfully able to make the huge leap away from decades of SET-300B and 45. And being able to finally hear what my speakers are capable! It seems most speakers love more that 8 or 1 1/2 watts. 60 watts of the M-60s is plenty for my 91db 8 ohm Tetra 606s. Actually, I loved my Atma-Sphere amps so much that I sold my cool Audible Illusions M3B with John Curl phono and bought a great Atma MP-3 preamp. Especially since I rolled all the  tubes for good NOS, it blows away the AI and is the perfect match for my M-60!
And with the phono section of the MP-3 I was able to change my plan to get a Zesto Deluxe phono stage and another good IC.
The phono in the MP-3 is amazingly good.The amps and preamp continue to open up as they break in and now the main quest is to search for great recorded LPs. Although the system even makes so so recordings enjoyable revealing the performances unlike ever. It surely is satisfying to reach a total destination feeling through months of the quest for the best!

@mglik More great news. Congrats.
