SET the best?

well I have not heave your amp, nor any other Class D. 

Only several PP amps. 

EL34, KT88,Kt120, all were excellent in dynamics and musicality.

But have you read anything suxch as **wow this xyz PP amp is magical..**Maybe Jadis' new KT170 has some magic,, but that tube along with the KT150, to me looks just like a  bigger KT88 style tube..and so??? More power? More  bass/highs..?? OK, Big deal.

But how often have we read, **WOW sets are magical, pure lineraity..*

My tech who built his UX250 amp, had 1 cap not soldered, well solder broke off after so many years,,, we reapired it,, brought it  back,, NOW I was hearing SET magic for the 1st time. Once you heard SET sound,, there is no possible way the  audiophile will turn his back ona  SET. Maybe as a 2nd system, which I am sure many of us here have bother PP and SETs.

But once struck with SET magic,  one could never forget the magic (in certain recordings/music styles). 

SRTs the best??

Lets  rephrase.

Which amp design offers the magic  **something SET -like**?

EL34 SET's yes, But not a  El34PP. 

Hi @ron1264 ,

I'm not an expertise in Class D amplifiers.

But all of them digital and PWM are very different from SET.

For example, most of SET fans use high sensitive speakers like: horns or full range drivers. And they like these speakers not just because they don't need huge power amplifier - but because dynamics, texture, transparency advantage over mainstream low sensitive speakers.

I can't imagine any benefits from class D for high sensitivity speaker. 

About analogue chips for audio. Any small production parts "for audio" will cost crazy expensive. Look, for example , at prices for AN Kaisei electrolytic capacitors precising vs regular electrolytic capacitors.

amplifier - but because dynamics, texture, transparency advantage over mainstream low sensitive speakers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yep Box xover types had their day in the sunshine, Clouds are forming, Ck out the xover box used speaker listings,, likea grave yard,, where in 2 yrs you will see lots on unsold Zu and Tektons just sitting, day after day, week ,,month.... sad, thats suffering. My FMS aint going no where, A 2A3 dual tube amp is on the way. My Dual FMS is going to get a nice match. $550+$350 35 lb speaker.

~~~Wife Friendly~~ as a  huge bonus. 

@alexberger 

Fair enough

SET amplification is ~~Esoterica~~ Only for a  select few.
