SET Shootout China VS The USA

I am wait with bait in breath. Who is you cabinet maker?

Let him test it first. THEN ask. AY?

"any day now" sheesh

Does the 2A3 amp have 2 output tubes (2A3) per channel? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes two 2A3 tubes per channel, vs his single per channle UX50 tube (aka ux250) 2A3 3.5 watts x 2 = 7 watts per channel vs his UX50 at 6 watts per channel He has pure cobalt out trans, vs the chinese 2A3 outs which no doubt considering what I paid fo the amp are the low grade Z11 steel. But 2x’s the weight of his cobalt trans. the UX50 hasa 12AU7 + a 6BH7 (?) , lights up like a christmas tree, niceee. I prerfer AX. , So its going to be close. If I find the 2A3 has a bit too much roll off on bass/highs,, I might have to sell and eventually get the Muzishare R100 845, but that will be 2 yrs off. I have the speakers which detect nuances in amplifaction. My speakers register every miniscle going on in amplifaction. Even cd/DAC shootouts. Dual FR are revealing. Also keep in mind we will have stock 2A3’s running. So even if bass/highs are a bit rolledd, there’s always hope the Psvane ACME 2A3’s (like $600 + ship + louisiana Tax, ) might give up some better fq’s in the band width. If so, then we might have a keeper, a winner. I’m definetly a SET audiophile as of now. PP are wonderful amplifaction. Its just that SET’s have a certain magical spell. Its like you got a fix and now you are hooked like a dope junkie. I see SET’s as the future , as 1st choice. SETs get the Cuban Cigar, PP’s well, get the buds.

~~~In 20 yrs~~~~~~

~~~~it will be all SET’s.~~~

~PP will not be in production.

~~No buyers.

~Something like that.

Sitting here listening to an excellent PP 15 watt 2a3 amp and I say nonsense there will be plenty of PP amps around in 20 years.
