SET Shootout China VS The USA

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.

"My speakers are pure neutrality, no coloration, no distortion"

You are so absolutely full of it. Are you going to say that there is no compression either in those little pieces of crap?,.
