SET Shootout China VS The USA


2A3 SET from china arrives any day now.

The tech who loaned me his UX250 (aka 50 Tube) amp, with a  12AU7 in front + a  6BH7 (??) , has incredible pure Cobalt out trans. ($1k+ each back in 2000, now no longer in production). . he will help me set up the  2A3. 

Has a  AX+AU my 2 fav front tubes anda   quad of 2A3's. 

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

So whatever amp/ source you plug in, will register the nuances inherent in the circuit.

Will be very interesting. 

USA has pure cobalt out trans which gives the edge in power, but the china 2A3 has a 2 tubes per channel.

Gonna be interesting and will post a  YT upload with comments,

AFTER TESTING IS COMPLETEED.

Hand on to your horses at the OK Corral. 

Grab a  beer at the saloon, 

sundown shootout at the edge of town.

I don‘t think the technology is an issue given that it is pushing a century……

Ha yes Chinese advances in 1920's technology are more of a niche sector. 😂

@laoman Then go find a forum like this in the PRC. Where you can speak your mind for the most part and not have to worry about having your front door kicked in.

Why are you supporting China's economy?" Be aware that not all posters on this site hail from the US. Some of us would rather support Chinese technology rather than US technology for various reasons including political,

Look when China techs can put out a  2A3 PP and now I see a  300B PP just out, which most likely i will order as well, as it has a  Pre Out for my Jadis DPL,, might sell the 2A3,,, but look when techs can put out a  SET amp like in this vid below,, there is no way the old KT designs can compete.

I have no idea what this amp lists at, bet its over $15 grand.

Jadis KT170 vs this SET? 

Both at $16 grand

No brainer.

 

Im havinga   hard time trying to figure Ken's amps out, 307 tube,,what is it??

so i googled 307 , yes avaliable for purchase.

WOW this SET world is  a  nother universe.

 

But I do thinik I found the **mother load**

unreal, just unreal.

Yep going to list,,,,,,no,,,no  can;'t sell my Defy,, but certainly  should,... as I don;'t need 3 ,  amplifiers,
