Some people have quiet environments and their rooms are lively at the same time; I can see how that can work. Tfkaudio's suggestions sound like a very good place to start. Like I said before, sibilance is something SETs are not known for, and a bigger one like yours even more so.
What tubes for sibilant SET Triode amp
I have recently bought a Cayin/Spark 9021DEX amplifier. This is a zero feedback SET design in which I currently use the original Chinese made 211 output tube a 6SN7 GTB by Sylvania as a driver tube and a late Siemens ECC88 at the input. The bias on the output tube checks fine the sound is great with a minimal tendency to sibilance. As I am going to buy a set of back-up tubes anyway - which tubes to buy to get rid of the tendency to sibilance? Opinions seem to vary considerably! Any suggestions??
Preamp is a MacIntosh C220, Speakers are Gallo Ref 3.1 and Analog Front End is a VPI Superscout with a Shelter 90X.
