Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp


Anyone have anyway of describing the sonic differences between Sophia Electric 9101 300B monoblock single ended amps and a Jeff Korneff 45 SET amp? (Let's assume the JK 45s have enough power to drive the speakers at around 100dB efficiency.) Thanks

- a related question would be which tubes would be preferred, Sophia, EML, solid plates or mesh plates, etc

From Wikipedia:
>>A single-ended triode (SET) vacuum tube electronic amplifier uses a single triode to produce an output...............<<

The same or similiar definition can be found in a number of other reference documents.

A parallel output triode amp using single-ended topology is abbreviated as PSET; it is not a true SET

I hope that helps.

Others do disagree, and if one looks at the name literally, there is nothing at all that speaks about number of output devices.

Single-ended, and triode. Period.

The thing is many people do not seem to understand what single-ended means - they assume it means "one output device" when, of course, it means nothing of the sort, and has nothing to do with the number of output devices.

I am sure you are aware of that.
Please elaborate, Bill. There's no need to make it a pissing contest.

Do you agree that the name - single-ended-triode - implies nothing about the number of output devices?
