Mine is a Cap coupled amp with the high mu 417a driver tube driving a 45 in SET mode.
Sounds sweet and gives adequate power for 95 db + speakers. BAss is atrifle muddy, even though the output impedance apprently is 1-2 ohms. I haven;'t measured it. May be more.
Call me crazy, but I like my SETs old fashioned: one large output transformer as opposed to the parafeed or drd designs.
Dammit, a SET output tranny is SUPPOSED to cost money & be hard to build...these little tricks like DRD or the parafeed designs are just ways to "weasel" out of the large cost of the output tranny!
It's kinda like an old fashioned small block engine versus these new high rpm bangers.
half kidding! -akhilesh
