Is SET superior? Prove it…
There’s an interesting dialog running on AVSforum.com – and another provocative topic!
Here’s an excerpt:
Excuse me for sounding a little like a heritic [sic] but I figure that if the statement “the crushing superiority of SE triode amplifiers with no feedback” were so obviously true, then it is would also be possible to define “why” in engineering terms.

The current edition of UK mag Hi-fi News (HFN) has a great article on the audible effects of clipping. Two key conclusions:
- Clipping at 3dB is largely inaudible, but 6dB is audible, and 9dB and above is intolerable.
- For speakers of average sensitivity, at least 300 wpc is needed to avoid the audible effects of clipping (if you listen at ‘realistic’ levels).
This type of discussion will be quite relevant to our meeting on the 31st. (Details to follow shortly.)
