I had a VAC amp that was switchable from ultra linear to triode and always preferred ultra. Triode was too soft and lacked dynamics even with my ESP speakers which present a tube friendly load. Now I have a BAT amp which is only triode and lacks nothing in drive. I don't believe the switch option provides a fair comparison. Pure triode sounds awesome at the expense of inefficiency and massive heat.
Triode or Ultra-linear? Why?
Several months ago I added PrimaLuna Prologue Mono-block amps and Preamp to my system. Of course, I keep fiddling with the Triode/Ultra-linear switch, It's so easy since it's on the remote. Can't decide which I enjoy most. Leaning toward triode. What's your experience?
