Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET


I currently have a Rogue Cronus that I have been quite satisfied with, but I am intrigued with the possibility of a SET amplifier. From both a technical and sonic perspective, what are the differences between a tube amp with switchable ultralinear and triode mode vs. a true SET amplifier?

SETs are where it's at! With the right speaker SETs are the reference. My favorite is a 45 SET. Playing through my Cardersound Madisons with the planet 10 fostex is very nice.You'll notice much more detail,staging will be accurate with each recording just on and on. How many times have you seen an add where the seller is going to SETs? Try one you'll hear the difference. I've had a lot of people try tube amps and were floored then they go on to a SET. Well that's the end of the story.Basically if you like a tube amp you'll love a SET.
