What are the trade offs? PUSH PULL vs. pure SET
Thanks Atmasphere it is always a compromise look at this link from Steve Vaughn's Home page link best to you Groovey Listening to Simon & Garfunkel-Bridge Over Troubled Waters- the Only Boy Alive in NYC |
Hi Atma-Sphere After you responded to my thread your moniker rang a bell and i remembered hearing about your designs elsewhere (Arthur Salvatore's woofer in sheeps clothing) so I looked in on your site and read alittle here and there. I am still at the research stage and will leave my final decision a while longer. When I asked Arthur specificly about OTL he said "Everything being equal, I still prefer SET amps or amps using DHT output tubes, but a good OTL amp can be an excellent choice depending on the speakers." In that context my room is very large with a cathedral pine ceiling walls and floors. I have 89db 8ohm JBL 240 Ti that I enjoy very much. They are a full frequency speaker, not as low as a sub but claim 37hz- 27k. For now they are my systems strength not its weakness. As for the present thread where does DHT output tubes fit into the big picture Are they a design option for SET alone or are they more VERSITILE fitting into PP, SET,and OTL design parameters ? I only have enough knowledge to be dangerous so please share what you can. thanks Best Regards Groovey Records Listening to- Charlie Mingus-Blues & Roots-Atlantic SD 1305 |
