If you do not know if you prefer the 2A3 or 300B, you may want to take a look at the AES-SE1 Signature. It will let you play both. It is relatively inexpensive and lets you play with a larger variety of triodes. Once you have established a preference, you can always upgrade to a stand alone model later if you wish.
Which SET amp to buy?
I am thinking about making the plunge into the SET amp world.I have not chosen speakers.I will pick my amp first and then search for efficient speakers.I have a budget of 2000.00 and do not know whether to go the 2a3 or 300b route.I have heard good things about AES,Wright-Sound and Bottlehead.The Wrights look very interesting.Especially the Mono 8s.I have heard there is an inherent hum in some SET amps.Is this true of all of them or only certain brands?Any input you looneys?
