@bruce19 That ’magic’ you’re looking for in an SET might be mostly distortion- they make quite a lot of it, mostly the 2nd harmonic which gives ’warmth’ to the sound. I’d give your ST-35 another chance. Here are the considerations that will help ...

Nice!  
Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters.
There have been some epically hot periods in metropolitan Chicago this summer. I have had a long running affair with a pair of Avantgarde Uno s2’s and don’t really require a great deal of power. I have two dissimilar but equally compelling amps (...

@zeal If it doesn't play, have you tested the tubes on the power supply chassis? If either one of those were to fail the phono section could go dead.  
Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps
@audioman58 The class D amps we make right now are exactly that and were from the start.  
Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps
Atmashere when was the last   time  the class D mono blocks  were Officially upgraded or improved ?  AGD for example has had 2-33 upgrades that are a noticeable step up  in sonics depending on model.  there has been several new Gan Mosfets in t...

Shame you have to toot your own horn; I guess folks consider you ‘large.’ @oldrooney That might be because we've been around for so long (46 years). IMO getting into this sport should be for fun and not to make money so we've always been a smal... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
and do you really think they get within .01 dB or whatever it is that Raul thinks is needed on this end? @herman  No. That spec sounds dubious. There would be no way to verify that in field testing since the margin of error in the test equipme... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
Here's a question that arises when one considers the RIAA equalization error in a phono stage: What is the standard by which the error is calculated? Is it the curve described by the equations in the Lipshitz paper?  Or is it the ideal curve, whi...

Is D for Dry? Class D...
Well, "10Audio" just did a mini review of a pair of class D amps and...ouch! I wonder if they were defective? @grk No, its more likely that Jerry is behaving the same way he did 25 years ago. At that time he dissed our products (by changing pr... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
'All' or most that you know of? At any rate, I have to agree with you that 'knowledge levels and skills' is an issue. People seem to get into this sport out of desire rather than if they have the education or not. If you take the time to read Dr... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
Tubes units normally have really high RIAA deviation 20hz-20khz some witn a swing over 1 db and why is important this deviation?: because we are talking of a curve where any discrete frequency deviation affects around 2 octaves in that RIAA curve...

Atmosphere. When are you going to be coming out with a new even better model Gan Fet amplifier ? @audioman58 What is meant by 'even better'?  
Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used
You might also have someone refurbish an old Dynaco SCA-35- then you wouldn't need the preamp.
