Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
Blindjim ;I took a peak down this rabbit hole as well as the one next door addressed as high efficiency speakers . One of the responses by Ralph addressed the difference between the requirements of SET amps and PP amps . He stated the same desirab...

Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2
Some really nice responses !Almarg ;Thanks for the technical info...always important but frequently overlooked !The web states that my integrated is 100k ohms .That looks good for the Herron . How about the Allnic ? At 1.2k , that is quite a jump ...

My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated
tablejockey ;That sounds like an excellent decision ! Contentment is so underrated compared to upgraditis ! LOL .Myself...I am content with Shuguang 6Ca7's and vintage 7316's . Very extended , clear , detailed and above all musical .Happy Tunes 
My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated
tablejockey ;I found the Brimar/ECC82 to have better voice delineation than Amperex with about an equal guitar portrayal . Also it had less top end extension but a nice sparkle , liveliness and air although not as musical as Amperex and RCA clear ...

Thanks bob .   Except for the Vandersteen 3a's , they look better than my Dicapo i's . Pitiful , because I thought that the Dicapo i's were pretty decent with tubes !Happy Tunes .
