IOW, it's all in your imagination, and your knowledge of the cost and
'exoticness' of the device.

Maybe, not that bothered, but I don't see how its exotic, just the
reverse I would have said.


What, with the Ongaku at £35,000 for a 25 watt amp, using a humungous
output tranny made with silver wire, and a 1920s radio transmitter
valve? Just how exotic does it need to be?

Agreed, I never said it had to be cheap, or couldn't be made exotic, my
point was, its possible to have a very simple SET circuit, its not
inherent in the class.

The last one I listened to was a PSE 300b amp, £1000 and I agree thats
not cheap in SS terms.

Also note that I didn't clame SET's were better, but just that it did
some things differently.

Anyway, who needs silver wound transformers
