I'm on record for years, repeatedly, ad nauseam, as saying
that the finest amp I ever designed is a Class A triode-linked EL34
push pull amp with adjustable negative feedback. I have PP amps too,
several. I've never even met a SETtie who had *only* a SET amp.


The question is why would anyone want an SET for anything more than
soldering practice?

Well, maybe because they like the sound, whether or not it's "more
accurate".

Seems pretty logical to me.

That would be fine, if psychos like Jute wouldn't keep peddling this
'ultrafidelista' crap. Interestingly, while he reserves the term
ultrafidelista for 'zero feedback' SET lovers, he claims that he
himself prefers a much higher-powered PP amp with NFB. Is this guy
seriously deranged, or what?

That was indeed the ultimate rhetorical question........
