How would you know that an amp NOT YET BUILT would
sound "****ty"?

Because it was an SET.

Can you give us the names of the last 10 SETs that
you've listened to?

I could, but then I'd have to kill you.
Besides, one POS amp is enough, or are you telling me
that there are SET amps that can play at normal levels
without massive distortion?

I probably listened to at least 10 SETs at HE2005. The SET rooms at HE2005
were pretty much the same - there was an altar-like area between the
speakers that was occupied by a glowing SET. The glow of the tubes was
especially apparent. The glowing was almost as apparent as the gritty
sound.

I still remember walking into one room, glancing about and noticing the
glowing apparition on the floor. However I didn't hear the gritty sound of a
SET. I looked again and noticed that the tubes were in pairs. I had found
the Manley room and the tubed power amps were p-p, and probably even with
loop feedback.
