SET bliss
I love the beauty of music and the emotion it can provoke. An audio system absolutely must sound 'natural in timing, tone,timbre and dynamic ebb and flow for this musical communication to exist.How would I devise a system that could best approach this mandatory criteria? I decided to build my system based around a DHT SET amplifier.The very simple and straight forward circuits(have stood the test of time) with short signal path and unencumbered by complexity and high number of parts is very appealing.I covet components that were designed and built with much listening evaluation involved.Simple circuits fortified with over built power supplies and careful quality part selection is a sucessful formula.

This approach in my experience leads to purity, natural sound with convincing realism. This equals emotional involvement with music and pure joy.The compenents I`ve chosen were created by builders who adhere to the same priorities I cherish. Listening, well implemented simplicity, the pursuit of organic sound quality and a very high standard of construction. I sincerely appreciate their abundant talent,effort and commitment.
