Balanced SET? North Audio


Has anyone heard of North Audio in Canada. They build SET amps that run balanced. They are bacically two single ended amps, one handling the positive and the other the negative signal. He says he owns the patent on this. This is why no one else is doing it. Could this be the ultimate.

We've done something *like* this for the last- 29 years? or so... (of course we got rid of the output transformer too). What we found was that to be effective *every stage* in the amplifier had to be summed in balanced mode- in effect every stage had to be differential.

The North Audio sounds like its a push-pull amplifier. If I recall right Luxman made an amplifier that would have to have had a lot of similarities back in the 70s. It even had a triode output.
