I am newly converted tube devotee. But have been currious about the SET configuration. Could you please shed some light on the topic also in comparison with 300b's. Many thanks in advance
Some designs utilize transformers to couple the driver tube to the output tube which eliminates any capacitors in the signal path. With very, very good transformers this is about as close to "straight wire with gain" as one can get it would seem.
Wavac is one company that uses DC coupling which also eliminates capacitors in the path. You'll have to search; there are not very many at all. Sun Audio has an interstage coupled model, methinks. Border Patrol offers a beautiful interstage coupled four chassis solution for about 10 large (plus shipping, duty, sales tax); their products rarely come up for sale used. There must be a reason.
