Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp?

All are good,it depends on you.You have to listen to your purchase and in your place...you have to Live with the choice you made.Best of Luck.

@atmasphere Amp in question is special order Tektron, Italian company, amp was Robin at Robyatt Audio personal amp.

Thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts and input. After deeply and carefully exploring my own thoughts, and pondering everything commented on here, in particular your insights, Ralph, I made the decision, yesterday to purchase the PP dream amp (monoblocks). 

I had been looking for this particular 2a3 PP amplifier for over eight years, and had a daily checkpoint, over that entire time, to see if Hi-Fi Shark showed any coming up for sale in North America. Over that period, I had become enamored with SETS, possibly due to not having any other great options. But this amplifier finally appearing got me back on track. 

The story, unfortunately, has a rather sad conclusion. When I called to purchase it, they were literally on another line with someone who had beaten me to the punch by perhaps two minutes, at most. This is almost certainly the end of that dream. I’m retired, who knows if I will even be alive when another one appears, IF it even does, or for this kind of price. Not to mention, my hearing is still fine, but I have any number of friends who have been impacted with age related hearing loss. And once that happens, you only choice is to sell off your quality audio gear and try to learn to cope with listening to music reproduced in much lesser quality, since, at that point, it won’t matter anyway. 

It appears that my existing "good" SET is what I will have to live with. 

I thought I had a bit of time to purchase the amp because it was not generally even known to be on sale. And then, either Monday night, or early yesterday, some hours before I called to purchase it, all of that changed, which I was unaware of. It’s my unforgiveable mistake to live with. And regrets for likely as long as I can listen to music. Oh well, it could be worse, I could be dead or imprisoned.

@nightfall - so sorry to hear this 😔 - it will take awhile, but the gutted feeling does go away. 
 

@sns - I have this thought about music playback in relation to fidelity - that while most of us seek the most true-to-life presentation of what we hear, the highest fidelity does not happen when the performer/artists of each track we hear is brought into our listening space with utter realism in homogenising timbre and tone, but rather when we are transported from our listening rooms to the specific venue of resonant air where the recording took place, in the process of differentiation. High fidelity is about sorting the differences of realism from track to track rather than homogenising similarity of realistic outcome - the idea that preference for a more forward presentation does not represent high fidelity, because not all performances were recorded with emphasis on a forward presentation. I wondered what your thoughts are about this.

In friendship - kevin

@nightfall - Selling your gear because of age-related hearing loss may be YOUR only option, but it's certainly not the only option for people like me who wear hearing aids, and I've worn them for over 20 years. Just bought a fine new tube preamp yesterday, in fact.
