St. Louis SET amp shootout November 7th and 8th
I tried to set this up a couple years ago, but there was little interest at the time. Maybe there will be more interest this time...
Some folks have not heard the magic that the small, single ended triode amps can create with high efficiency speakers, or in smaller listening spaces where amps of lesser power make a lot of sense. Now that I have returned from sunny southern California, I figured it might be a good time to run this past y'all and see if there is more interest this time around.
We have some killer hi efficiency speakers here...Altec Model 19s, Klipsch RF7s, and(stretching a fair amount) a pair of IMF TSL80 MKIIs at 87 dB, or even a pair of Grant Fidelity LS 3/5As.
For the SET amps, the usual suspects are(top, left to right) a pair of Handmade Electronics crafted WE 91A replicants with 300B output tubes, a Sean Casper WE 91A variant with a dual triode output 5998 or WE 421 output, a Sun Audio SV2A3 integrated. On the floor, we have an Opera Consonance 211 set of monoblocks, a set of JFL Horus Parafeed inspired 2A3 custom monos, a Thom Pallazola custom 2A3 integrated, and a humble Magnavox EL84 pentode single ended that is cute as a button.
Possible visitors include a 26/45 home made custom stereo amp, a Welborne DRD 300B pair, and even a Yamamoto AO 8. The first two are also on the selling block, so you could love the way one sounds and then take it home.
Saturday hours will run from 3 pm to 9 pm, while Sunday we will be rolling from 12:30 to 6 pm.
You can ring me at 314-651-9396 with any questions.
Thanks, Dave

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
