All DIY clones: Pass Aleph 2, Aleph 5, Sony VFET, XA252 mosfet, Zenductor, Zenductor II, ACA.... I think the FW F5 can be considered SET.

The F4s are just current drive OP, not an amp.

My electric bill is onerous when I run the music.

I think the FW F5 can be considered SET.

Huh? Its a push-pull transistor circuit. The fact that its musical should tell you something.

 

[TonyE]

You are right... I misstyped. It's a push pull class A. A rare bird.

I should have added my DIY SIT4 clone.

Mostly I'm into Class A... like my XA252 ( the XA25 MOSFET clone ). The amps get big very quickly... even with aluminum casework, you can't help the weight of the power supply and then you want mono.... or even dual mono in the same chassis....

I do have some nice AB amps too... CJMF2100, Nuforce STA200.. and so on... They are heavy too with big linear power supplies.

I do have class D amps... just to show that I'm not necessarily stuck in the technology, just the sound.

The biggest audio problem I got, besides paying 48 cents per KwH... is that I'm flat out running out of room.

I live these last steps of my life as an audiophile with the Kondo Souga, I am in love with it and I gave it the best tubes possible, single plate, double plate, fivre, rca, brimar, a collection worth a few thousand euros. obviously to drive the high efficiency of the avantgarde duo xd. I recently purchased the pre Poseidon DAC and sold the Kondo G70i I had, I'm happy with the sound I have today with these splendid machines...then if you want I'll tell you the rest...
