Tonally , yes more like a live event than most…dynamically too with my horns.Lol , so you wanna state that your ...." SET " sounds like a live event ??
Please confirmthis is getting funny;

Thanks for pointing them out .
I actually watched a few of your vids already but i d mistaken them for live events , lol
Surely. But one purely subjective single opinion is just a data point. It is why it is interesting to collect and analyze many opinions and their biases. Fortunately properly carried and explained measurements are objective and do not need to be analyzed statistically. All we have is to have access to them.
Id say CAT does a better resemblance then lets say New audio frontiers , Alieno , Audionote UK , KONDO and on and on.
Sibatone is a good SET on the right transducer as its more neutral
Most other SET s are highly coloured imo and one can better go for a KT 88 VAC in my view .
To get both Tube Magic and Bass control

Please show us data and we will be able to compare it. We have many old interesting papers on this subject, but they suffer from a common problem - they compare tubes with old transistor designs, focusing on their known problems. But in fifty years electronics and solid state had a large evolution, making their main arguments quite week.
Eduardo de Lima line of thought that sometimes problems can complementary interact to cancel is interesting, but is limited to a few types of gear and is a roulette, needing a lot of experimentation. I quote "The high output impedance can have several ill effects on a system, but if the system is designed taking it in account it will actually benefit from it. And certainly there are the cases where it just happen to "fix" a bad design.!
and this is based on walking around Munich listening to different amps in different rooms. You have zero experience with any of those SETs
I have been hearing SET s at dealers / shows since 2004 , when did you start ??
Same tubes , same sound character , different boxes.
I have owned a Zanden 7000 300B for 2 or 3 years.
I tried 3 different types of 300 B s incl Sophia Electric.
PS The CAT pre amp is the important attribute in the chain

how did you extrapolate to audionote, NAF and others from that? Especially their non 300b, and the respective different valves too. Extrapolating super power
This thread is about whether high power SETs are better then low power ones .
I see no mention of tube types .
Imv they might have more power but the overall sound character stays the same .
Whether one likes it or not and thinks its resembles more the real thing is his / her own opinion .
I m not gone argue that

i don’t like high powered myself. But the CAT JL7 reminded me of another high powered KT amp, Ayon Orthos
We found the CAT JL2 Signature to be ultimately inferior to the NAT SE2SE on Apogee Grand panels. CAT is good...for push pull but there are many better (more realistic) sounding SETs. You , like many underplay how harmonically rich live unamplified instruments sound. Do some amps go too far? Yes, but far fewer than sound unnaturally thin.
You have been extolling the virtues of a particular GM70 amp of late...that qualifies. no?
What speakers did you use for the Zanden? Your own??
Haha whats that smiley doing there morricab ?
