I'd like to take a simple poll. I don't really want to make it into a debate
about the merits of various configurations, I'm just curious about what's in
use. What is the configuration of the amplifier you most commonly listen to?
I'll start with mine,
I switch one of three amps when I arrive in my study, and a fourth one
when my family goes to bed:
Output Tube: trioded EL34; 300B; Quad silicon; 6SN7 for electrostatic
headphones
Configuration: Push Pull; SE; PP; balanced PP
NFB: adjustable, usually none; none; I don't ask about the NFB in the
Quad SS amps!; none
Power Output: 20W; 3.7W; 140W; maybe one watt
Speaker Efficiency: Quad ESL-63 86dB/m, Lowther type horns 103dB/m
Music Type: Classical (and classic rock'n'roll) -- I play mostly
chamber music and voices
