Correct, my number as some SET goes well above this. Expensive Xformer. It certainly not the parts.

General comment from me was that tube will always be more expensive to produce and, hence, buy since you need to include output transformers. Even you can't find anything wrong in that statement.

If the economies of scale for both SS and tubes were exactly the same, tubes would still be more expensive due to the output transformers.

Nothing controversial said or inferred.

Nothing wrong with the statement. Yes, you did indicate the output transformes. That is what I commented on. Very expensive it seems that those output xformes increase the prise so much for a no nothing amp, a SET.

Nothing controversial, just a comment on th eexpense of the xforemers as it is nothing to make them and it seems all the tubes need them, so there must be a volume production someplace, no.
