Comment:

This is our second generation 2A3 SET Design which we originally debuted in 2002. Although those days were a 300B era, we just loved the 2A3 more. And by any standard world wide, this is what we call a good 2A3 design  It took us a few years to fine tune the sound on this MK2 2A3SET, and now we really like how it is voiced. We are heating it with AC, and we are happy with the quiet result. Running DC (the path most designers take) is quieter on paper, but it just doesn't sound better than AC. The comparison is much like Analogue (AC) versus Digital (DC). And our 2A3SET is quieter than many SET amps out there heated with DC.

Feedback and review from a 1st time TRIODE LAB buyer: (Email is a direct copy with the permission of Robert S, Switzerland)

Greetings Frank,

All my apologies for not getting back to you earlier with feedback about the 2A3-S amplifier: the tubes took almost two weeks to arrive due to the Easter holiday period. I've only been able to listen to it during the last few days.

As a reminder they're connected to my Zu Audio Soul Supreme speakers (16 ohm and 101db/W) and I'm using Tung-Sol 6SN7 drivers, EH 2A3 Gold power tubes and a Svetlana 'C' logo 5U4G rectifier tube. I also have a pair of EH 6SN7 drivers and a Mullard GZ32 rectifier tube to try later.

First I would like to let you know that I like a lot the white car paint finish: it looks perfect.

I've been listening to various kind of music on the amp from small jazz quartets to electronic music and I must admit that I'm really impressed with the results. Instrument textures and voices are incredibly smooth and the dynamics (especially on drums or percussions) are out of this world. In particular the difference between the 8 and 16 ohm switch is a must have because the output is way stronger on the 16 ohm connection, sound stage is better, everything opens up much more. I think the simpler non active Zu speakers (the Soul and the Druid) are a really good match to your amp.

The other aspect that I'm impressed by is the bass. Most of the 300B or other SET amps have weak flabby bass but not the 2A3-S! All bass instruments sound deep and tight as they should and redefine what bass can be with a properly designed SET amp. Hats off!

I also would like to let you know that noise and hum are for all purposes non existent - even with the ear stuck on the driver one can only hear the faintest hum on 100+db sensible speakers: well done! The only missing thing would be some kind of manual with recommendations about tubes and basic instructions about how to connect the amplifier or switch output impedance.

To sum it up, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase of the 2A3-S. For the price I think it's an outstanding product and with the Hashimoto OPT it's really a joy to listen to.

Best regards from Switzerland!

Robert S
