Bill	The true sound of S.E. Class A not push pull etc. for guitar. I think alot of us want to know what a pure powerful true s.e. class A amp i.e. 20watts and up would sound like for guitar. I guess a parallel pentode design to save money on tubes would be a good place to start. Now what about those even order harmonics would they be better sounding for guitars?(maybe to thick sounding?) Would a pentode tube have as many even order harmonics as a DHT 300B in the same pure s.e. class A design? Has anyone used a Cary Audio amp for testing a high power pure class A amp for guitar? Thanks,Bill
