It is my long observation that PP amps are very bad for driver with Alnico driver, they usually eat all details. The ceramic drivers however, that are ordinary are horrible for HF, are very nicely work with PP amps…


Hello Romy,

have you searched for explainations for these observations? Are there others who made the same observations and tried to explain them? Does the damping factor play a role?
From my limited experience I can say that a SS PP amp doesn´t eat details in combinations with this driver (obviously ceramic, but why two demodulation rings?) Apart from the details (comparable to vacuum tube / alnico) I find that there is more control/precision/stability, so is it the damping factor that plays a role?
