I was playing lately with the Single-stage Melq and the DHT amp driving MF channel. It turned out that the Sun Audio VT-2A3 was very simple kit and it 2-3 hours to make it working. There is a lot in this kit that I do not like and some revisions will be made in it. Still, even in the “as is” state it is obvious that 6SN7-2A3 and 6E6P direct have very different character. My Sun-Audio VT-2A3 amp is not where I might comfortably talk about it’s sound, I think it will take a week or two to make this amp to sound better in a way it shell. Still, I wonder if those DHT might sound “light”.

Pretend that you are walking on water. You do not need to be a god to do so, you just need to walk very fast, let say 500km/hour, and then the surface tendon will keep you atop the water not allowing you to submerge. So, the Milq 6E6P has a good balance where to lower own speed to 150km/hour and to let the feel to submerge for 1/3 or where to run at 700km/hour not letting the feet to even to indent the water surface. The 2A3 it feels like heavy-sunk time of tube and it constantly run a fully submerged. It has seriousness but it does not look at this point that it has lightness.

Mind you that I am very ignorant with DHT and this is firth amp with 2A3 that I own. So, I need some time to figure out how to cook this tube in order to make it able to do the “lightness” tricks. It is very possible that I need to drive 2A3 with the 6E6P to get the right “acceleration” characteristics... I will be posting my further observations.
