Quote: RCA was a strange company, they went through periods where they were trying to mid range radios with a single ended output, first with type #50s in the late 1920s, then then a singled ended 6L6 in the mid 1930s....
Hi Arran. Yes, I completely agree with you. RCA sometimes created very strange concepts. For example, I was once very shocked by the "push puls" on one combined radio tube, which worked in class "B" mode in such generally excellent devices as the RCA 240. I have never listened to it, but I suspect that the sound quality there is very low
Quote: I have to say the Zenith 9S262 with SE plays better than some Philcos with pushpulls.
That is why, Michael, I really want to buy it
