OK, you got me, but it wasn't intended to be all that serious. None of those things I mentioned were hi-fi. Technically speaking though, no one still alive was the first to build a SET. SE triode amps using the 2A3 in communications amps and modulators were not uncommon in the '40s and '50s. And I remember friends whose fathers had similar designs for mono hi-fi when I was a kid. So, I didn't have a SET with an actual triode before the OP, but others certainly did. :)

Just that I found your reference to tetrodes in a triode thread curious. But yeah, single ended triodes, tetrodes and pentodes for audio output goes back to the early days of radio/electronics and is nothing new . . .

  There were many common SE amps in the 1960s and 1970s.
