Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

True but

Both 6AQ5 and 50C5 are (were?) beam tetrodes, not triodes. "SET" usually signifies Single Ended Triode. Although it's certainly possible to triode strap these tetrodes for SET operation, I've never seen them used as anything other than tetrodes in consumer equipment. And there'd be a significant increase in drive voltage reqmt and a power output reduction compared to tetrode operation. Or maybe SET now stands for either Single Ended Tetrode or Single Ended Triode.
