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

No one still alive was the first

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. :)
