I realize it may be a bit speaker dependent but I find even with Cornwall IV’s I prefer the ultralinear setting. The triode is a bit more saturated, the ultralinear a bit more precise. Both sound great. Like having 2 excellent amps!
I have the monos, but I really don't care for the triode mode. Dynamics are just not there, when driving Wilson's. Ultralinear has dynamics all day long.
