I would not generalize sound belong a topology. What we call SET or PP sound are juts characteristics of bad SETs and bad PPs. Even if we do generalize then it is not my observation that SETs “slightly electrify” sound. Rather they sound soften  but still it is very foolish generalization as I have seen SETs that were more brutal then many SS PP amps.  So, go figure. Perhaps the some SETs that you heard did have the qualities the you described but that where ONLY the characteristics of those specific SETs…

Yes, I am familiar with those "plastic" colorations. Amny, VERY MANY so-called audiophile parts have those colorations… and the damn audiophiles recognize thier “quality” ONLY if those colorations are presented. The Hollands are juts beginning of the VERY long list: large polypropylene caps the may used as substitute of electrolytics, all flat coils and many many many others…

The older production of ML2 had none of that. It was very neutral, very subordinate and very I would say pastel (in very positive connotation of this word). I sincerely feel that timbre and tone-wise the older ML2 was unmatchable. If it would be the only demand I had from an amplifier then I would never stepped away form the Lamm ML2
