Hi there,

Hands down ultimate to date is the Acoustat DD Servo OTL. It happens to be tube but could just as well be ss. Eliminating the interface is the point. That's the game changer.

Nothing beats the speed of a good OTL. That's where transparency lives. You can always eq.

Hey Ralph. Here's my chance to zero in now that you've chimed in. My experience has been that there's no free lunch. What is the compromise in implementing the ZEROs? It seems you would lose extension one way or another, no?
