SET vs OTL


Could someone tell me the difference between a single-ended triode amp and an output transformerless amp?

Is it true that despite its operational inconveniences, a good OTL (eg Tenor Audio) will always sound more "natural" than a good SET (eg a Cary 300SE)?

Thanks

Lets be transparent with  OTL what is bad and what is good about it not just trying to promote your own product.I know that most all pre amp are OTL.Not all OTL are the same.I hope we can Blind test  otl out there
I would say that a well designed SET 2A3/300B  has the warm sound than also well designed an OTL having the same output wattage.
It's hard to argue in words and win the war,what we need is to A-B these things  side by side and I hope somebody will initiate  a fest for audio fanatics  into reality. 
Ralph,Bruce has it and probably a lot of DIY OTL.
Charles,If ever there is a fest,we could find a way to A-B things out..
