Ralph,I think Realdeal is right,I also made an OTL using single KR52B,5R4GYB  tube rectified  with 600V on the plate.,no feedback and what a transparency.
Ralph,The OTL is only using one DHT tube and 2 other tubes,3 tubes total per ch.,Audiophiles are looking for the best sound, just like the Atmas,that you claimed they are the best for the money.Are we  looking practicality or sound quality?
notnow2,How did you know that is not practical?I also designed & build  one with interchangeable output tube using only one of either VV52B,,300B or KT88.With proper design,you can use any power tube to make an OTL.
