The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier
By the way, does "OTL" on the name mean "output transformer less"?  But isn't it true that most tube preamp don't have output transformers on the output?

Excellent post...now duck! LOL  Got popcorn lols. 
The Physics of Electricity
It's like a Toyota vs a Ferrari.  They will do grocery shopping just fine, but how you get you there is the difference. 
Directional cables - what does that really mean?
At least it gives me something to chew on while I am sipping Cabernet Sauvignon lols. 
Thiel Owners
I even heard this mild hollowing-out interference a bit with the Thiel CS6 when I had it. Not nearly as bad as the Meadowlarks. I was frankly quite surprised when I got the 3.7s as to how this issue seemed totally banished. With both the 3.7s... 
Thiel Owners
Thiel seemed to have solved that first-order crossover issue in their later designs. Probably due to the use of coax drivers.  The high freq./short wavelength xover between the mid and the tweeter is most problematic, but with coax, it's mostly... 
Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables

It means you paid a lot no doubt for something that is not real. You now have bragging rights but no improvement to speak of for audio. For a moment I thought you were talking about beauty augmentation. 
Directional cables - what does that really mean?
Actually, directionality can be measured - and has been measured. Where’s the data? It has to be actual proven data and not in some guy’s wet dream.  Oh, I got it.  It's one of those "Top Gun" thing where "I can show you but I have to kill you" ri... 
Directional cables - what does that really mean?
If  directionality and "diodes" exist in wire then I should be able to detect pulsating DC on the other end when connected incorrectly. I don't think it will be a simple measurement like you would with discrete components.  These diodes, if the... 
Must be good, it's purple
Besides, it's clearly a press release for advertisement purpose and NOT a review.

That’s .....very.....good....Andy. You’re ....very....independent Should I read that from left to right or right to left?

Looking forward to Part 2 next week release.  I still got my Avengers End Game end of July streaming release on my calendar.
