Tenor Audio
I spoke to the gentlemen at Tenor some years back at CES. Very nice people and very respectful. The designer knew who I was and told me precisely what was in the amp.Its no secret that the amplifier uses a Circlotron in the same manner that we pio... 
Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth
Hey Albert, did you ever find any vinyl by the Eden, a group from Australia? They did two albums I've been able to find that sound very much like early DCD, although more on the ambient side, including harmonic singing. I like the 2nd LP the best.... 
Tenor Audio
Yes, you are right. Rushton was not suggesting that it is identical to what we make now. It is however nearly if not identical to one that we used to use back in the 80s although we didn't use the 6C33 as it was not available in the US back then.J... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Dude, that's awesome. It'd be nice to hear that again.

Best Amp/Preamp/CD or DAC for Wilson Watt Puppy 7
FWIW (and I am definately blowing my own horn on this one), John Giolas of Wilson Audio has access to everything and chose Atma-Sphere MA-2s in his setup at home.See also:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/atmasphere_ma2ii3.htm 
Otl's with AvantGarde Duos?
I don't doubt what you are saying: One of the more brilliant concepts seen in amplifiers in the last 20 years or so and he has it mislabeled :)

Hi David, we may disagree on whether on not conventional OTLs have weakness that other arts do not; that is a matter for elsewhere.You misinterpreted my request for an explanation of the air core transformer's function. I was asking if it is an OT... 
Otl's with AvantGarde Duos?
Hi David, could you then explain the presence of the air core transformer in the output section of your amplifier? Seems to me that a rose by any other name is still a rose. So I guess what I want to know is how the air core transformer shown is n...

Allanbhaganinfo, you might do as I did and read the following patent at this link:http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,612,646.WKU.&a... 
Tenor amp / Coincident Total Victory combo
FWIW, if I can chip in, the M-60 (and our other amps as well) have changed a bit over the last few months and years. You might try out a later set, or get the older set updated.See also:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/atmasphere_ma2ii3.htm Whil... 
Otl's with AvantGarde Duos?
Hi Jayarr, FWIW, the Berning is not an OTL. There is a lot of misconception that it is, but it is just that.An amp that uses an output transformer (air core or not) and semiconductors in the output section does not qualify as an OTL. Unquestionabl... 
Tube Amplifier for Maggies
You might also consider getting a set of ZEROs for whatever amplifier you get. Most tube amplifiers have difficulties with four ohms, owing to difficulties in the output transformer. The ZERO eliminates this issue. Maggies need more then 17 or 22 ...
