| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Mike and Del I thank you both for the opportunity to share your impressions with us all. I can't say I'm surprised by the outcome. I have heard too many wonderful comments about the Tenors to think otherwise. Hope to hear someday, maybe the shooto... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? I have no anal audio habits, I'm one of the lucky perfect ones. Now if you ask my wife she'll tell you that leaving cd's or records lying on the shelf or against the cabinet without putting back where they belong. In due time dear, in due time. Th... | |
| Berning ZH270 + AP Virgos = magic? You won't get an argument from me Allan. But to the purist, an OTL amplifier is one that has nothing between the tube plate and the speaker terminal, in other words, direct coupled. As an OTL enthusiast it is a moot point to me as the Berning, I a... | |
| Berning ZH270 + AP Virgos = magic? I concur with the above comments about the Berning. Although I haven't heard with Virgo's I have no doubt that it would be a great match. A great feature of this amp is the 3 feedback settings to tailor the sound to your tastes and speakers. You w... | |
| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? I have also used the last preservative over a 16 year period and swear by it for all the reasons given above. | |

| Bob Dylan, Keith Richards & Tom Waits: A cappella What'll they title it, "The Three Baritones" or maybe "The Twanger Trio" or "The Rock Farts sing the Standards". This has gotta be a joke. Keith Richards singing lead on "You'll never walk alone" Sounds as far fetched as a pot of gold at the end o... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Now this is the way it SHOULD be, folks really passionate about how they hear reproduced music. btw Twl, did I say thanks to you for starting this thread? | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Hi JonathanYou are right, by the truest definition of OTL, the Berning is not. The patent application and schematic is on Berning's website for those interested. It may be a moot point, the proof is in the listening. I am not certain how it would ... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" If I want to smile my way out of the doldrums I put on Jorge Aragao 'Live". Nothing lifts my spirit more than great samba. Truly music that reaches the heart, soul and feet simultaneously. | |
| cornfedboy, signing off cfbThanks so much for your wry humor, I'll sorely miss that. Your style and the substance of your comments were always appreciated and anticipated by me. And I just want you to know something, I never held it against you that you are a ss guy :) T... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Mes, I highly doubt that anyone is going to "take a bath" on a 4.5k amp when upgrading to one 4 times the price. I don't see the relevance of your post nor understand your point. Used Bernings don't seem to hang around on the market long. Berning'... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Twl In defense of Jtinn I would like to say this, he has always let it be know he is a dealer in each thread he is involved in where he offers an opinion or rave. I certainly sense his enthusiasm for the Tenor and have come to highly respect his i... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Twl I am also a Transcendent folk, still have it. A great little 25 watt amp it is. This is the one that brought me to the realization of what OTL amps are all about. I doubt that you can do better at the price and power rating.Regardless of which... | |
| Are You Happy? Artemus - my condolences to you for your tastes in wine, "sorry couldn't resist". Speaking of wine or any alcoholic beverage for that matter can't improve on a really compressed bright digital recording. I don't know of any recording studio that d... |
