Why no threads on OTL amps?
Jtinn, BTW, Kris is entitled to his opinion, just as you are. Just as I am. Please do not feel threatened if another amp line surpasses your favorite. It happens to your customers all the time, when you have something new and great to sell them. P... 
Headphone amplification
I haven't compared, but David Berning's MicroZOTL is a headphone/low power amp with a headphone jack and volume control. It is an OTL tube design with (2)12at7 input tubes and (2)6sn7 ouput tubes. It is fabulous. Costs $750 direct from Berning. Ab...

Srouse, I haven't heard the Exemplar amp. Did you hear a 2A3 or a 300B? Checked into it at the Bottlehead site. It seems that he(John) has gotten some input from the Bottlehead people on his amps. Bet they sound great.90kHz bandwidth, must be a he... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Oh Ben, how right you are about that! But, you know, if you read wine reviews, they sound alot like audio reviews. "The bouquet is palpable","The unctious collection of flavors dances on your pallet", etc. Perhaps the two hobbies are closer relate... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
I have just $2k in my system and love it. I am not a neophyte to audio, nor am I rich. I just know what I like and found a way to get it - within my price range. Now you may smile at that, but my system is a direct-in(no preamp), tube OTL, DIY sin... 
Need advice in coming out from the analog dead
Rockhead, good analog equip. will take alot of the noise out of listening to vinyl. A good record cleaning machine, proper record deck/arm/cart., correctly designed phono stage that will not overload, will take away most of the annoying sounds and... 
Deciding on the right huge speaker
Before choosing, you should listen to a set of Lowther speakers that have been broken in properly. Some people believe that these are the best sounding speakers. There are several enclosure types that use Lowthers, and have different sonic charact... 
Plinius vs. McCormack
Mgminc, you'd better duck and run! When the McCormack owners read this, you're gonna be toast! 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
Cool post, Tubegroover. All modern OTLs take the music one step closer to the truth. One comment I would make about the load stability is that the large number of tubes is also an attempt to lower the output impedance of the amp, not just current ...

C'mon, where are the Graaf and Croft people? And how about the Transcendance folks?

Thanks, Thorty40, very cool pix. 
Are You Happy?
Art, tongue in cheek, I hope. Cheers! 
Am I assuming too Much?
Taz, if you want to get a Linn, don't let the setup scare you off. I have been trained in Linn setup at a dealer I used to work for and would be happy to assist you by e-mail. It is not that hard to do. I'm sure there are others here on the goN th...

Thorty 40, I couldn't pull up your URL with my search engine. Would love to see that design. If you could find another way for us to see it, it would be much appreciated. 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
Jtinn, my recommendation to you as a dealer would be to audition the Berning line in your system. I believe that if you do this, you will pick up that line as your new reference standard. I am sure the Tenors are exquisite amplifiers that anyone w...
