Sort of on topic - I was looking at a broken 'mains conditioner' at the weekend - nothing built in to regulate the volts, just to clean it up.
Seeing the UK mains incoming on a scope, it's amazing how 'dirty' it is - the waveform is nothing like a nice clean sine wave you get from an audio oscillator . .it's distinctly mangled at the peaks.
What effect this does to the sound on any equipment driven by the mains is anyones guess - but it can't do it much good !!
Just another thought - if an OTL is push-pull - then it's bound to draw constant current form the mains - so any instantaneous current limiting by a regulator shouldn't affect anything . . .
