Is it finally working?
this is in some ways a scary thread. My OTL3's are still working well, no red glow, running cool, and sounding fantastic. But maybe this explains why one of them caught fire years back; perhaps one tube entered thermal runaway and melted the top cap, and things went bad from there. I suppose someday i will have problems again with the tubes. I've got a fair stock of spares, but who knows if they will end up being good or if I will be able to find someone to do the necessary adjustments?
Spent a couple of evenings just listening in amazement to a wide variety of music.....tonight the original LP pressing of Patricia Barber's Modern Cool. With my Stax speakers, the NYAL OTL's,
the Klyne SK5, and a van den Hul Frog, the tangible presence of her voice and band, and the beauty of the harmonic structure, was breathtaking.
By the way she has a new single release available on iTunes, a solo cover of "River" by Joni Mitchell, that is just lovely. (For her fans, I guess, if there are any here.)
