I don't think Richard Clark is trying to trick anybody. He has simply realised what others should have done also, that the audiophile talk is sometimes lacking in solid backing. He is (or was) offering $10,000 to anyone who could prove him wrong. And thousands tried, and failed.
Anyway, if you could conduct some true double-blind tests of the Yamaha vs a tube circlotron, it would be very interesting to hear the outcome. My own impression of the various OTL amps I have built is that they sound great, but also that they are rematkably close in sound to a solid-state amp. (Perhaps because they have very little colouration from output transformers.)
