My intent with this review wasn't to spark a pissing contest between design approaches. If I stated a design feature that was untrue or perpetuated an already open wound I'm sorry.
I am however thrilled that this amp doesn't use the "more traditional" iron core paper weight output transformers that accounts for the majority of an amp's weight and negatively impacts the sound. How's that?
The sound of this amp does in fact sound as marvelous as other OTL amps I've heard, but does so with minimal tubes that are not run hard and it generates very little heat. The cost is also quite approachable for the level of quality sound it produces. Those cost benefits also extend when/if the tubes last as long as projected. Lastly, I didn't have to question if my speakers had the right impedance to mate well.
