Re: OTL Amp in Ebay

205.200.189.2

I purchased one of these amplifiers through Mr. Merz's 1010 Design website, and can tell you it is everything he says it is. He told me he makes these amplifiers in his own shop in New Mexico. The physical layout of the amp is somewhat unconventional, but the construction and parts quality is very good. The transformers are Avel's, the wiring is teflon and hand done, (except for the output stage PC board), and the output tubes are NOS GE 6AS7's. This is no Chinese amplifier. The owner's manual is excellent. Good deal for the price (~$700), and it sounds pretty good with my KEF 103's. Transparent, fast, very detailed, and slightly loose in the bass, like most OTL's. A good way to get your OTL feet wet, and very easy to upgrade and modify, if you choose. The heat coming off this thing is another matter...
