>I don't have a darn thing to ask or to bitch about.These 'OTL's' are obviously so effective that the owners (and makers) are in sonic bliss and beyond discussion. Somebody needs to do a solid state version. Well I guess that's sorta what PassLabs does?

Oh how I'd love to have a pair of the big Aleph mono blocks to drive my JBL's with (assuming I had a room for the JBL's, but that's another story) as I have the Aleph P Preamp and Ono phono stage - which I happened to buy from acres verde when he decided to go sandless. I have had the pleasure of hearing my system with his M60's driving the JBL's and it was simply the best ever. They provided a real sense of ease and made the room seem deeper than it was, effectively putting me further away from my speakers. I always felt like my room needed at least another five feet in depth so I could get further away from the speakers (the horn part anyway) and those amps made that happen, amongst other things.Alas, I'm on a holding pattern for a while until my housing situation changes since I moved into a condo with a less than ideal audio environment (limted space and neighbors). That and I have a new hobby that will require some funding, namely a parachute since I took up skydiving :-)

Yea. I like his approach on his DIY stuff. (Zen etc.)
Little or no feedback. I've not heard his stuff but have
done some experiments with a super simple SS no feedback
amp and it is a world of differance compared to the normal
differential input high feedback SS circuit.......> since I took up skydiving :-)
Most transistor amps are OTLs, but nobody has applied the acronym to transistor amps since Radio Shack in the 70s. IOW "Its not a big deal unless you can do it with tubes."
