The VZN-100 is a fine sounding amp, no two doubts about it, when it comes to OTL's, there is no other way for them to sound :)I too come from a recording/mixing live music back ground but real and recorded music are two different things, we are correct to the recording.
Absolutely, some things can be improved/changed for the listener with added niceties but not all recorded venues or in all systems! So it all comes down to taste and how you feel your music should sound like, the recording or what you think the recording should sound like, subjective I guess!
Do you use Vinyl?

I haven't in a long while, but I have a VPI Scoutmaster on order that should be here in a couple of weeks. I'm pairing it with a Benz M2 to start and am really looking forward to it.
Ahhhhhhhh :)..... Vinyl, God bless you!
Put me down for real. I have the Joule LA 100 - Cardas Golden Cross - VZN 100 - Merlin VSM setup. I have had it for 5 years and it still sounds wonderful. "Juicy" as they say at Merlin. When people come visit, they can't believe how good it sounds. The only downside is that is is fiddly and generates heat. But if you can get over that, it is great. I bought if from a guy who did not like the heat, but I am not nearly ready to trade with him for his high dollar 300B/Avant Garde setup. My wife loves it, too, variac and all.
