A friend of mine sells New York Audio Labs (Futterman Output Transformer less) power amps and he has an OTL-1 in his room (4 cabinets 250lbs $10000 5000W regulated supply for EACH channel) this must be the cleanest, best sounding amp I have ever heard I have a HK Citation II and Citation V and I just love the accuracy, I am made ill by a lot of the new innovations and gimmicks these days...They had the designs right 20 years ago (just the sources weren't good then) final note: my ideal system source : linn+linn arm+adcom pre : Conrad-Johnson P1 power : OTL-1 speakers : Quels (stacked Quad ESL63's) (twist my arm -> ENTEC sub) ~$25000 Cheers.
