Sorry, new OTL amps aren't finished yet. I'll just be bringing the AMB linestage with me this year, could bring the Transcendent 15W OTL again if anyone's interested but it's been heard a couple of times before. We'll do the full system next year.
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

I am planning to bring my 41MP pre and lm3886 despite reservations about the latter. Fed from SBTouch, DIY DAC with tx output, and my Zingali speakers.

Would be nice to compare the LM3886 against a good solid state power amp to determine if the pre is any good, and if it is worth persevering with a solid state power amp.

Which day are you coming ?
Just wondering if you could dig out that extension shaft/coupling for potentiometer.
I'm there on Sat PM .

I'm only there Saturday and wasn't going to bring anything as I haven't built much for a while, but I did build Salas' Simplistic Folded phono and DCG3 preamp (from DIYAudio) last year. I can put them in the car if anyone's interested in hearing them?

They sound pretty good to me but it would be interesting to compare them to other stuff. They are absolutely not valve though.
