    I thought it might be interesting to see if any of the gurus out there could identify it first (not including those who I have told of course). Maybe one for Lee or Dean?

    Tell you what though, it's bloody good!

    Well done Tenson. What sort do you think?

    WM - I will say it's surprisingly fast, it will certainly confuse some flatties!

    It appears to have a surprising number of transformers in the signal path. Good.

    There's only two Markus - and they are the tiny little squares at the back. The larger two oblongs are not trannies ;-)

    Well I think Markus knows and is being ironic! Come on guys - what's different about the circuit? Clue. It's a 75wpc power amplifier.

    It's got Hal-O tube dampers fitted, I was thinking about getting some of them.

    A Zero-Hysteresis amplifier?

    Does that mean that if you don't like it you can't send it back?

    Hi,

    Michael is correct. Interesting looking amp. I have never heard one but have heard a few OTL in the past.
