  Play around with my new toy but I focus it on the transformer instead tubes.  

 

Nice picture

Beautiful pic, man.
 
I have ordered Glenn's OTL and I am so stoked to hear it with my PS Audio Nuwave Dac & HD800.......I wish I could just time warp past christmas this year, so I could get my amp  

 
I guess, it will give me time to figure out what balanced headphone cable to get.
 
Again, love that pic.

You don't need balanced cable for Glenn's amp.  a 1/4th cable will sound the same.

It's just a jack...you can spend your cable money on pizza and tequila...

Sorry to hear it SO.
I wanted to cheer up so it was reggae this week, Bob Marley-Legend, The Jolly Boys, Eddy Grant, etc
 

Negative. I was sick a lot though and didnt eat much. I am finally better since last friday

 
Sorry to hear it Lieven, I hope you are fine now.

My kind of thinking, pure and simple like a silver cable.......

My understanding is that the 4-pin is just at the connector level. Functionality wise, it is the same as the 1/4" plug, and is more for a convenience thing if nothing else. 
 
Glenn did explain why he didn't think there would be any major benefits to going balanced, which was very helpful and honest. I do appreciate it over the usual marketing terms that companies do to convince you to go balanced.

The 4-pin is there so you can invite your friends with balanced cans over and show them how much better your 'unbalanced' OTL is!
You can serve them pizza and tequila.

So unless you already have cans that have a balanced cable, there is no use of getting the 4 pin XLR connector as there are no benefits, what so ever.....am I correct ?

Yes...it's so you can use cans that have a balanced cable.
The signal is not balanced.

Thanks for clearing that up.

The XLR connector has two separate  ground wires that go to the main star ground.
So no cross talk in the ground wire.

Hey Stavros, are you going?

Hi Lieven, no I don't think so.
