Kvtaco17 Thanks for showing the OTL at the Minneapolis meet.
It seems to have been liked overall.
Looks like you were running 5998s for outputs nice choice.

 

[kvtaco17]

Oh its no problem... It's my main rig, so it got showcased. I ran my set of 5998's cuz most people wanted to hear the HD800's with it.. Later on I swapped yo a pair of 6336's and ran some grados and even the lcd2.

How did it drive the LCD-2s ?

 

[kvtaco17]

Very well... it had very good control of the driver and sounded good. No muddiness or distortion at all. While something like the Taboo MK3 sounds better with the LCD2, it's not so huge of a difference that I would have to own both amps (though I will get one eventually)

kvtaco17 does your OTL have the 6AS7 / 5998 switch ? If yes , I assume you ran the LCD's with 6336's on 5998 position. What Rec + Driver combination sounds best with the 6336 in your opinion for LCD's ?

I asked kvtaco17 if he had the 5998 mod or the 12/25 switch and he said he did not.
 
You may want to confirm that with him, however.
 
I think I want both in my amp

I honestly didn't spend enough time with them to change any tubes around much... I ran my mullard gz32 rectifier, tung-sol 6336 graphite plate, and a tung-sol vt231/6SN7 round plate...

Yup I don't have that switch, BUT I may go ahead and get it eventually...

5998 mod; 12/25 switch: get 'em now so you can get out of your amp's way.

It'll be a second amp in black...

Punit's amp in black is a little larger chassis then the one with the silver front
 
You should go for the 300B amp with Lundahl transformers. In black of course.

This past Saturday night, I attended the monthly Greenhaus Music Night @ Pitch Perfect Audio in Hollywood. Matt is a terrific host and had on hand a wide variety of wines and other beverages, cheese, nuts and good music. Despite having several records on hand, he encourages us to bring records from home to share. I brought some AFROBEAT (The legendary Tony Allen, Fela Kuti ect) and others brought some Marvin Gaye, Sun Ra, other Jazz, Electronica and so on. 
 
Will likely return this coming Saturday night after his last appointment and share a bit of wine, music and convo with him briefly. His studio is located on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood just 1 block west of N. Gower St. So, what's so remarkable about the location? you ask. Well, just 4 blocks up @ Sunset & Gower is this place: 

 

 
Honey and I will head over after we leave Matt's. I don't eat chicken - but "#7 Natalie's Special" awaits, 2 Waffles and then I'll have 2 glasses of milk to go widit!
