Wished I'd logged on earlier when he was present. The wait overnight is gonna kill me - curiosity killed the night cat?

Toooooobes!
 
With the kitchen project wrapping up, I'm looking forward to some alone time with the OTL and my W3000s. Or T1s...hmm...

Beautiful amp, well done Glenn.

I am guessing 6SSN driver, 3DG4 rectifier, 6AS7G output tubes.

Very nice amp, Glenn
I noticed a bigger case.

 
The person I built it for wanted it to look similar to the one I built for rosgr63.
So it used the same chassis the difference is I used a flat R core transformer that went under the
chassis in rosgr63's amp for the long trip to Europe. And rosgr63's amp has two B4 sockets for
Marconi LP-2 tubes. That can be used in place of the 6sn7 as far as I know nobody else has
these nice looking tubes other then rosgr63. 
 
The fact that the new power transformer is larger may lead to all future OTL amps being made in this
larger chassis. I haven't looked if it will fit in the smaller chassis even though I have a few to use up.

Well done, sir! That you feel it's your best sounding, this is at once exciting and pleasing to hear. What type of amp is it? What we really wanna know

 is who is that build for?

 
The amp is electrically the same as yours except the power transformer is from a different vendor with a 115/230 primary.
This way I can use the same transformer if the amp is fore here or Europe.
This transformer is the same price that I was originally paying before the vendor I was using tripled the price
 
By the way the amp is fore dminches

Nope. It is for my collections of headphones. I am very excited to get this beauty in my hands.

This is my first amp that uses 2399s/5998s/6ASG7s. Thanks to xcalibur for his work with Glenn on parts of the design.
