I don't want to sound like I am in the least bit attempting to contadict anything Joe is saying here,he is the designer of the Twinhead.I happen to think the Twinhead sounded very good driving the K1000 to sane volume levels.It never sounded strained or like it was working really hard playing the Mobile Fidelity Allman Brothers "Live at The Filmore" or the Sonny Rollins disc I used to audition it at CES.I will freely admit that the OTL32 sounded more dynamic and had more slam but lacked the sweet midrange that only the 2A3 tubes of the Twinhead can provide.Joe is being modest about the capabilities of the Twinhead.I said it then and I'll repeat it now,The Twinhead MarkII is the very best standalone tubed headamp I have heard.Joe need'nt offer any excuses for this one.It his masterpiece headamp and will certainly be the measure by which all others are judged.This is taking into account only the performance as a headamp.The preamp performance is even more amazing.I say couple this preamp with an amp such as the 2A3 powered Tulip that I am using or one of ASL's other great loudspeaker amps and solve your amp/preamp problems for life.I have been in love with the Tulip and Twinhead since first hearing them both.
