I have two versions planned:Anyways SonicTrance can you post the specific details of the "Oblivion" as compared to the other versions you have planned?
Oblivion: SE input stage (RCA input) and balanced LTP output stage
Citadel: LTP input stage (XLR input) and LTP output stage.
The main difference is the input stage. Both amps will have regulated B+ and B-, gyrator plate loads, CCS tails (Oblivion only in output stage as input stage use grid bias)
Citadel will rule out any “imperfections” the SE input stage brings. Those “imperfections” may not be bad though, that’s up to the listener and personal preference. Citadel will sound cleaner than Oblivion.
Both amps will have optional speaker outputs.
