    Not surprised, the OTO in standard guise is fabulous, not yet heard the OTO signature.

    Agreed.. dangerous places for the wallet!

    I could have easily lived with the standard OTO. If only i hadn't requested to listen to the Signature...

    No way i'm ever going to ask to hear the high end stuff though!

    Yeah, OK, so we all shout for what we know so with that in mind I'm shouting for Prima Luna because since 1997 I have used mainly valves and my current amps walk the bloody floor with all of my past ventures. I have a Prologue 3 preamp with phono stage and a Dialogue Premium power amp. These amplifiers are exceptionally well made with a sound to match the stunning quality. Yes, they cost a bit, so do others but these amplifiers are the best I have yet come across for the amount they cost. EL34 or KT88 powered the sound is the best I have yet heard. I do have to say though that in my system they definitely favour vinyl replay. In terms of build quality the pre weighs in at 9kg with the power being 30kg. You get what you pay for. There is no way these are flimsy tin boxes. If you are anywhere near me give me a shout and we'll listen with whisky. All the very best in your quest.

    If those Prima Luna Amps sound as fabulous they look your'e onto a winner! Whisky and valve amps.. mmm. Bit of a Whisky fan here too. Just back from a distillery tour of Speyside!

    Hey Paul... Funny. I know what you mean. Will post pics when it looks good! The amp is on my crappy old Hifi Stand and my local dealer (Hifi that is;-)) is coming around to tweak my setup (i.e sell me some expensive cables!). Will post a pic after that!
