Zotl, no as it is not a power amp.
Though there are no signal transformers used.
Looking very nice Alan, I should like to try the OTP phono stage. especially as Oli is so impressed with it.
How does it compare to the Vivant which is 4 times the price?
Main system : VPI Scout 1.1 / JMW 9T / 2M Black / Croft 25R+ / Croft 7 / Heco Celan GT 702
Second System : Goldring Lenco GL75 / AT95EX / Pioneer SX590 / Spendor SP2
Having heard both quite extensively,The Vivant and OTP shouldn't have a 4x difference in price. The Vivant is better though and even though its £1100, it really is very good value for money. You can hear the directional movement of a bow on the Vivant very easily. I am not sure how this is even possible. It's there on the OTP MK2 but just not quite as pronounced.
I can bring my OTP over when i get to hear your lovely VPI Scout and Croft gear!
I think that they look pretty smart, agree that they look better than the other Vivant style.
