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!
maybe the p in preamp should have been same as others but i quite like the second one size wise. nice boxes

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

For the first I would have 'Super Linear Phono Stage', not phono stage, unless you used 'super linear phono stage' - though I prefer the first.
For the second it should definitely be Preamp (perhaps Pre-Amp), not preamp. However, I also question why one is a Phono Stage and the other a Phono Preamp, they should both be called the same surely? Also, if you are going for black bolts I wouldn't use the shiny button but would use a black one instead (I know you can get that type in black as I used two for my turntable power supply).
