Recently took ownership of this little beauty from NickFNA and i can say i'm pleased i snapped it up. Straight out the box is working very well with my Hotroded SL1200/Jelco and Pickering XV into my Aura intergrated in my Den rig. Now i'll be able to refit my Denon 103r +'The Cap' onto the turntable it was bought for. A few tweaks and the office paperwork should go much smoother:rolleyes:
Was a pleasure to do business with you Ian, and i'm glad you are enjoying the OTP,
it really is a cracking bit of kit.
I must admit they do punch way above their weight, mine can be switched between MM and MC, my mate also has one and his is MM only, I'd say it's much happier in MM mode and trying to run a low output MC is pushing it a bit, but then it's £100 or so, really amazing for the price.
i've just bought a new phono stage so my Firebottle OTP mk3 is surplus to requirement, i'll post it on the forum but i'd like to get an idea of what it's worth before i do, my thinking is about £120 to £150 or am i wrong?
OTP Mk 3? This looks like the ideal Christmas present from Mrs. P :)Quote:

What have you replaced it with, Mike?
I've gone and splurged on an EAT E-Glo Petite, lovely bit of kit.Quote:

That would be great Mike, I am seriously interested.
OPT MK2 is an excellent phono amp (I have one) so go for it.
As for the Mk3 - I was only aware of 2 of them in existence (one was only just built)?
Pop over and pick it up when you have a minute Steve, you're more than welcome to try it out in your system, i have put a listing in the classified section though so best not hang about if you're serious
