Introducing My System

[Thundersnow]

I'm fascinated you say that a hybrid OTL is close to indistinguishable from one of the most powerful SETs out there.
I get that it's the same designer.
But no-one's ever "confused" (lol) an OTL for a SET before.
Even more so, a hybrid.

I may have misread your comment.

Anyway, you can read my sound impressions of the amps in one of the earlier posts.

Introducing My System

Really enjoying this discussion as Nat Magma Ms are on order for my system. So, in addition to now wondering about these NAT Symbiosis New - first I've heard of these, gotta ask Mike, I'm also a bit concerned/quesitoning the approach that Nat uses to bias and manage tube life in his amps. To be...

Cheers

I had a NAT single ended hybrid (which was also OTL) in the past and while it sounded very interesting, it didn’t sound like a SET or an OTL.
