SET vs OTL

I don't really understand where the comparison of SET and OTL amplifiers really takes a person. there are members of this site who have owned Atmasphere or Joule OTLs and subsequently moved on to a SET amplifier.  Conversely there have been SET amplifier owners Who subsequently moved to an OTL.  This traffic clearly moves in both directions, there are simply many variables involved not the least of which is personal preference and taste. Various brands of OTL amplifiers sound differently, same is true for different brands of SET amplifiers. Change the brand of the output tube, again more variables and different sound, on and on it goes.

There is no definitive way to say one topology is superior to the other. Either can sound fantastic, or just okay. Design, The builder's talent and implementation tell the story.
charles,

Ralph,Bruce has it and probably a lot of DIY OTL.
Charles,If ever there is a fest,we could find a way to A-B things out..

OTL of course is way better than any SE.

if only you could design your own OTL,then you can say this is better.
