Seems like a great price for what it is. I'd like to hear one.

White,
Circlotron is another way of saying 'Output Transformerless'(OTL).Correct? :scratch2:

Myself,if I lived in the US I'd look at one of the Transcendent Sound OTL kits.

If you get the Lithuanian amp,please tell us how it sounds. :thmbsp:

I was just looking at that yesterday...especially interesting because I'm Lithuanian! Couldn't find any info about it, though!

Thanks for that link.Because I have seen Circlotron associated with OTL,I assumed it was an OTL technique.
