RARE JULIUS FUTTERMAN OTL-1 Transformerless Mono Tube Amplifier Pair Built by New York Audio Lab Audio Classics, Ltd. These amplifiers need servicing and are being sold As-Is for repair/restoration. Serial Number 2403 Sound output is distorted. May be a tube issue. SN 2401 sounds good until about 30 watts is reached,… then distortion sets in. Cosmetically there are multiple scratches. Most of the top plate machine screws are missing. Below is a basic description of the OTL-1 from the Stereophile review published in 1986: ‘The Futterman OTL-1 is NYAL’s attempt to build the best tube amplifier in the world (footnote 2). Its designer has attempted to minimize the problems an output transformerless design encounters in coping with low impedance loads. The Futterman OTL-1 can provide 150W into a 16 ohm load, 65W into an 8 ohm load, and 35W into a 4 ohm load; it’s effectively current-limited into loads below 16 ohms, but this is nevertheless an extraordinary amount of power for an OTL amplifier. Its ability to deliver the clarity of a transformerless amplifier into an unusually wide range of loads is enhanced by an extraordinarily large, regulated B+ power supply’ Thanks for looking.
