A Low Voltage Vacuum Tube OTL Audio Amplifier

In this episode, we revisit the low voltage audio amplifier that we built many, many moons ago. This time though, we’re making one critical change – we’re eliminating the output transformers! That’s right, OTL amplifiers usually use hundreds of volts, but we’re going to attempt to build one at just 48V, and the results are surprisingly good!
