It's all about what your ears hear when you are listening. I couldn't care less about how something measures, I care about how it sounds when I play music. The crack I had was probably a horribly measuring amp with the Ananda, but to my ears it sounded wonderful.

I want to buy a tube amp but I don't think I would be too happy with hybrids, that of course don't have issues with planars. I was considering the little dot 1+ or the little bear b4-x because as hybrids they match well with Ananda, but if you got her to shine with the OTL crack I am interested how! Thanks for your review!
