Nope I’m not familiar with Octave Research OR1. I heard about Andy Rapapport but I never heard or have seen his amps. My thinking about all of this has littler rational and even less experience. I would never think about SS but the phenomenal success with Placette buffer make me to extend some credit to SS. The Zarathustra’s prototype was interesting. I run it on Kharma 3,2 and Wilson Alexandria and it demonstrated some great potential. From my perspectives it had some issues but none of them related to what usually attributed to SS amplifiers. In the new complete Zarathustra version will be done a LOT to take care about temperature it it will be very different amp, much more advanced. We in fact will be able to drive the output stage in the chosen my us temperature. We juts do not know which temperature to target and how it will affect sound. I feel it will be a lot of listing, testing and interpretations before Zarathustra will be complete…
