I am looking for the Transcendent Sound T16 OTL Amp Schematic and or Manual.
Contacted TS and Bruce expressed no interest in my request.
Thanks

Don't know about the T16. But he published a schematic for an 80 Watt/25 Watt OTL (that uses JJ EL509 output tubes) in his book Audio Reality.
Thanks have the book. T16 uses the 6C19N-B triode, have a bunch NOS and want to make good use of them. The EL509 it too expensive and from what I have read is prone to failures.
OTL SCHEMATICS
I bought a faulty T16, someone tried to repair it, there are disconnected some wires. I think it's worth repairing even though it's maybe more than 10 years old. I have almost all the new lamps. Maybe who has a copy of the diagram?
Help me please!

Bruce's book
Thanks a lot for a quick repay. Maybe there is an address for who is selling a particular book?
Hi bOTL,
There is no need to buy the book, there is no drawing of T16 - only SOB and 300B SE OTL, I had the book ( tubes and circuits ) but resold due to low amount of projects comparing to the price.
Also - very important - Bruce copyrighted the design with US Patent so you may be potentially braking the law - that's way nobody is giving away original drawings...

Patents mean disclosure. So here is the patent https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/8d/b1/05/ec43c5c01126a0/US5604461.pdf
Kestutis: Take a lot of pictures of the amplifier. Perhaps we can crowd source a schematic here.

The schematics
Hello,
Grateful for the effort to help, I had this schematics diagram only without a description, it will be thoughts and maybe I will find matching solutions.

I don't see anything "novel", not easily developed by someone educated in the arts, or otherwise meeting requirement for a defensible patent in that filing. Then again, it takes money to challenge a patent.
Hi,
I had a look on T16, it had 5 PCB's under neat, so almost no P2P soldering, it would be difficult to trace back connections from photos, especially power supply pcb...
Have a look at this link: Transcendent T16 OTL amplfier.

... I mean, there are hundreds of individuals in the past to attempt a go at making output transformerless tube amps. Very few were successful and is the only reason the vast majority of tube amps utilize an output transformer.
Yeah that is just completely obvious. Your appeal to ridicule and ad hominem retort clearly show your superior intellect.
This is a specialty market to be sure, but there are companies that make a go of it. Transcendent Sound is one, and Atma-Sphere is another with a large selection of OTL amps. Take a look here.
