about the audio note oto
The OTO is a modern day classic amplifier. It was launched back in 1992, and it continues to beguile, amaze, and sneak into the hearts of owners for its sheer beauty at replaying recorded material.
All versions of the Oto are available with or without phono stage. It comes with either a silver aluminium or black acrylic fascia. Simplicity remains throughout the functionality of the OTO. It comes with four knobs on the front for Input Selection, Balance, Volume and Power.

There are three main versions of the OTO available:
-
Audio Note OTO PP (Push Pull)
-
Audio Note OTO SE (Single Ended)
-
Audio Note OTO SE Signature
OTO PP (Push-Pull): Class A, push-pull, EL84 based, 12 watt pentode amplifier. It is an excellent entry point to begin one’s journey into the world of Audio Note.
OTO SE: Single-ended, EL 84 based, 10 watt integrated amp. The best amplifier value in the Audio Note line. Likely designed with the Audio Note K’s in mind, it also makes a wonderful match with the 93dB J’s. The OTO is satisfyingly full, dynamic, and clear, sounding and wonderfully informative through the midrange
OTO SE Signature: Single-ended, EL84 based, 10 watt integrated amp. The wonderful Signature version of the classic OTO SE. The OTO SE Signature is both more robust and smoother sounding than the standard OTO SE. The Signature version has higher quality parts including resistors, capacitors and wiring.

The Oto was first released in 1991. It’s longevity is testament to it’s design quality and the same amp can still be bought today almost 30 years later! One of the reasons for its success is the fact that Audio Note are unique in the way they design and manufacture their own hand wound transformers, foil capacitors and even their own solder themselves! All of which can be found in the Oto.
There simply isn’t another Hi-Fi company in the world that spend the time, money or energy on such attention to detail with their design and hand-built production, and when it comes to listening to music, it shows!
review.
A glorious combination of leading edge attack and full-bodied decay with astonishing bass depth and a grain-free open treble reproduction is what you get in the Audio Note world and the OTO doesn’t leave you out in the cold. The OTO has a beauty of tone, timbre, and a full-bodied enveloping sound that makes it difficult to resist on any music program.
The price of entry into the Audio Note single-ended world, and for the rewards you will get from this amp, it is nothing short of a steal. Audio Note is a company dedicated to music reproduction and while the OTO may not look like much against some of the ritzy glitzy competition, the music reproduction here should not be overlooked. This is a first-rate, well-built, classy-sounding amplifier.
