TAL 200K OTA Review. Introductory Disclaimer: Before beginning, I feel obliged to inform the readers of this text that my views on high quality tube audio are mostly different and quite contrary to the "common knowledge and practice" that has come to be established on this topic. In my approach, I tend to keep a tidy, scientific engineering approach and I also strive to avoid "religious" attitudes that are also common in Hi-Fi world. EF86, triode connected.

TAL 200K OTA Review. TAL 200K OTA and its optical system are a large topic on their own, and are discussed on this page. The telescope as a whole is somewhat a typical Russian product, a unique mix of pros and cons:. The most important part of the system - the optics - is excellent. Overall build quality is sturdy and robust - Russian style. Upgrade friendly - initial build quality provides for enhancement and modification. Flexibility - can serve for many astronomical purposes other than visual observing.

Additionally, key concepts of its design that I consider important will be explained in detail as well. Newtonian telescope in the last column is not really practical to build, and is given for reference only. Schmidt-Cassegrain example is a close match to Celestron C8, Maksutov should be similar to Intes M703, and Ritchey-Chrétien 250mm ...
