About New York Audio Laboratories

New York Audio Laboratories (NYAL) was a pioneering American high-end audio brand founded in the early 1980s and led by Harvey Rosenberg. NYAL became renowned for introducing the Moscode series—groundbreaking hybrid tube/MOSFET amplifiers and preamps—and for producing the Futterman OTL-1, one of the most celebrated output transformerless (OTL) tube amplifiers. Their products, including the Super IT phono preamp and Moscode 150, 300, and 600 amplifiers, were designed to combine the warmth of tubes with the power and reliability of solid-state electronics. NYAL's innovative, at times whimsical, engineering philosophy and their limited-run, high-performance components made them cult favorites among audiophiles seeking both technical excellence and unique sonic character. NYAL ceased operations in the 1990s, but its products remain highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts.
