Does OTL pre-amplifier exist?

The amplifier in my second system is the Atmasphere S-30. It is an OTL amplifier. I enjoy its openness and speed. That brings me to this question. Does an OTL pre-amplifier exist? If it does, who are making such pre-amplifier?

Thanks in advance and happy listening.

The Sonic Frontiers preamps have cap-coupled outputs to my knowledge.

The only tube preamps with direct coupled outputs are the Atma-Sphere (line stage or with phono) and the Messenger, which is single-ended.

IIRC there is a direct coupled version of the Cary SLP-98 available from Upscale Audio. I think it is called the F1.
