Great experience with Linear Tube Audio

I ordered up an LTA MZ2 the other day but, before I pulled the trigger, I had some questions in regards to his amp and tubes/sonics etc.

Now I’ll be the first to admit a lot of my questions were very basic especially to someone as experienced as Mark is at LTA. My emails were all answered promptly and he explained everything to me in layman terms in a totally non condescending way.

But the coolest part is I gave them a call today to upgrade some tubes and change the shipping address. He wanted to see what the status was on my order. So while I’m still on the phone I hear him say "Hey, what’s the status on Jon’s amp?". The guys obviously sound like they’re in the same room and they’re testing my amp as we spoke. Not going to lie, some kind of man child excitement came over me. I can’t wait to receive it.

The folks at LTA, Mark, Will and the guys are great people. If they sounded like they were in the same room it’s because they probably were. Not a big place but a friendly and fun place to hang out. I stop in whenever I’m in the neighborhood and always welcomed.

Im using my MZ-2 as a preamp currently. I just got a set of 12SX7 tubes and they are the best sounding so far. I have tried numerous 6 and 12SN7 variants.

There is no difference in sound with 6 volt or 12 volt tubes.
