Really enjoy the sound and build quality of Linear Tube Audio (LTA) equipment built in Tacoma Park, MD. The equipment features David Berning's Zero hysteresis Output Transformer-Less patented technology (ZOTL). As well, it is always a pleasure to talk with, learn from and discuss high fidelity with owner Mark Schneider. In my over 50 years as an audiophile, LTA was the first tube equipment I ever bought. The LTA equipment is purely about music without thought of is it solid-state or tube.
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Not so much with sound...lots of ways to fine tune thru tube rolling, etc. I'm just curious which tube amps are built to last for many years with the least amount of repairs. I know Mcintosh comes to mind for longevity. I was snooping around on the web and Air Tight seems to be built like a tank and I've never read any poor repair histories. Luxman same thing. Any others come to mind?
