Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre


LTA has announced a version 3 of the MicroZOTL preamp. From their website, it sounds like a fairly significant upgrade. I reached out to them and they mentioned refinements in bass and the high end.

There is also an upgrade path for current MicroZOTL owners. Wanted to share for LTA owners and fans.

@tkukielk - Unfortunately, I’ve not had the opportunity to hear the Primaluna. I’d suspect the pass XA-25 with the LTA would be spectacular though. 

I just upgraded to level 2. I found the upgrade was absolutely worth it. I’m going to wait for awhile but will upgrade when it makes sense in the future. I trust LTA. When they say it’s an upgrade, sign me up. Great company. 

@cbrez - Do you have any additional information - or anecdotal feedback - on what the level three upgrade will bring in regards to highs and bass? I wonder if they might have intimated any other details. 

@cbrez @sls883 @thriftyaudio -

Out of curiosity, are you using the LTA preamp with a solid state or tube amp? I’m using mine with a Conrad Johnson Classic 120 with EL 34 tubes. I’m always curious about other pairings. 

 

@thriftyaudio - I once tried to post my system but got hung up with technical glitches. Will try to get it posted over the next few months. I’ve been cycling through different components and am torn between two potential reference systems. 

@audioman58 - I've always sensed your enthusiasm for audio and music on the forum, so I’m happy things are resolved.

For anyone considering an LTA product, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Excellent product and customer service is top notch.

@audioman58 - I’m not able to do the upgrade myself for awhile. Will have to wait a few months, unfortunately. Please share your review with us after the LTA level 3 is in your system and run-in!
