Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre

@bluethinker Regarding any additional information, LTA mentioned the following:

notably more refined with a quieter noise level and an easy, free flowing presentation

This in addition to the refinements in bass and top end.

I also am using a Pass XA25. I think it is a marvelous amplifier and it sounds wonderful IMO with my Dynaudio speakers.

I too am going to wait before committing to the Version 3 upgrade.  I’ve been very happy with Version 2 with the 6SN7 tube upgrade.  I’m currently running the MicroZOTL pre with a Simaudio Moon 860v2 SS amp and it is a great combination.  
 

BTW, I agree that LTA is a good company and very open and trustworthy.  They have the best Customer Service I’ve experienced with audio firms. 👍🏻

@sls883 ​In your opinion, is there a lot lost by using coda   with the RCA connection?​​​​​​

@paoz I don't think so, but I'm not able to do any comparisons. My amp sits directly beneath my preamp, so distance is not an issue

I've tried several interconnects (nothing too pricey) and find the Black Cat Silverstar 88 to work really well. 

Too bad no balanced outputs are offered.
