FWIW,
LTA is having a 15% off sale for the month of November, iirc.
Sugden Masterclass LA4 vs LTA MicroZOTL
I have been looking for a preamp to pair with a Leben CS600.
Was looking primarily at tube based units in the 3-4 K price range. Also need a low profile. A friend loaned me his Sugden SS preamp which sounds suprisingly good. The other candidate is the LTA MicroZOTL which I have not had the opportunity to hear. I know this is a reach but wonder if anyone has heard these two preamps?
If so, can you compare them?
