| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades Not on the front of the unit. There may be something on the back - I don’t recall. Unfortunately getting out of my rack to check is not the easiest of operations. | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades @troutstreamnm Enjoy! I continue to be incredibly impressed. There really is more “there, there”! And while mine has settled in, it has taken a bit of time in my system. | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades @sls883 Tube rolling in the LTA definitely has a noticeable impact. I have had to change some tubes around, but am using medical grade Telefunkenkens for the inputs and currently Sylvania 6SN7s on the output. All from Brent Jesse. One other thing... | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades Got my Level 3 upgrade back last week. It did need a bit of break in within my system. First off - the immediacy. The Level 2 might have been a little bit laid back, but the Level 3 takes care of that. It is fast and very dynamic. This is the rea... | |
| Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects? I started my journey on higher end ICs with Iconoclast TPC interconnects. Great value for the money. I used them on source components and from pre to amplifier. They were a huge step up from the sub $100 ICs I was using at the time. I wanted to u... | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades I sent mine in a couple of weeks ago. Heard they were working on it several days after. LTA is doing a one week or so bench burn in after they do the actual upgrades. I don’t have a ship date yet on the return, but hoping it is soon. Happy to let ... | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades Thank you @audioman58 for the write up. I’ve also been in queue to send my Level 2 in for a number of weeks and just sent it out yesterday. Really looking forward to hearing the improvements you talk about. | |
| Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre I do use the MicroZOTL with a Pass XA25 on a pair of Dynaudio Heritage Specials. I think it is a great combination - very musical, dynamic, engaging. I have not heard the PrimaLuna to compare. Also very glad LTA worked things out with @audioman58... | |
| 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 ... | |
| Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre I took the leap. I also really trust LTA and have been a huge David Berning fan since I heard some of his gear many moons ago. There is currently a backlog on the updates and I told LTA I would wait a bit until they worked through that before I s... | |
| Any comments on Presto Music Streaming Services? @hgeifman Presto is focused on albums, definitely not playlists. Just my taste of course, but when I listen to classical and jazz, I typically listen by album, so it works for me. I do like their focus on introducing new albums and how I can find ... | |
| Any comments on Presto Music Streaming Services? I am a fan of the streaming service. I’ve used it for over a year. The Bluesound integration is one of the only reasons I still use a Node as my streamer. I like their music organization, their music notes, and I find it really easy to discover m... | |
| Presto Music Tsuyoshi Yamamoto hi res download Didn’t know Tsuyoshi, but listening now and really liking it. Thank you! And a definite shoutout for Presto Music. I have subscribed to their streaming service for over a year. It’s the main reason I have not upgraded my streamer from a Bluesound... | |
| For Weiss 204 DAC owners - ModWright has an LPS @bluethinker Thanks for reaching out. In my system, the Weiss has never been forward sounding. It is resolving without any brightness, open, and musical. I have not done comparisons with other DACs in this range, but I can attest to be very please... | |
| Pure Silver Wire Good cable design has many different elements as mentioned. Just talking about silver vs copper is part of this picture. I’ve recently been using both Zenwave all silver ICs (latest version of the D4) and power cables. These cables use OCC silver ... |
