Review: Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier @keithr Very cool! LTA is great gear and the company leadership is very unpretentious and responsive. While I don’t presently have any LTA gear, I wouldn’t hesitate to own it again. How are your new Fyne’s? | |
Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @atlanticstereo Nevermind, I just did a quick google search. You appear to have a fine business, congratulations. Your website lists that YOU ARE A DEALER for Steinway-Lyngdorf. | |

Why the hate for mcintosh amps? McIntosh is like Buick…its a fine vehicle, offends no one unless they are easily offended and the Asian market loves them disproportionately. In addition, people to whom a Buick is a high priced luxury vehicle, it is. I seem to recall that the nun... | |
What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices Well said @bob540 The art of the hobby on the tube side of things is to properly match the system. Obvious I know but there is alot of terrific sounding gear that doesn't require an esoteric tube set to sound exceptional. For instance, Audio Note ... | |
What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices I guess it depends more on your gear. What are you running and what sound qualities do you appreciate most? | |
What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices @mozartfan Fortunately, Tele 12au7’s aren’t the holy grail of the 12au7 family or nearly as coveted as Tele 12ax7’s. You shouldnt have to look too hard to equal or better their performance. | |
