Review: Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier
I am interested in the XA25 as well as the ZOTL40 and wonder what the general sonic differences are? Wish LTA made a more powerful integrated. 
Pass Labs XA25 vs LTA ZOTL40 -- Which creates a greater sense of image palpability?
Has anyone compared these two wonderful amps? 
Help with crossover capacitors
I would stick with the original values. Easy to do. Don’t accept 7-10% variance! Order your caps matched within 1% for right and left speaker. Don’t buy Dayton. If you don’t want to spend much, then get Clarity CSA 250v. They have a 3uf. For the 6...

I was talking about me and my obsessive tendency that comes out at times. Many Aphiles have some of this trait. We can and should own how that may be difficult, in aggregate, for sellers of high end audio gear. Sorry to hear about your experiences.

Perhaps some of us Aphiles with our own unique set of personality flaws are enough to make any great designer a tad bit grumpy at times.  Seems reasonable and likely 🙂 
Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
Oh my, everything matters in digital audio front ends. Everything. It all makes a sonic difference from ethernet cables to LAN switches to DC power supplies and on and on....We are dealing with many things including noise and timing issues. 
Spica Angelus
That Idecco is fine.  I saw a Nova 125SE for $575 on Audio Mart.  Also good.  I run tubes and the Peachtree on my TC50s and find the Peachtree a better match. Your Angelus are a tad easier to drive than my 50s however. I still think the Peachtree ... 
Spica Angelus
I own the TC50s. I upgraded them pretty dramatically...see my virtual systems.  The Spica line likes power. They seem to really match well with nice Class D amps. Peachtree Nova 150 or 300 are a great match for this brand of speakers. They come al... 
The Frankensteining of Amplifiers
There is more than one way to great sound. Buying and selling is not for me anymore. Far too much hassle and cost. Those of us with solid DIY skills and experience know how greatly we can improve upon a nice sounding piece of gear.  We know becaus... 
The Frankensteining of Amplifiers
No worries PC is a known and good modifier. Parts were not replaced willy nilly. The unit will sound better than stock. Well done and thought out upgrades always improve the sound of gear. The original units didn't use these better parts as they h... 
Head-ups for fans of AricAudio designs. His new Super 211 SET two chassis amplifier
Too early for pics on the site it seems. Love to see pics inside the chassis as few amps today are point to point wired. Most are circuit boards. I much prefer the sound and build quality of real point to point built tube gear. Many are works of a...
