| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? I have the MZ pre, ZOTL40 and use Janszen zA2.1 hybrid electrostats. This is the ultimate in synergy and yes the ZOTL40 can power electrostats to glorious levels. | |
| Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products) @audioquest4life I ordered my cables on December 3rd. I was told that the holidays had an impact but other than that I would get a notice when they shipped. If I were to describe the sound, I could only say that there is a complete lack of a so... | |
| Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products) My F1 speaker cables arrived yesterday. That makes my wait about 5 weeks. They sound very good right away. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @tomlhuffman I own both preamps now and I feel that the LTA MicroZOTL preamp with the most recent "plus" mods is superior to the Coda FET 07x preamp by a pretty good margin. The one advantage is the Coda has balanced in and out. Not to take away ... | |
| Which amp to use with Linear Tube Audio pre? The LTA preamps are a perfect match with their amps. The owner of LTA (Mark Schneider) uses Maggie’s at home with ZOTL40 and pre. Plenty of power. | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? @charcoalchuck , One of the reasons I chose it was that there is no modification. https://www.integrityhifi.ca/tru-lift | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? I installed a TRU-GLIDER PENDULUM FLOATING TONEARM on my SL1200GAE and it’s incredible. | |
| 30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire Mark Schneider, owner of Linear Tube Audio uses a single ZOTL40 to power his Maggie’s. I’ve heard them in his home and the synergy is spectacular. | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables I ordered my F-1 speaker cables about 5 weeks ago and hoping they ship soon. I can’t wait to hear what these cables can do. I will report on the results. RIP Max. | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy I mentioned AGD and I would also like to mention Linear Tube Audio to match or exceed anything from Pass. | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy Again, the AGD Audion mono blocks are very light with no heat and class D or not these are the best amps I’ve owned. Just for reference I also own the Coda #16. Lance | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems I mentioned how much I like the DS GM cartridge. My previous carts that it bested was an Ortofon Century and before that was a Top Wing Blue Dragon. As @saburo commented the DS is a “major disrupter” and on the level of Tesla to the automotive in... | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems I too love the DS cartridge. It is not bright and the bass is the best I’ve ever heard from vinyl. This cart just sounds natural to me. I can say this because I own the Grand Master. @mijostyn , There many good and bad cartridge’s out there but I... | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems I agree with @pindac , I enjoy meeting with my fellow enthusiasts. The sharing of ideas has caused me to spend more money, ha ha. https://dchifi.group/ | |
| Preamp shootout: Linear tube audio, Modwright, etc. @markhh2 +1 for the MZ2. It might just be the biggest bang for the buck in audio. |
