| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I heard them Meta today when I was visiting Russ Katz and I was amazed at how much better they sound than the LS50. | |
| I may need to join A'gon Anonymous (AA) just remember one new amplifier is too much and a thousand is never enough. | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? I’ve had quite a bit of gear come and go but my Janszen zA2.1 have remained and will always. The best electrostatic sound in a WAF friendly package. | |
| Never Used -- in Sealed Box I did this only once. I purchased an Oppo 205, one of the last in fact to use in a bedroom system. I soon changed my mind on the setup for this room and went in a different direction. I never opened the box and I already had a Modwright 205 in ano... | |
| Raven Osprey vs LTA Ultralinear I have not heard the Raven Osprey but I have owned the LTA UL and I don’t believe any other tube amp made can beat out the Ultralinear when it comes to control of low frequency and I mean the bass is as good as any solid state amp ive heard. I onl... | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier I just got my Micro ZOTL preamp back from LTA. They put in the latest caps and power supply upgrades so I’m not so sure the Coda pre will beat it. I do love my Coda #16 amp and the the Micro ZOTL pre works beautifully with it. | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Linear Tube Audio (David Berning’s) designs. Very low heat and long tube life. | |
| Which SS amplifier has similar sound as the LTA amplifiers?.... @davidantonio There is no SS amp in your price range that can match an LTA offering. My CODA #16 comes closest but at 13K. My ZOTL40 is a care free, maintenance free amp. The tubes in it will probably outlast me. I would check out the used market. | |

| Best 40 to 50k used speakers I just listened to the Alsyvox I Maryland and thought it was spectacular. It has real bass. At that same location I listened to the GamuT RS3i and the RS5i. I think this is it for me. Next stop Gamut. He will take my TAD ME-1 as a trade + $. I do ... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL. The Swiss Army knife of Audio. | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker GamuT and Janszen | |
| LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance? My UltraLinear produced bass that was comparable to the very best solid state. I feel the UL and ZOTL40 are very similar in sound but the UL has a slight edge in bass quality and a very powerful 20 watts. In the end I kept the ZOTL40 because I nee... | |
| I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino +3 on the Coda. I will put my No. 16 up against anything out there. | |
| Notes on a LTA Z10 with phono stage I experienced a similar experience going from Decware to Linear Tube Audio amps. There is a large gap between the two. While waiting for a new stand alone LTA Phono preamp, I have borrowed a prototype phono pre and it sounds outstanding. |
