| Having guarantee issues with KR Audio? I have a five month old pair of KR T-100 tubes in my Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT. I’m getting noise from one tube. There is a month left on the six month warranty. I emailed BEST300B.com and have not heard from them yet. Has anyone else had reliability i... | |
| Linear Tube ZOTL Amps vs other top (traditional) tube amplifiers When I got my first Berning designed amp (ZH230) I immediately noticed a lack of transformer grunge that I didn’t even realize was there before and I had a rather expensive transformer type amp. at the time. The clarity from the lack of noise was ... | |

| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? If you like your speakers get a pair of ZOTL40’s to use as mono blocks. I use one ZOTL40 to power my 86 db efficient Janszen hybrid electrostatics. These amps seem much more powerful than the 40 watts and they sound like they were made for ESL’s. ... | |

| 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. |
