| 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. | |
| Looking for recommendation for a 3 way book shelf speaker with very good bass. TAD ME-1, it doesn't get much better in a 3 way book shelf. Spectacular bass. | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System I was forced to down size my 2 channel into the same room with my HT. I sold off all HT gear and went strictly 2 channel for TV and music. I added a swarm (4 subs) setup and this really helped fill out the sound stage. I love movies even better no... | |
| Need New 2 Channel System for under 25K Start with a Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER and a pair of Janszen zA2.1 Valentina speakers. Add your favorite CD player or DAC. This combo is the definition of synergy. | |
| Basement listing room I also have my listening room in the basement. I would suggest 4 subs (swarm) setup. I have 4 subs from Gingko Audio and more amazing than the bass output is the sound stage it creates, and even better in a big listening space. | |
| LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance? I can’t speak highly enough about LTA. David Berning’s designs are genius and Mark Schneider has brought them to another level not to mention bringing these amps more affordably to the masses. These are great guys to buy from. They stand behind th... | |
| LTA Microzotl Preamp It certainly is incredible. I can’t think of anything in its price range that can touch it. |
