| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? Some folks like old tube amp sound because of the transformer distortion. You will not find such distortion in ZOTL amps. I can say that I have a very early version of the ZOTL40 and have had it upgraded with the latest “plus” mods. Early on there... | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k A Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 would pair nicely with those speakers but you might have go to the used market. | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Cerious Technologies Graphene Lumniscate Townshend F- 1 | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? I use this cheap version I got from Amazon: YUCHENGTECH Ionizing Air Blower Anti Static Ionizer Static Eliminator ESD Ionizer Static Elimination Fan Benchtop DC Type (110V) there is fan noise but I only use it between records. | |
| If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers TAD ME1 | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? The biggest bang for my buck was buying a Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL or MZ2. This high-quality headphone amp, preamp, and class A 1-watt power amp makes this the Swiss Army knife of Audio. | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? I heard the Wilson’s and later heard the LIPINSKI L700E Signature in the same room. Your amplification is already included with the Lipinski. The Wilson didn’t have a chance in this competition, my opinion of course. | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus Motorhead was ridiculously loud | |
| Some love for LTA customer service +1 yes, living in close proximity to LTA has its advantages but the customer service in general is top notch. The best I’ve experienced in my Audio journey. | |
| Are MULLARD NOS EL34s and LTA ZOTL40 REF worth the price of admission? I have to mention that the latest (+) plus mods are a very big improvement in sound. If you have an older ZOTL40 the cost of the plus mods are well worth the price and the bump is bigger than that of pricey NOS tubes. | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Little Known Great- Linear Power Supply Mark Schneider and the team at LTA know their way around a power supply. It all starts with David Berning. He is truly the Guru of tube amplification and the inventor of the ZOTL circuit, the first real change, or improvement in tube amplification... | |
| Centre channel for TAD ME-1 or Joseph Audio Pulsar graphene I'm not sure about which center channel to get but the TAD ME-1 are among the finest speakers for 2 channel that I've ever heard. I wish I hadn't sold them. You can't go wrong. | |
| Definitive Technology, Inc. I also had a pair I purchased in the early 90’s. I gave them to a friend, but if I were to sell them, I would probably ask maybe $200, maybe $300 bucks. | |
| Now that High Fidelity Cables is no longer, what cables are you upgrading to? I’m using a full loom of Cerious Tech Lumniscate Silver/Graphene cables and am having excellent results. | |
| Qobuz hell Quboz with Roon works great. I’m not getting rid of it. |
