Question for Linear Tube Audio Mz2 Owners @emil I have two Micro ZOTLs. I will most likely sell one of them when I purchase the new Microzotl Preamp that will be available in a few weeks. | |
Question for Linear Tube Audio Mz2 Owners The upgraded power supply definitely sounds better. I have 2 of them. | |
Review: Linear Tube Audio (LTA) "Ultralinear" Amplifier In my room the UltraLinear is the best amp I’ve ever heard.I am now beta testing the new LTA Micrzotl Preamp and it is proving itself to even better than the MZ2. | |
Tube Preamps..... The MZ2 adds nothing detrimental to the sound except dynamics and added soundstage size. It is a clear conduit otherwise. I agree that it’s the best preamp I’ve owned, much better than my AI Modulus.I am testing the new Micro ZOTL Preamp now and i... | |
Linear Tube Audio at Axpona @baranyi Mark said about 4 weeks for production models to go out. | |
Linear Tube Audio at Axpona @baranyi MicroZOTL Preamp vs MZ2 The same house sound just more of it. The new preamp has a wider, more clearly defined sound stage and more sparkle at the top. The bass is just a bit more real sounding. There is smoothness, a little smoother with... | |
Linear Tube Audio at Axpona @franklin I have a pair of Decware ERRx radial speakers and I was surprised at how loud the one watt of the MZ2 would go. If you haven’t tried it then power the HR-1s with the MZ2 just to hear what it can do. The quality of the sound is amazing.I ... | |
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? The Sophia Electric 274B is definitely superior to the Phillips in my rig. | |
Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? I too have traded up to the DI SE now breaking in and the sound is so sweet.@kdude66 ,you should have kept those Janszens. As much as I enjoyed the DIs, they never were quite on the same level as the Janszen zA2.1 hybrid electrostats. They are re... | |
Linear Tube Audio at Axpona OK, After a visit to LTA today I left with a preproduction MicroZOTL Preamp. I only have a few days before I have to return it but After only a few minutes I can say it clearly superior to my MZ2. This is killing me. Now I’m going have to buy one.... | |
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Linear Tube Audio MZ2 with the upgraded power supply is around $1800. In my opinion it is the best bargain in Audio. | |
Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten I bought the carpet spikes that go with the GAIAs. | |
Tekton Double Impacts I have added a few pics to my system page.The outriggers because they are so tall and I worry about them accidently getting knocked over.The IsoAcoustics GAIA because I believe in isolation and have had good experience with such products in the pa... | |
Tekton Double Impacts @corelli,I made a deal with Eric early on to swap them. When I called him originally Iminquired about the DI SE and they were not ready so he offered to trade them in when they were available.I will get some more pics on the page. It’s also really... | |
Tekton Double Impacts OK, they sound great right out of the box and I can also tell they need a little breakin. There is a little brightness that I’m sure will subside. I think that the UltraLinear will be a good fit. The UL brings out the bass in a spectacular way. Th... |
