| 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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks guys, I will report back tonight. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The DI SE is in the house. Since today is my 20 year wedding anniversary I will wait until tomorrow to unpack and start playing if I know what’s good for me. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables Yes, lets hear from some newbies. I'm quiet because i'm completely satisfied with the sound of my system. I will never say never anymore but right now I no longer feel a need to try out new cables. | |
| Sophia EL34-ST Tubes I agree with @cellcbern , they sound better than any other new production tube in my LTA ZOTL40 and I even prefer them over my NOS Mullard EL34 FX2. I have never owned a 300B amp so can’t compare but these tubes are the real deal. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @djtunes, I heard the DIs in a similar size room at Linear Tube Audio. They sounded good. | |
| Tube Preamps..... @parsons,That is high praise and I completely agree. The MZ2 can compete with preamps at 10x the cost. I am now very curious about the new Micro ZOTL Preamp that was just shown at Axpona for the first time. Unlike the MZ2 which is a Swiss Army kni... |
