| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? I almost Forgot. I removed my ZOTL40 and installed the UltraLinear in my listening room powering my 87db Janszen zA2.1 speakers. I can’t believe the 20 watts can power these speakers this way. Im listening as loud as I like and not close to clippi... | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? @zek4u im sure it will be quite a bit more than the MZ2. I will stop in again within the next couple of weeks and ask Mark about the MC option. I’m interested in MC as well. Mark did say the David Berning designed phono stage will be very good. | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? @admranger I was at LTA recently and saw the stand alone preamp prototype sitting on the work bench. It’s a full size Fern and Robey built case. It has a ceramic board and optional phono stage. Mark didn’t say when a production model will be avai... | |

| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @genjamon , I have not heard the GC II but compared to the GC the Matrix is more natural, effortless, dynamic and real sounding. I’m not saying the GC isn’t good because it’s very good but the Matrix is spectacular. | |
| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor @noble100 , that’s exactly how I’m running my 205 and works great. The 2 channel using XLRs direct to amp is very good. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables And don’t forget the interconnects. The Matrix is a huge step up. Much better than the Teo I had. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @gwng8 , sometimes they are slow responding yet they always do. This is a small company dealing with huge demand. They are very busy and believe me its worth the wait. | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric @atacgene, I do stand by my opinion about the Modwright Oppo besting the DS DAC and I may be realizing that I prefer the sound of PCM over DSD. I’m not putting down the DS DAC. It still sounds good in my second system but I like the energy of the ... | |
| David Berning Quadrature Z or Vitus SS-101 @nicknick , congrats on the purchase. I recently went to a friends home for a Saturday of listening and what do you know David Berning came over and brought the Quad Z monos with him. Wow! They sounded good. What sweet power and control. I don’t t... | |
| Review: Linear Tube Audio (LTA) "Ultralinear" Amplifier Hi guys, since I have heard both Quad Z and UL Amps I can say they have a similar Berning house sound even though I have not heard them driving the exact same speakers. Personally I think the UL is every bit as good if not better. Of course the Qu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks Joe for an enjoyable visit. I can hardly wait for the DI SE myself.Lance | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric @atacgene, Just for kicks I removed my PS Audio DS DAC and replaced it with the Modwright Oppo 205 from my HT. I’m a bit surprised but I prefer the Modwright Oppo over the DS DAC. There is more dynamic impact and just as much detail with the Oppo.... | |
| Sophia Electric New EL34 tubes I was going to start a new thread and then I saw this one. I bought the new blue bottle EL34 ST.OK, I just got my tubes in from Sophia Electric and have maybe 10 hours on them. Richard from SE talked me into trying the EL34 tubes. I told him I jus... |
