NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
@boukman , im not sure if you saw Bobs post From a few days ago:”I am now staring at a Matrix power cord wrapped neatly around a 4" in diameter (2" radius) cylinder. This is very flexible. I think the problem is that customers need the cables to k...

@jl35 , yes, Bob said there is no direction and what lak said. 
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
@ozzy ,Not to worry, the CT Matrix cables are superior sounding in my system.

@jzzmn88 , the differences between the ZOTL40 and the UltraLinear besides a power difference is very small when I’ve compare them using my Janszen zA2.1 electrostats speakers. The ZOTL40 pairs extremely well with Stats but the synergy doesn’t show... 
David Berning Quadrature Z or Vitus SS-101
@nicknick , funny thing, I also own the Plinius SA103 and the ZOTL40 sounds better to my ears. The Berning Amps with its built in redundant protection circuitry is almost fool proof. Sure you still will need tube occasionally but not as often as o...

I have owned David Berning’s ZH230 and now own several Linear Tube Audio amps (David Berning designed) and can say these are probably the most reliable OTL types ever made. I would suggest you try the LTA ZOTL40 to use with your Maggie’s. Get them...

Hi my name is Lance and I’m a tube-aholic. Welcome to the group. 
Getting into tubes
@jzzmn88 , I did own the Berning ZH-230 and sold it after I bought the ZOTL40 because I have many quads of EL34 tubes to roll and the ZH-230 used TV sweep tubes. The ZH-230 and ZOTL40 sound similar until you put some NOS Mullards in the ZOTL40 and...

I have auditioned the Primaluna and owned the ZMA for a few years. The ZMA in my opinion sounds better than the Primaluna and they don’t get any sturdier or better built than the ZMA, maybe that’s why they have a life time warranty. The bias adjus...

@jay23 , I enjoyed correspondence with Bob a few days ago. He doesn’t monitor this forum everyday and I know he’s very busy but I’m sure he will get back to you.

@toetapaudio, @yoby summed it up well. I would add the Matrix is a little more natural sounding. I only have the older versions of the Sablon cables for comparison though.

@toetapaudio,  I have the Sablon Grand Corona and Petite Corona. I prefer the Matrix over those on all components. 
Review: Linear Tube Audio (LTA) "Ultralinear" Amplifier
@weebeesdad , I can confirm that the synergy with the MZ2 is outstanding. I don’t currently own another preamp for comparison but the MZ2 is so good with the UltraLinear I’m changing a thing.
