Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?
In this system I'm using Decware ERRx radial speakers (very good Omni speakers for the price)http://www.decware.com/newsite/ERR.htmlI will eventually move things around and try a set of Monitor Audio GX300's I have. 
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?
T_ramey, the Micro ZOTL2 plays very well with the Job 225.  The clarity and detail of the Micro as a preamp is astounding. It seems to add no sonic character of its own. Maybe I've never heard a 10K preamp but I've never heard heard anything this ...

It's apparently been sent on a slow boat. It should be delivered today. 
Question about new Oppo 4K player
I would think not. I believe the only difference between the two is the DAC chips.

t_ramey,yes, the remote control feature should be available by the end of the year or maybe January? Better to check with them.  I live close by so I hang out there occasionally and I saw the prototype.The new MZ2-S will soon have a switch on the ...

I picked up a Job 225 here on Agon. I will let you know how they do together. Although I've heard the Job 225 can be picky when it comes to the pre it's paired with.i have tried the Micro ZOTL with other tube amps and it's good but the synergy bet... 
What SS preamp compares to a tube preamp
Linear tube Audio's Micro ZOTL2 MZ2-S, using David Berning designs. This preamp might be the biggest bang for the buck and best kept secret in audio. Definitely the best preamp I've ever owned.http://www.lineartubeaudio.com/products/mz2-s 
Are there any active DC area audio groups/clubs/etc ? (I am in Reston)

Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
benlzy, the speaker cables made the biggest difference. After some break-in of course, the first obvious change, I noticed more, deeper, tighter bass. It left me scratching my head. I know the cables can't create more bass but instead they reveale... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
I had the Triode Wire Labs American speaker cables and can safely say that the CT SC's are light years ahead in SQ. Nothing against TWL but just can't keep up with CT. 
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?
I just got back from a D.C. HiFi Group meeting. They had the ZOTL10 and Micro ZOTL preamp with Fern & Robey speakers and turntable. The sound was very good.i am very happy with the ZOTL40 driving my Janszen zA2.1 speakers. I don't See it getti... 
Been "Gone" 10 Years...What Have I Missed?
Look at a new company called Linear Tube Audio. It is now possible to buy an amp designed by David Berning at a reasonable price. If you can get away with low wattage tube gear you won't be sorry. To be honest this stuff won't win a beauty contest... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
I'm very happy with all of the CT cables I've bought. If anyone isn't sure, and wants to do some more research before jumping on Bobs band wagon, all of my Morrow cables are up for sale. 
Adding second system for vinyl within a Home Theater environment
My second system is a basement HT setup that quickly doubles as 2 channel audio. My Oppo 105D works very well with 5.1 channel audio/video but when I press a button on the remote to access my networked audio it automatically only uses the front 2 ... 
Monitor Audio
I have the 300 Gold, they sound great and has a huge sound stage with plenty of bass. I wish I could comment on the bronze.
