Jeez guys, No members have heard or bought the ST A75 amplifier? It would be great if any owners would share their experience with it. Teajay  
The Galion Audio TS A75 amplifier: Great amplifier for very little money
Hey Guys, The review on the Galion Audio ST A75 amplifier just went live on the Stereo Times website tonight. It gives all the details explaining why I'm making the A75 the bargain amplifier for 2024. Teajay  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey brbrock, I know that LTA uses high quality internal parts in all their products. If you want precisely to know what companies parts they use just call Nicholas at LTA and he will give you all that information. Teajay  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey Don, The Aero sounds great being driven by a Coax/SPDIF cable. Start with your Rotel as a transport with a good SPDIF cable and I'm sure you will be very pleased. Then you could later on add a dedicated transport and better digital cable. Rem... 
Has anybody had experience with Jena Labs Haldi AES-EBU digital cable
Hey markusthenaiment, Jennifer sent me the Njord for review after I had received the outstanding and amazing Haldi cable. Totally agree, it's Freaking Amazing! I'll be writing reviews on both cables in the near future. How does your Valkyrie com... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey soix, Totally agree with you, if Don likes AZ cables, the AZ MC2 would be a great addition. Of course CD transports make a difference regarding the performance of the DAC they are driving. I consider myself some what of a connoisseur regardi... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey Don, Remember the Aero uses a chip nicknamed the "analog" DAC. Two of my closet friends who are die hard analog listeners, with excellent vinyl rigs, love the LTA Aero because it has an ease, overall warmth, and relaxation often associated wi... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey markmuse, The Rockna is another fine DAC. I reviewed it a few years back. However, it’s more expensive then the LTA Aero, but I would rather have the Aero based on its presentation of music. A virtue of the Rockna is that it's volume control ...

Hey tksteingraber, LTA has been shipping for close to a couple of months already. The wait time is about two weeks. Teajay  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey dandion, I had a brief listening session awhile back with the Aqua Scala DAC, quite good, and yes, the LTA Aero DAC have a lot of musicality and sonic characteristics that are similar. If you like the much more expensive DAC you surely would ...

Hey mm1tt77, Yes, I believe that the Coda 07x preamp with the LTA Aero DAC would be one beautiful combo! The 07x is one of my favorite SS preamplifiers and teaming it with the Aero would render a terrific musical presentation. Teajay  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey mitch2, Of all the 6SN7s I have in my collection the TungSol black glass/round plates have always been my favorites for three reasons: 1) The air and spatiality they create is really very remarkable. 2) The beauty of timbres/colors is very pr... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey jetter, Yes, the Pass Labs DAC-1 is about that old. Mine was re-capped by Pass Labs  and is in pristine condition. The only reason that Pass Labs stopped manufacturing the DAC-1 was the unavailability of the great Burr-Brown PCM-(K)63 chips. ... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey phill55, It's been awhile since I reviewed the Audio Mirror Tubadour DAC, which is a wonderful musical sounding DAC. My hunch would be that the LTA Aero will be more dynamic and resolving with more pristine tonality, but not losing the sense ...
