Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre


LTA has announced a version 3 of the MicroZOTL preamp. From their website, it sounds like a fairly significant upgrade. I reached out to them and they mentioned refinements in bass and the high end.

There is also an upgrade path for current MicroZOTL owners. Wanted to share for LTA owners and fans.

bluethinker I can be obsessive in trying to check all the boxes , LTA is just as obsessive in when they do come out with a upgrade it is a major one .

looking forwards to getting it sent out and getting it runin , this way too I can share exactly what changes I hear. I have 8 reference tracks I know very well . Now the wait and the breakin Patience sometimes is the hardest part !!

I think Shipping both ways is included as well as balanced Lundahl input transformers ,the Rays tubes add $480 I believe.

@audioman58 - I’m not able to do the upgrade myself for awhile. Will have to wait a few months, unfortunately. Please share your review with us after the LTA level 3 is in your system and run-in! 

Bluethinker  I will for sure give my comparisons I have a bunch of reference songs I know very well and wrote down highlights on each  and what to look for using my brothers Latest Gryphon Diablo latest model integrated  which is exceptional.

Does anyone have a firsthand experience comparing LTA pre-amp to PrimaLuna EVO 300 or 400 pre-amps?

In one setup I have PrimaLuna EVO 300 integrated with efficient Cube Audio speakers - and I am happy with them sonically but replacing the darn power tubes is no fun.

In another setup I have Pass Labs XA-25 power amp feeding rather demanding SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles - for this set I am looking for a tube pre-amp. LTA and EVO 300 are currently my top considerations.

Thanks in advance.
