The first review on the Linear tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has gone up

My review on the superlative Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has gone up on hometheaterreview.com.  I hope very much anyone that is looking for one of the best tube based preamplifiers, regardless of price, takes a look at the details of way, in my opinion, this David Berning based line-stage would bring your system to another level of overall performance.  Because of LTA's policy, you could hear it in your own system and in anyway you are not satisfied you have a 30 day return timeline.  I purchased my review sample and am extremely happy I did because of what this preamplifier brings to my system.

Thanks for the great review Terry. I am currently using Pass HPA1 as preamp with XA25 as I am also a headphone user. How would you describe the difference between the HPA1 vs the MicroZOTL preamp?

teajay,
Did you test the preamp with or without the Linear Power Supply?

@facten,  There is no out board PS. All in one unit and by far superior to the MZ2 with linear PS.

I asked because this is stated under specs for this preamp

" Power Supply Input: Auto-switching 100V / 120V / 220 / 240V operation or linear supply user-switchable between 110/120 and 220/240 (contact us if in need of a 100V linear supply) "

very nice review teajay! for me, one of the best features about the MZ2 is the ability to remove my decware amp from the chain and hookup my very efficient omega high output speakers right into the pre amp. for a late night (sometime all night) listening session, that combo is hard to beat!
