Sugden Masterclass LA4 vs LTA MicroZOTL


I have been looking for a preamp to pair with a Leben CS600.

Was looking primarily at tube based units in the 3-4 K price range.  Also need a low profile.  A friend loaned me his Sugden SS preamp which sounds suprisingly good.   The other candidate is the LTA MicroZOTL which I have not had the opportunity to hear.  I know this is a reach but wonder if anyone has heard these two preamps?

If so, can you compare them?

I very much like 6sn7 tube preamps and these seem well built and from a reliable, talented maker: http://aricaudio.com/tube_gear.php

I too like another brand but mentioning it DOES NOT answer your questions. Good luck to you.
