I couldn’t find a used Linear Tube Audio Z40+ but did find an audio research i50, now looking to replace the tubes. 2025 >I’m thinking of Pure Audio Project Trio Classic Speakers and maybe my two year wait on a Decware amplifier will appear.
Houston I have a problem.

1 Dynaudio Confidence 20 stand mount speakers which replaced Elac Adante AF-61 towers.

2 Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier which replaced a McIntosh MA6500 Integrated Amplifier.

3 Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 CD transport which replaced an Audiolab CDT6000 transport. 

4 Shunyata Hydra Triton power conditioner which replaced a Fuhrman Elite 15PFI.

5 Solidsteel HF5 audio rack which replaced a Salamander Archetype rack.

6 GIK Acoustics corner bass traps.

 I did a major overhaul of my system in 2024 and finally arrived at my “End Game” system, at least for now 😁. 

Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL level 2 preamp and Gustard X30 dac.

Also a clock, ddc, and various cables, but the preamp and dac were the biggest improvements. 

1.  Aurender n150 

2.  Mcintosh c2700 tube preamp.
