Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre

@thriftyaudio - I once tried to post my system but got hung up with technical glitches. Will try to get it posted over the next few months. I’ve been cycling through different components and am torn between two potential reference systems. 

With the balanced Lundahl transformers is always a plus .

I just bought mine last month , They knew 1000% while building my pre ,why didn’t they at least offer me the upgrade option ,that was not very good ,not very ethical imo , and to be honest having the very high grade Lundahl input transformers is always a plus ,another $2 k ,  I bought their best tube setup ,and then got rid of the older Mullards for the far superior Medical grade Red top Telefunken 12au7 $500 a pair but well worth the detail and transparency.

@audioman58 That is strange.  I would be very frustrated as well.  I bought mine used and it is about 2 years old, so I can't be too upset. 

With the right tubes, it sounds great.  I doubt that I will upgrade mine.  Maybe if it was $1000, or so, but not $2k.  I just can't imagine that it's that much better...

You will not believe the answer I received from LTA , they purposely deceived me 

as being the absolute latest , they said it was a spur of the moment thing 

a blatant Lie, lots of months previously  had to be planned drawings circuit boards testing at least 6 months previously , I waited 6 weeks after the holidays 

I would have gladly waited another month ,and for onky $200 difference 

to have any integrity ,I should have been at least given the option . 
they just wanted to use up older parts ,it’s still a very good preamp  but the new one much better still , considering I have bought 3 pieces of electronics from them and referred others to them integrity and loyalty is That  too much too ask , ? What’s next I would be blamed if it stopped working .

I am very dissapointing  if that is their response just pass the Buck , I will sell it and never do business with them ,that was very unprofessional , and a very underhanded thing to do .I am almost 67;and I told them this would be my end game preamp . I will let you know if they do the right thing ,or not ,and send you their answer why they didnot let me know .

@wrm57 LTA has never offered truly balanced gear. It was just transformers to make it compatible. Not sure how big of a deal it is though.
