Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre

Hey, this is Will from LTA. audioman58 already posted the most relevant part of our email exchange, but I would be happy to share more of it or answer any questions about the development and timing of the Level 3, the cost of the upgrade, his discounted upgrade cost, or any other relevant subject.

We try to develop and release things in ways that will reduce customer annoyance, but we cannot please everyone. I also believe strongly in being transparent and straightforward in my communication, so it is disappointing that audioman58 continues to believe that he is being deceived. I hope he is able to continue to enjoy his Level 2 preamp, which remains a product that we take pride in.

Yesterday I was livid that I didnot. Make the mk3 upgrade 

mark called me personally and went over the Very extensive upgrades the 

state of the art ceramic boards alone are 8x more monies and the new layout  magnitudes less distortion . And well worth the upgrade cost . Even a new soft start to dramatically save on Tube life and 80k in capacitance upgrade is like with a Amplifier well over $120 uf for dynamic swings . They are paying shipping and insurances both ways ,I send my preamp back in 10 days . I will run it in myself 

with my Isotek runin cd , LSA maybe small But Mark and Co make a great product 

and have integrity .myself a hot head at times Audiophiles too  can be  hard to deal with myself included .

Signing in to say LTA has been fantastic to deal with from day 1. Their customer service and communication has been stellar. Love my Aero DAC and patiently looking forward to the mk3.

Glad to hear the above customer was taken care of. Not surprising really. 

@audioman58 - I've always sensed your enthusiasm for audio and music on the forum, so I’m happy things are resolved.

For anyone considering an LTA product, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Excellent product and customer service is top notch.

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 !!
