The LTA Zotl40 Reference + is one of the best amps I've listened to. Period

Love that Kevin got serial number 0001 on that beast of an amp!

LTA does Zotl technology and they are well thought of. I’ve listened to the Z40+ integrated amp and thought it was great

Transcendent Sound Kits are the most startling pre-amp/power amplification devices I ever listened to. Used to build Class A, MOSFET,(TO 3 package), Hitachi, output device, amps from circuit boards furnished by Old Colony/Audio Amateur. Bias current was 4 amps with multitiered power supplies, 375,000 uf, double bypassed, filter Capacitance for the unregulated output stage. The input and driver stage, tightly regulated at 100 Milliamps. 4 Toroids/amp. The two OTL amps from Transcendent Sound kits, one the T-16, monoblocs, Class AB, running 16, 6C19PI, Russian, miniature triodes/channel, designed as Voltage regulators in Soviet military avionics systems, > 5000 hr lifespan. Tubes cost me $2.05 each delivered, before the current conflict from Tubesstore, Russia. The second amp, the Mini Beast, a single ended, Class A, OTL, running 3 JJ Electronics EL 509's/channel. For serious listening, OTLs have addicted me.

If ZOTL is doing it wrong, I’m not sure I want to be right.

I’m going to go for the Euphoria this week. I think that my AKG headphones might be subpar for it, but baby steps.

Quick question if I may. Does it generate quite a bit of heat? I will be sitting next to it and the weather is hot enough as it is already. Thank you.

What are ya’lls thoughts on using these OTL units as pre amps? Been having unbelievable results with an intergraded Dialogue premium intergraded and a Darkvoice OTL as a pre amp Better bass More air Much wider and taller imaging and soundstage No added noice at all. ( good burned in 6sn7 GE NOS )

Over the years I've found running a 16 ohm cab on the 8 ohm tap sounds better on my Marshalls. And I use the 25ft speaker cable trick I learned from Ken Fischer 👍🎸

He lost all credibility when at 4:30 he dismissed ZOTL amplifier technology. He doesn't seem to understand it or be prepared to assess it fully. I have an LTA ZOTL amplifier and it sounds great, and is also lighter, smaller and more efficient than most tube amplifiers.

I Don't know what he's talking about. He starts out talking about frequency bandwidth. Even the least expensive modern day solid state amps have a flat frequency response of 20hz. to 20 khz. The absolute frequency range of human hearing. Then he says power doesn't mean anything. What kind of drug is this guy on?
