FYI, we have just posted a page offering a 10% discount when you buy both a preamp and a power amp together.

I'm posting about this here before anywhere else to give our AC friends a head start.

During a recent inventory check, we found some face plates that have minor blemishes on them. We are offering these in build-to-order units at a discount. That is, the audio board, power board, wiring, and all other parts will be brand new and built for you after you order. The only difference between these units and a "normal" one are the minor blemishes shown below.

Here's what we have:

3 x microZOTL Preamp - Price: $4,000 (Retail: $4,450) - add $300 for balanced input transformer upgrade
1 x Z10/Ultralinear/Z40 Integrated amp - Z10 Price: $4,400 (Retail: $4,900) // Ultralinear or Z40 Price: $6,800 (Retail: $7,650)

Here are photos of the front plates so you can see their condition. Each photo is a separate front plate.

Email me at nicholas@lineartubeaudio.com if you're interested. These will be posted on our website soon, so grab them before they are released to the general public.

Hope everyone out there is doing well and taking care of themselves - and others!

An interview I did with Ron at New Record Day was posted over the weekend, and it got such a good reception that I am posting it here.

Meet the Manufacturer - A conversation with LTA's Nicholas Tolson: https://youtu.be/Aowd-9KGQVc

Ron also recently reviewed the MZ3 and Ultralinear. Here are those links as well:

Hello all. As before, I hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected given the current situation.

I'm here with some more LTA-related Youtube links that I hope will at least be a distraction from all of the bad news out there. I hope you come away having learned something...

1) We've started a Youtube channel, and our first interview was with Clayton Shaw of Spatial Audio. It's long, but worth a watch if you're info open baffle speakers or want to learn more about them: https://youtu.be/vYHjNc3kWAQ

2) We followed that up with a recording of a live event I did with David Solomon of Qobuz. He's a great guy and this was a really fun conversation. Again, very long, but put it on in the background and have a listen: https://youtu.be/E3fDf2mG-DQ

3) If the MZ3 has been on your shopping list, you might want to check out this review from NBT on Youtube: https://youtu.be/L8nwQRx6NSg

More videos to come on our channel. If you have any ideas or suggestions or requests, I'm all ears. Coming this week is an interview I did with Lou from Daedalus Audio, another AC supporter. We'll be posting new videos weekly (at least), so subscribe to get them all: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM_4zHesnAIK_yH6qm18ssw/

Thanks and be safe...

It's been a while since we posted here, But I have a feeling you're going to want to read this one...

We weren't going to have a sale this year, but then we figured... of all years this is a year we need good news and something to smile about.

So, we are celebrating saying GOODBYE to 2020 with some GOOD BUYS on LTA amps!

Use the code GOODBUY2020 to receive a 10% discount on any amp listed on this page (which is basically all of our amps): https://www.lineartubeaudio.com/goodbye-2020-sale

This isn't getting announced publicly until next week to give the AC community a chance to get in before the rush...
