:::::Up for sale is the incredible EL34 based LTA ZOTL 40: The best of Tubes and Solid State combined. Designed for low and high efficiency speakers:::::

LTA amp in perfect cosmetic and operational condition. Used always at low to mid volumes, no scratches, nicks, dings or dents. I am the second owner and the unit is approximately 3 years old.

This is an upgraded LTA ZOTL 40. Unit was sent to LTA headquarters for upgrades to Reference Status by me. 4 Caps (Mundorf) and resistors were changed out (please view photos)

Tube Magic + Solid state detail
Traditional tube amps are known for their liquidity and linearity, but their “warmth” masks details and can sound thick. Solid state amplifiers give you that detail, but can be too “clinical.” Linear Tube Audio’s amplifiers give you the best of both worlds: beautiful tube tone with the clarity of solid state.

Premium components = premium sound
If you use cheap, generic parts, guess what kind of sound you’ll get? That’s why we use only premium, name-brand components. Belleson regulators. Ohno OCC wiring. Vishay Dale resistors. Mundorf caps. Typically, these are names you’ll only hear in amps that cost $10k or more.

Never buy another set of tubes
Most tube amplifiers run through tubes every 1,000-2,000 hours. That sounds like a lot until you consider that we estimate tube life for our amps to be in the 10,000-20,000 hour range. Why? Because we use ⅓ the current through the tubes, which results in lower heat and dramatically longer tube life.

Wanted a change for something different. I would keep it, but I just don't want extra equipment and need the funds for something else. It really is a great amp and from what I hear the most tube sounding of all the LTA amps.

cool -- this one has a volume pot... so it is in fact a single input integrated!

the newer ones in the broad flat case don't have that...

what power tubes are you including?

2 inputs...one input for the volume pot and the other is to bypass the volume pot.

Actually that's a great question :)
