Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?


I recently was told by another member about Linear Tube Audio as they are using David Berning's designs (approved by David) and are made in the USA.  The Micro ZOTL 2.0 pre has just received great reviews and they also offer the ZOTL 40 and ZOTL 10 amps.  I would really like to get some feedback from someone that owns the pre and one of the amps.  Thanks!

Their preamp my brother bought and has several units 3x as much thst are not as good. 
And their Lps+:external power supply is incredible. 
It takes the Very good D-1  Lumin digital  12-13v external power supply and makes it exceed their T-1  3x the money. The ps and get the better wire harness, 
And replace fuses the 2 fuses. 1.6 fast blow 20mm Hifi tuning.  The synergistic 
Can be too rich .in a ps you want the neutrality. $700 retail .The preamp ask for a bigger case and ,Khozmo shunt attenuator 63 step with relay,and remote 
Around $2600 with extras . 
New huge Linear Tube Audio, David Berning fan in Texas. Had it all and favorites so far, Harbeth/Croft separates, Harbeth/LFD NCSE, Harbeth/Naim SN2, Leben/Devore. I was waiting for my Harbeth 30.1s to get repaired and got into headphones to keep me happy - Sennheiser HD800S. Mistake. Unreal with a Violectric V280 and V281. I then tried to merge the headphone system into the near field desktop rig and wanted the best performance of both worlds. It’s worse than trying to do good 2-channel with an AV system. I didn’t want anything huge sitting on my beautiful desk like a PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP or Manley Stingray II tube Integrated. Violectric V281 was great but wasn’t completely happy with the 2 channel side using its pre-outs or the AV pass through on the Belles. I moved on from Harbeth P3ESRs at this point because I wanted to lose the mid bass hump. My research of great headphone amps that also act as great preamps led me to the LTA MZ2. I was a little scared that the MZ2 wouldn’t kick the HD800S headphones into gear being their bass can be a little lightweight. I also wanted to maintain dynamics, soundstage and nuance. Well so far, I haven't been disappointed with the MZ2 one bit. I know you guys hate hearing this but it really seems like the best of tubes and solid state.

Now moving on to 2-channel. MZ2 with the Z10 has blown me away with my newly acquired Proac Tablette 10 speakers that only require a minimum of 5 watts. The guy I bought the Z10 from had the tubes messed up pretty bad. Now have all Gold Lions in the MZ2 and Z10. WOW! Still using a Tung-Sol 6SN7 GTB in the MZ2 as Gold Lion doesn't make that one yet. Seems perfectly fine. My old Chord 2Qute DAC is working out great with this rig. Timbre, instruments truly sound like what they are supposed to sound like in every recording, such beautiful tonal color and balance. Vocals sound the best I’ve ever heard, Stacey Kent, Norah Jones and Brandi Carlile. Rock sounds amazing, Radiohead, Spoon, you name it. Transients like leading edge sound much more realistic now that I got the Tung-Sol 2AT7/ 12AU7 and cheap Russian tubes out of the Z10. Sound stage placement also got more defined without any fatigue. Tonal balance, perfect. So happy. Who thought I could have the best of both worlds in one system, headphone and 2-channel. Maybe I can now concentrate on the music.

Awesome review!  Agree with every word. 
The records of Cecile McLorin Salvant have been in my Music Direct wish list for a while. The redbook of Woman Child blew my crazy audiophile friend away with the MZ2/Z10. Wait until he hears it on vinyl. 
Heard the LTA with Rethm loudspeakers at the NYC audio show this past autumn.

They sounded marvelous, and easily ranked as the best I heard in an otherwise extremely poor show
