Not a lot of amps can do what this one does (can't think of any!):
  • TOTL estats amplification (perfect for Stax)
  • Excellent headphones amp for both planar and dynamic (amazing synergy with Focal, Final and ZMF), can even drive the Susvara from the speakers taps really well.
  • Speaker amp for high sensitivity setups including subwoofer out and can preamp active setups too
How would I describe the LTA house sound?
Clean with excellent speed and separation. The stage has good depth and holographic elements to it. Natural amazing timbre and great dynamics for both macro and micro.

The build is an immaculate, two component design with the newest LPS+ by LTA.
It has 10 tubes inside - NOS two 12AT7s, four 12AU7s, and four EL84s.

Warranty is transferable and it's only a few months old.

Frankly, I think z10e beats the pants off of bhse for basicaly every can except og 009 (and even then it still wins, just not my multiple tiers). Well better detail, stage placement, image clarity, and speed. Feel about equal bass wise which I know is a concern for people use to bhse. My first time hearing z10e basicaly made me go "oh, well guess I never need to think about bhse again" tbh

That's a strong endorsement, especially when factoring in how the Z10e also has what is supposedly quite a competent head amp for non-stats, too. Part of me wishes I waited on this rather than hop on the BHSE, although I have definitely enjoyed the 007mk1 + BHSE combo a lot so far.

It's truly a great piece. There are almost no amps that drive estats, dynamic / planar headphones, and high efficiency speakers. It drives both the X9K and the Sus well. Not sure how many amps can claim that. Beyond the power stage the preamp is killer.
