I have Bluesound streamers for convenience of a single interface because I have three systems between home and office. I also like that they are small and can be hidden to reduce clutter. I would also be interested in opinions on sources into the Aero, my local shop is high on a Margules...

I bit the bullet as well. Looking forward to re-creating my experience demoing the naked unit and a Z10e at LTA last year. Let's keep their staff busy fulfilling orders!

I have been using the Z10e exclusively with headphones but recently got a pair of Omega V8 HO monitors based on LTA and Omega recommendations for pairing with the Z10e. I have them set up close to the floor with wedges like a Klipsch Heresy or JBL L100 and boy what a great pairing and much...

On offer is a Woo Audio WA6se 2nd Addition in excellent used shape. I use it in my office with Sennheiser HD650 and it sounds great. I will include the Woo Audio adapters in the photo to convert 13EM7 to 13DE7. I will also include the following tubes with the amp: 2 - NOS Sylvania 13EM7...

I think you hit the nail on the head with different vs better. I used to use a SRM-007t/SR-007MK2/Sr-009 for many years obsessing over EQ, and DIY tweaks but found the Z10e/X9000 at Canjam and fell in love with the synergy of these two exceptionally engineered music makers. I reached my moment...

FWIW, I use a MZ3 as a preamp with a Z40+ and it is a super sweet combo that I cannot imagine will be bettered in my system. Maybe if you can find a used Z40+ like I did, you could keep your options open.

Veering back to the thread, I did listen to the Aero with the Z10e and Dan Clark Corina, ZU Soul and Daedalus at LTA HQ. Hard to separate the DAC from the rest of the chain but the headphone experience was excellent and made it a hard decision between the Corina and X9000 which boiled down to a...

The Z10e and X9000 synergy is apparent in the bass (as you note) extension and texture is something that I expected based on my experience with other headphones (and speakers) but the Z10e really balances the X9000 perfectly for me. I have also listened the CRBN, Corina, SR-007MK2, SR-009S on...

LTA website says full production starting this week, I am waiting on my slush fund to recover after a splurge on a Stax SR-X9000. The Aero with my Z10e/X9000 will be Nirvana. I hope proper reviews are out soon and sales are strong for LTA. On a related note, what source components has LTA been...

Like new Stax extension cable 5m long. Used a couple of times but too long for my current setup so I purchased a shorter one. Will ship to USA addresses only via USPS Small Flat rate box. Paypal and shipping is included at asking price.

I was able to listen to the DAC prototype last month at LTA paired with a Z10e and Zu Soul speakers before attending a conference in DC. I thought it had an excellent 3D presentation and imaging with a very dynamic presentation. Also listened with Dan Clark Corina electrostatic headphones and...

I had an extended listening session on a LCD-5 on the MZ3 and it sounds great. I was primarily interested in the headphones at the time and they has multiple amps to test out the Audeze phones. I ultimately chose the MM-500 over the LCD-5 as I thought it was more balanced and fulfilled my...

Thanks for your response, figured out the sub outs. I decided to jump on the Z10e bandwagon by picking up a used unit and wowee what a great product. I was using it with a Stax SR-009 until it developed the dreaded driver imbalance. I was comparing it to my older SRM-007t energizer and there...

Jack Johnson's in-house recordings are always top notch.

Has anyone tried rolling the tubes in their Z10? I am primarily looking for a crisp top end and holographic soundstage. The tone of my stock tubes (Reflector, CEI, BEL, Sylvania) is good but overall presentation is slightly muted vs MZ3. LTA suggested Philips or Mullard EL84 with Philiips 12AU7.
