I've come to the realization that if I want a decent tube amp I'll have to be in the $2000 range. Unless I get a SET amp for the 2 planars I have

I preordered in November, so I gotta think mine should ship pretty close to first. And I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm guessing more delays unfortunately...

From the LTA website:
Pre-Order Production Status: Velo production will begin once we receive final production components and case parts from our suppliers. We will begin full production the week of April 8th, with pre-orders shipping in the order they were received.
Fingers crossed things start moving soon!

Has anyone been trying this with high impedance headphones? I did not see output impedance. I know tube difference matters. I heard this at axpona

Thanks. I only see planars being used these but I assume zmf headphones would be fine as well.I believe the output impedance is 1.1ohms
I think one of the more significant differences with the MZ3 is the absence of gain adjustment. Having said that, LTA has maintained its suitability with low impedance, high sensitivity headphones such as Grados and some IEMs even with stock tubes (12au7 tubes can be used to achieve lower gain alternatively). That's more than enough for me. For the asking price it's an acceptable compromise and the option to have the LPS later on gets this within my reach. Just waiting for initial feedback for the first owners which should come soon.
Im with ya. Because in that price range I'm looking at the kenzie, and this ampI think one of the more significant differences with the MZ3 is the absence of gain adjustment.
