Linear Tube Audio Microzotl Preamplifier
After years of refining and testing the microZOTL circuit, LTA has created the microZOTL Preamplifier. This is the highest expression of the patented microZOTL technology as both preamp and headphone amp in a rack-friendly form factor.
The microZOTL Preamplifier has a beautiful new low-resonance aluminum chassis and offers reference-level sonics through upgraded internal components, shorter signal path, larger power supply, and a digital control system with LED display.

Galibier Design The Eiger
This is a completely new direction in turntables for Galibier, but by no means have we thrown out all we’ve learned through the years.
Here are some key features:
Magnetically tensioned rim drive – fine adjustable tensioning system
Dual, 12″ tonearm capable with revised, sliding armboard architecture based on the Gavia and Stelvio Mk II
4Q controller (evolution of the Stelvio drive)
Modular drive system for ease of service
Gavia TPI© platter standard (Stelvio TPI© optional)
Identical bearing as the Stelvio
Bearing Design
Features and Benefits:
Precision machining to air-bearing tolerances. The .800″ (20mm) diameter shaft means lower deflection and higher precision during the machining process.
Oil reservoir/chamber. A central section of the bearing serves to damp stray bearing vibrations – slight as they may be. Think of a plucked violin string whose maximum travel is at its midpoint.
Massive brass housing machined from 1.5″ (38mm) stock – contributes to vibration and heat dissipation.
Replaceable Delrin thrust plate and hardened steel ball for long life and low noise. None of the “exotics” we’ve tried have convinced us to change this element.

Analog Audio Design TR-1000
Here are explanations of the functions of the touch screen:
1) speed of rewind.
2) selection of the diameter of the reel hub: by calculate the length of the band from the diameter of the reel, the TR-1000 slows the speed towards the end (beginning) of the band in order not to damage the tape by putting it at high speed.
3) of speed: Band speed in inches per second.
4) timers / Locators: settings and use area of timers / locators.
5) " Rew + play ", when you buy a recorded tape, it is stored " already read ", which reduces the (Pre-Echoes) printing effects. Before Reading, you have to wrap the tape on an empty reel. This "Rew + play" does it automatically, the TR-1000 rewind the tape, slows down before the beginning, detect the band starts and launches the reading.
" all repeat when reading, when the end of the reel is reached (detection of the band starts), the TR-1000 rewind at the beginning and rereads the tape.
" tape tension automatically activate the tension of the tape, the red light shows whether the TR-1000 is ready for reading or functions.
"Auto play": this function program the TR-1000 so that it starts reading after one of the search operations (Zero Loc, loc, etc.). ).).).).).).).
" last play the tape will be set at the last reading or recording position.
" zero lộc the band will be positioned at location 0:00:00.0
6) Page de maintenance.
7) whether it is an internet connection with the TR-1000 is active, with external maintenance software allowing, for example, to download a new firmware.
8) Whether the remote control is active, any device capable of running an internet explorer (Android Tablet, phone, pc...) can control the TR-1000, no installation software needed...
9) Activate / off the detection of the trigger band, the red light shall indicate if the band is detected.
10) Equalisation NAB ou IEC.
11) High / Low Impedance Selection for each micro entry.
