ZMF did have the regular Feliks Envy with Western Electric tubes. I was in musical heaven for awhile paired to the Caldera Closed.The best 3 tube amps I heard at CanJam was the Feliks Envy 25th anniversary edition, the Viva Egostia 845 and the Aegis. Spoiler alert there's only 1 on that list of 3 I could afford .
Jokes aside the Feliks did sound really darn amazing. Sorry that I do not have the vocabulary to even explain how it sounds. But definitely the best amp I heard at CanJam. Heard it with the Susvara and Heddphone 2 and they both sounded just sublime on it. I've never heard the regular Envy, so not able to draw comparisons between them.
I met the LTA gentlemen on Saturday. Very nice guys from Maryland. I've been watching the Velo amp and I see owning it in the near future after I clear out some gear from inventory. Probably in a year or so. It's hard to let go of items but I'm out of room on my desk/playing area. The Velo sounded great with the DCA Aeon 2 Noire I brought with me and the Liric II they had on hand was very nice on it. Strong and full is best as I can describe with all the crowd noise around since you have to ramp up the volume. Likewise the Z10e at the ZMF room was performing well with the Caldera Closed. LTA also had the Aero DAC there I believe that is in development but did not try since I was not aware of it before CanJam. That'll be a goal on another CanJam!Yes, I think it will reveal all and yet, IMO, it is very natural.

Anyone have impressions of the LTA equipment?
