An Interview With Linear Tube Audio & AXPONA 2022 Preview!
This week’s episode of The Occasional Podcast sits down with the company lead of Linear Tube Audio, Mark Schneider. Mark has taken over some of David Bering’s tube amplifier designs and transformed them into a new thriving company. His insights into listening and amplifier design are unique among manufacturers, and often invite interesting vantage points into the hobby from someone who started as a fan.
In addition to the Mark Schneider interview, the episode gives an update to all the new product launches announced this month, along with a preview to all the audio gear coming out at AXPONA this weekend. Tune in if you want to hear all the latest from the audio show circuit. It’s been a while since many manufacturers have had exposure to a real life audio event of this magnitude, so things should be really hopping at the show.
