LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps.

Lance,

I know in past preamps I have had very good results with the Tung sol black glass 6sn7,Slyvania chrome domes and 3 hole bad boys,treasure cv-181-z and the new production Sophia electric 6sn7's but had terrible results with the new production Tung sol 6sn7's.

The MZ2 is probably a tube rollers delight,sounds like it responds very well to diff. tube combos.

I still have my Valvet soul shine that was a Little better than a modwright Ls-100 that I sold,both very respectful pre's though.

I see some guys are having very good luck finding and using the 12sn7's It's a nice feature that the MZ2 can use both.

In the first couple of hours of listening to the new Benchmark AHB2 with the MZ2, I can hear good things already, very promising but need a little break in time.

Kenny,

If you can from memory, how do you think the LTA betters the MW LS100, I have the latter so interested in any insights you can impart. Txs

Facten,

I won't get my MZ2 for a couple of weeks.

I sold the mw ls-100 to a friend in our local audio club and I will be borrowing it back for a direct comparison in the future.

I still have my soul shine for now and will be comparing also.


Kenny.

Lance,

Good to hear your liking the AHB2,keep us informed.

Do you think it betters the Job in your system and could you tell us the rest of your system.

What kind of cables are you using between the MZ and the AHB2,knowing the AHB2 has xlr input only.

Best,
Kenny.
