Another vote for the LTA preamp options. I started with the MZ2 with an XA30.8. Very good combination. Moving up to the Microzotl Preamp resulted in a meaningful improvement. Now this preamp is by far the most affordable piece in my system. I’ve never considered it the weak link. Real dimensionality, not just tube generated staging anomalies. Dynamics, harmonic completeness, and black see the Big Bang type of noiseless background. An absolute bargain.
