Decware ZTPRE v2

Hi there, 

I'm curious if anyone has experience with the Decware ZTPRE v2. I have a Parasound JC2BP Preamp which has balanced in/outs. It's very clean sounding and I have no complaints, but I'd like to try a pre with Tubes, I also have Decware ZMA on order at the same time so thinking the two would pair well together. 

Here is my current setup and I will be swapping the Parasound with the Decware and Quads with a Decware ZMA. My goal is to have balanced throughout the chain with tube amps and preamps.

  • VPI Classic 2 Turntable
  • Technics 1200G Turntable
  • McIntosh MP1100 Phono Pre
  • Parasound JC2 Preamp
  • Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer/DAC
  • McIntosh MQ112 EQ
  • Quad Jubilee Mono Blocks 35W
  • Altec Lansing Model 19 speakers
  • REL 212/SE Subs
  • Nexus Power Conditioner

Thanks! Yes its overkill for the Altec's but I wanted an Amp that would give me more flexibility if I swap out the speakers in the future.

I have one on order but have not heard one, plus the 2+ year wait. Another preamp on my list is an Atma-Sphere MP-3, check it out, excellent company, love their philosophy, seems like they have the perfect balance between objective measurements and subjective experience.

Nice! I'm about 6 months out in the queue for both items. I'll check out the Atma-Sphere MP-3. Thanks for the recommendation.
