LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps.


Hello All,

I want to get a new pre and I have narrowed it down to the LTA  MZ2 and ps audio bhk, with the mz2'being the one I probably will try.Both of these have built in headphone amps which I would occasionally like.

I would like any feedback on both preamps related to the pairing with solid state amps of any kind.

Kenny,

Question - what's your opinion on the Nuprime ST-10.  I ordered the  MZ2 earlier this week and am considering the Nuprime.  My speakers will be the Spatial M3 which I just ordered this week as well.

I attended the LA Audio Show this past weekend specifically to listen to the Double Impacts and the Spatials.

The room and the equipment used to demo the Double Impacts did not do them any justice and I could not pull the trigger based on my listening experience.  The room was hosted by Positive Feedback and they were showcasing low cost, high value systems so there were multiple speakers and components.  For the Double Impacts, they were using  a Schiit Freya preamp and a Schiit pre-production amp. 

 Very unfortunate as I really wanted to like the Double Impacts.   I was able to sit in the designated sweet spot while listening.  In a dedicated Tekton room with different components, they  would probably sound great.  I just couldn't get past the way they sounded in that room.

Sorry for the long discourse!

Thanks,

Nick
Thanks for the link Kenny.  I'll add the S-500 to review too.  I expect to receive my MZ2 by June 23rd.   Should be getting the speakers about the same time.  Can't wait!
