When I had an F7 I used the Manley Shrimp (good impedance match and adds tubes) and the wyred4sound stp-se level 2 (so I could hear the amp characteristics). Both worked well, I think the tubes added something nice/worthwhile. I had the MZ2 mentioned above, but not with the F7 - any one of those 3 will be a lot of fun, for the price (used) I’d start with the LTA MZ2. Enjoy!
Preamp for First Watt F7
Wondering if anyone has recommendations for a preamp for the First Watt F7 power amp. Hoping to spend less than $1500, and I'm happy to buy used. My system includes Tannoy Turnberry speakers, Denafrips Pontus Dac, Firstwatt F7. This is for a second system in our bedroom, so I'm not trying to spend a ton.
