| Help and opinions needed on pre-amp situation veerosi, Just saw this thread today or I would have chimed in earlier. I've owned an MP-3.3 for about two years now, originally pairing it with M-60s. I switched to Ralph's Class Ds earlier this year and I couldn't be happier. I've tried all my p... | |
| Preamp for a GaN-FET amp... I own Ralph's Class Ds and pair them with his MP-3 preamp, a great match as you might imagine. But out of all the other preamps I tried, the one I kept as a spare is the LTA MZ2, a steal at around US$1,100 used. Not only does it have the richness... | |
| Experience with Modwright products? I currently use Dan's PH 9.0X phono pre and I owned the LS 100 preamp a few years ago. Dan has always been extremely helpful and easy to work with, including when the LS 100 had to go in for out of warranty service. Quality products from a quality... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Depending on what you consider budget, the LTA MicroZOTL MZ2 is an amazing bargain. | |
| Tube Integrated With Clarity brylandgoodman, Not familiar with any of the other equipment you mention, but I own an LTA MZ2 and it's astonishing, especially for the price. I've used it with a number of power amps and it never fails to shine. The only reason it's relegated to... | |
| Components that you regret parting with? Thorens TD-124. I got it maybe 40 years ago before I knew what anything was worth. I got it for $75 out of a guy's custom console and couldn't find a plinth for it, so I sold it for $400 and had to give the buyer $100 back because I had no idea ho... | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 slovell, I moved from a modded JD-9 (Burson op amps/Jupiter caps/NOS 12AX7s) to an E.A.T. E-Glo Petit and it was huge improvement, both in sonics and convenience. Like theflattire, I’ve since moved on to a Modwright PH 9.0X, but that’s in a compl... | |
| Balanced/Differential tube preamplifier recommendation? thought9, PM'd you. | |
| Balanced/Differential tube preamplifier recommendation? thought9, I own an Atma-Sphere MP-3 which I bought used without remote capability and sent it back to Ralph for the upgrade. The remote volume works great and I can't hear a difference from the original stepped control. I paid less than $3k for m... | |
| Looking for advise with selecting next integrated amp What tubes have you tried in your R8? I got much better bass when I switched from EL34s to KT88s. I agree it does take a bit to warm up, but I just turn it on when I get home and it stays on the rest of the evening. | |
| What amps are out there that are Class A, 50 wpc into 8 ohms? Monarchy SM-70. I owned a pair and they were very good. There's a pair for sale right now on USAM. | |
| Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3 I own M-60 3.3s, and use Zu Druid Mk Vs. My room is 14 X 30. I have the Druids about 6 feet from the back wall, and they sound amazing. David | |

| Burson OpAmps - Consensus? I put Burson V5i in all 6 positions of my Jolida JD9 phono preamp and it was a huge improvement over stock. |
