Teajay,Thank's for that update on the MZ2S,I was wandering if au7 would be ok to use.I have much more of these in my collection than at's.Lance,What au7 tubes are you using with those vt99's.I'm assuming the cover may not fit because of the tube h...

Probably might need some cleaning and recapping at this point,but if it works and sounds good to you I would use it.Don't pay any attention to the negatives some folks bring up.Kenny.

Yes I'm awaiting to hear about the DI SE's and the mini's.Since I sold my Zu's over the weekend I will be shopping for replacements,no great hurry though.Kenny.

Happy Independence Day Everyone. 
What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps?
You might look into the Linear tube audio MZ2S,Most definitely splits the difference between SS and tube based preamps.The Freya is cheap for good reason I sent mine back after 5 days, even with very good nos sylvania vt-231 tubes I found it very ...

I just love any Norah Jones,we got to see her 4 to 5 yrs ago at the Brady theater which is a smaller more intimate setting.I just bought a slightly used Zotl 40 at a good price off the gon,Can't wait to try it with my MZ2S.Best,Kenny.

It's always been my experience in 31yrs of this audio hobby,That you get mostly what you pay for.There are exceptions to this though.

Audioman58,If I had more refinement and detail in my listening room,I would have to wear a Tuxedo and scrap the detail of the walls with a golden knife.Now that's some funny stuff.😁😁Best,Kenny.

Imswjm,It has been a long time since I used anything from melody,so I can't really directly compare but if I could I'm pretty sure I would be keeping my MZ2S.Melody does make some good products though and if I remember right I think Teajay did rev...

Hello all,From the many comments of owners posted here I haven't gotten the impression that lower volume detail is a problem. Offcourse this can be system,room and listener dependent.That's why my DI's were modded by me for my personal preferences...

bullitt,I would say go with that old saying,there is only one way to find out.Since Teajay has made a offer to loan you the cyber Amp you might just try it out and then you would truly know if It's your sonic cup of tea or not.One thing I know for...

Bullitt,Now I truly understand the passion for set tube amps that Teajay and others have,I've owned several good ones over the yrs.I only have one now but I'm presently more focused with various SS amps driven by the LTA MZ2s preamp.If I recall yo...
