| DECWARE.....ZTPRE anyone have any expeiriance with one ? @jmolsberg, agreed, the MZ2 is incredible. I have 2 of them and need to sell one now that I have the Micro ZOTL Preamp. As someone who has owned both the MZ2 and ZTPre I can say the MZ2 is superior but is single ended not balanced. I did love the ... | |
| DECWARE.....ZTPRE anyone have any expeiriance with one ? I owned the ZT Pre for a while and it was just OK. It wasn’t long before I started looking for another preamp.
