| PS Audio NEW Huron Firware upgrade. 😩😫😩 Try it Kenny, you can always go back. I'm sticking with Huron.Lance | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? @kddusing - if you're nearby, Linear Tube Audio is located in Takoma Park, MD, not far from where CAF is held. They have a show room so you can go by there any day for a listen. I stop in frequently. | |
| PS Audio NEW Huron Firware upgrade. 😩😫😩 @lwin - +1 on Huron, it sounds incredible to me. At first I was hearing some crackling that wasn't there before, I thought I had a woofer or a tube going. Not sure what that was but I reloaded it again, let the system run in a while and no noise. ... | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Kenny,i did get my MZ2 with 3 inputs and gave up the speaker terminals for a second set of outputs in case I wanted to connect powered subs. My Micro ZOTL already has speaker terminals anyway.update on the AHB2: I ran it in all weekend and I now a... | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. @pryso - Thanks Tim and Yes that should have been a Parasound JC3+ phono stage. | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Kenny,The AHB is extremely neutral but can be warmed up with a tube preamp but only slightly warmer with the MZ2 in the chain. I wouldn't exactly call the MZ2 warm but tube rolling definitlty can change things. Today I'm took the MZ2 out and used ... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Kenny is right about the Job being system dependent. The LTA MZ2 did not work well with it, the Decware CSP3 did work well because of the input adjustment. The Job also can occasionally make a big pop sound when it decides to pass a little DC to y... | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Kenny,the Bencemark AHB2 is sounding great, a very good SS amp. It sounds good with the MZ2 but yes you do have to use adaptors since there is only XLR inputs.Lance | |
| Amp choice for Harbeth (SHL5) There is always a few rooms that stick out in my memory when I go to audio shows. One I remember from a few years back at CAF is the Vinnie Rossi room. He was using Harbeth SHL5+ speakers and it was incredible. I remember nothing else from that sh... | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Just as the MZ2 is sensitive to power cords (I use the Graphene Extreme red with good results) it is also very sensitive to tube rolling. There is a lot to play with here. | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Kenny,I'm not sure how much it betters the Job since it's not entirely broken in yet. So far the AHB2 is more detailed, more clarity and neutral. The Job is a tad warmer and has better control of the bass. Both are excellent amps with the Job bein... | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. In the first couple of hours of listening to the new Benchmark AHB2 with the MZ2, I can hear good things already, very promising but need a little break in time. | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. @kdude66Â I have two different systems with MZ's. I'm actually using Tung Sol NOS black glass 12SN7's. They are less expensive if you can find them. Recently started using NOS Tung Sol VT99 6F8G with adaptors and this might be a little better than ... | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. @kdude66Â In my MZ2 I like the NOS Tung Sol 6SN7 and the NOS Sylvania Chrome Dome better than the CV181-Z. I'm curious what you think. | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. I'm sure the BHK is good from what I've heard but I haven't heard it. I have two of the MZ2's and they are spectacular. I also have a Benchmak AHB2 on the way to me so I can let you know next week how it sounds with SS. |
