| Major EXOGAL Comet/Ion problems Would appreciate any and all help implementing this solutions for someone who has zero tech skills. I love my comet but the remote issue is becoming a problem for me. | |
| DACs that do well without a preamp Exogal Comet. Great straight into an amp (no idea how it sounds with their ion amp) | |
| Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe Haven’t heard the Mahi’s so I can’t comment on them. The OTO is an integrated vs the Manley so you’d need a preamp. Music Reference makes a fine EL84 amp as well. Audio Note kits is another great option. I’ve heard the OTO AN K’s many times, wat... | |
| Tube rolling LTA MZ3 Thanks to the suggestions here I got a pair of SIEMENS E80CC / 6085 for my MZ2. Significant improvement over the GL’s that LTA provides. Replaced the RCA 12sn7’s that LTA provided with a pair of GE’s and I think I prefer the RCA’s. Just got a pa... | |
| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? I think the XA25 single ended and wouldn’t benefit from a balanced preamp. I’d recommend on LTA microzolt Preamp. I own one and love it. And they can use 12sn7 or 6sn7 tubes. I know I’ve read about the combo of the LTA and pass/first watt amps. | |
| Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe Vu is the man when it comes to Audio Note. The Audio Note OTO is the bomb with the K’s. I’ve got the AN E’s and found they work better with SET’s or EL34’s. | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? Absolutely! QS amps, are quiet, reliable, easy to mod or repair if needed. I run my mid monos every day for 8-10 hours and they just work. Spend some $ on some good small signal tubes and a couple of decent power cords and you’ve got great soun... | |
| Which amp to use with Linear Tube Audio pre? I have my mz2 running into a pair of quicksilver mid monos and the combo sounds great. No sure how they’ll work with Maggie’s. Also using my MZ2 straight into my Audio Note AN/E speakers. Great sound, a little underpowered. | |

| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Not in Denver, but I can say that the Audio Note AN E’s are a great match with quicksilver mid monos. The amps really came alive when I added an LTA MZ2 preamp last month. However. I’ve been running the LTA straight into the Audio Notes for the pa... | |
| Preamp shootout: Linear tube audio, Modwright, etc. I’ve had an MZ2 for about 3 weeks and it’s definitely the best preamp I’ve heard in my system. Quiet and uncolored. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Linear Tube Audio MZ2 is by far the best preamp I’ve heard in that price range. And that’s with the stock 12sn7’s. | |
| Speakers to pair with Elicit-R / Rega Planar 6? Great amp. Try Harbeth Compact 7’s. I had great success with a pair of Audio Note AN E’s and the Elicit as well. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? If you get a change, I’d recommend auditioning for Harbeth 30.2’s with a slightly higher powered SS amp, along the lines of Ayre, Sudgen or Hegel. | |
| Best tube preamp for Quicksilver V4 tube mono's (newest KT150 version) I’m using a Manley Shrimp with my mid mono’s. Sounds great, but nothing else to compare it to. |
