LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps.


Hello All,

I want to get a new pre and I have narrowed it down to the LTA  MZ2 and ps audio bhk, with the mz2'being the one I probably will try.Both of these have built in headphone amps which I would occasionally like.

I would like any feedback on both preamps related to the pairing with solid state amps of any kind.

Just a note regarding the MZ2, it is very sensitive to power cords. My point is that It is fun to try a few. I was enjoying the MZ2 and one day thought I should try different power cords to see if it changed in character and I was amazed. Using a DIY ribbon type power cord that someone gave me in a previous audio transaction, the sound was far more detailed and the imaging was far more distinct. Nothing much changed when I used isolation stands under the unit. Have fun because it is an amazing audio bargain. 
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.
Lance,

Thank's for sharing your system info looks like you have 3 very good systems.

Baranyi,

I'm glad you mentioned about PC's making a diff. with the pwr supply.
I definitely have had good results using better cords on other gear.
