4) Applied the Hammond 193m choke tweak

Can you share the details of this? I've done a few searches but came up with nothing...

Cheers

Many thanks!

Has anyone tried a Denafrips Ares or other R2R DAC with their MS2? I’m wondering how these pair.

This may be more of a general question, but I've pretty much stopped using my other amps since getting the MZ2, because it is simply better with all my headphones. I have a THX AAA789, Violectric V200 and a Burson Conductor. I sort of feel I should keep them around, just in case I need the extra wattage or cleanliness of the THX, or the smaller size of the Violectric in a 2nd system somewhere. But the question is, do you keep stuff like this around when you have something that obviates the need for the other stuff?

I usually keep what I like best and sell off the rest to finance the next "best" thing

I have an MZ2 and the LTA preamp and cannot imagine replacing them. I now focus on my front end.

So..:I was pointed in this direction instead of a WA6SE...seems y’all are into it.

Anyone have a heddphone???

 

[mourip]

Probably all of us. I have an LTA MZ2 and use my Senn 800S's with it. I use Tungsol round plate 12SN7s.

My LTA preamp is just used for my speaker system.

Lol. I’m talking Hedd AMT

Ha! I assumed a typo...

I wonder if one watt would be enough for those at 87db?

 

[paulybatz]

Right. I don’t think so...that’s the issue
Finding a good amp to complement

 

[mourip]

How about a speaker amp like one of the Pass Labs First Watt amps like the SIT2 or one of the Linear Tube Audio EL84 amps?

 

[paulybatz]

I’m going with a Shiiit Jot now...then...we will see.
Thank you
This forum is amazing and everyone here has been so so helpful!

Have anyone tried this amp with the Meze Empyrean? I'm torn between this one and the Elise/Euforia.

I've had my MZ2 now since 2015, for tube complement I've settled on Telefunken 12AT7 and new generation Tungsol 6SN7GTB for best transients and dynamics.
I highly recommend the Uptone Audio JS2 for it's power supply which is allowing me to run Magnepan 1.7's off the speaker taps in a 12x12 room...the earlier power supplies I had just weren't good enough vs using 50/100 amplifiers connected
to the MZ2 but with the JS2 I can hear how badly the 100W amp veils details when I put it in circuit... prior power supplies were SoTM SPS500, HDPlex 100W, HDPlex200W
