I’m selling a LTA MZ2 Preamplifier that can also be used as a very high quality Headphone Amplifier or 1 watt Class A speaker amplifier. I’ve only used this as a preamp so I can’t comment on how it works as a headphone amplifier or 1 watt power amplifier. But it has been a very excellent sounding and reliable Preamplifier for me driving a variety of First Watt, Pass Labs and Dynaudio power amps.
The MZ2 provides tube tone + solid state detail. Traditional tube amps are known for their liquidity and linearity, but their “warmth” masks details and can sound thick. Solid state amplifiers give you that detail, but can be “clinical.” ZOTL amplifiers give you the best of both worlds: beautiful tube tone with the clarity of solid state (while being entirely tube-based.)
It has been a Stereophile Recommended Component since its release in 2016. Herb Reichert delighted in the sound of the microZOTL driving DeVore O/93 and Zu Soul Supreme speakers—with the latter, he said, "musical flow seemed more slippery and alive, like a trout in a clear mountain stream"—and with JH Audio Roxanne headphones, he said, "the midrange was pure and right." And "because of its radical transparency," says HR, the microZOTL2.0 "would hold its own" as a line stage "in a cost-no-object system."
For more information see the many, very positive reviews online.
Included in the asking price is a remote volume control and Linear Power Supply upgrade (LPS+ new cost $650). The MZ2 with standard Switch Mode Power Supply sounded very good. But adding the LPS+ made a very noticeable improvement in sound quality – improved clarity, transparency and imaging.
Both products are in excellent condition and will ship in their separate, original packaging.
