Thanks for this thread, finally hear from others w/gc and tube pre!
I have only had gc for a month or so, zsla-1 for ~ 2 weeks. A good combo for sure. I want to try some more tube variety. And a more versatile pre, (zsla-1 isn't made for that but it definitely does what it is supposed to very well). Foreplay III another one I've considered.
Hi Paul, thanks for the recommendation, it's working out great. I like the dac alot and am now using it with stock Sony 685 (can't help myself, I'm a multi disc guy, 5 is just right for my lifestyle). Have a Vinnie iMod, will get it going later in week. I'm using ob's: Silver Iris' and also B200 ( I will try B2's in aperiodic soon, but unfortunately more generic execution than Louis'). Small room, bass is ok. I'd be very curious if you ever try zsla-1 with Patek. I have a Peter LM3875 kit too, and hope to find the focus to put it together soon.
maxwalrath, is it true mm can be rolled from dry to juicy, etc.? Supposed to be very mallable, which I would like.
