This has been a VERY interesting thread!! I have a MT ordered and should have it very soon. I DO have a zkit1 with the PC Board. I'm running stock Russian tubes in it, and using a (don't laugh guys) Velleman K8021 preamp(kit) to spoon feed it. My speakers are Marantz Imperial 6G's, which sound incredible for their age(circa 1974) I can only wonder how the MT is going to sound. It's been very interesting to hear how you guys are comparing those amps. I'll be sure to post my opinions once I've gotten my MT and spend some hours with it...Great thread!!!
