After I get my ZROCK2…The next upgrade I plan to do to my system would be to upgrade my ZSTAGE for a better preamp like the CSP2. If you ever decide to part with your white CSP2 down the road...please me know. If the timing is right I would love the opportunity to buy it from you. With my home renovation… Our interior is basically a black and white farmhouse…. And my wife absolutely loves the white Zen Amp.
I’ll post my initial impressions of my upgraded Zen amp when I get it back.

Dom, I'll keep that in mind. There was a time I entertained selling it as it has been sitting unused a while, but as I spent nearly 1000 dollars for Steve to do all the upgrades, and it has almost all the options as far as dual stereo output, stepped attenuator et al I would ask more for it than would entice a sale. I may put it back in use. . . something is telling me to try my CSP3 with the mods in place of the ZTPRE in the system, which I may try in the coming week or two, and if that works out I may need to put the CSP2+ in service in my audio/video system where the CSP3 now resides. Both the CSP2+ with the mods and the CSP3 with the mods are fantastic preamps and headphone amps--there is a slight difference between the two because the 2+ has a voltage regulation tube mod, and the 3 does not, but has a glass resistor bypassing the input volume controls.
