Best line stage preamp to mate with the Zen v9?

[jimmyd53]

I am collecting parts to build the Zen V9. What line stage preamp are other builders going to use? Thanks for your opinions.

Doesn't anyone have an opinion about this? James

My general advice is

If it has a low input impedance, use a BOSOZ.
If it has a high input impedance, use an X-BOSOZ.

I've not built a ZV9 yet, so take that for what it's worth.

BOZ is a good one

I've been using 2/3rds of an aleph 1.7... I use the lower CCSs but 500 ohm load Rs with a higher voltage and current. Let me see if I have a pic that's worth posting... I havent done the ZV9 yet either but, I kinda like this configuration...
