Tim,

The one thing that stood out in my mind is that the MA2.2 was the only transformerless pre of the bunch. I remember a long time ago a reviewer having an issue with I believe the then new Earthworks on a particular transformerless pre having issues that were particular to that combination.

It could be the Peluso doesn't generally like a transformerless input and something weird happens.
