The first review on the Linear tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has gone up

lancelock
I asked because this is stated under specs for this preamp

" Power Supply Input: Auto-switching 100V / 120V / 220 / 240V operation or linear supply user-switchable between 110/120 and 220/240 (contact us if in need of a 100V linear supply) "

very nice review teajay! for me, one of the best features about the MZ2 is the ability to remove my decware amp from the chain and hookup my very efficient omega high output speakers right into the pre amp. for a late night (sometime all night) listening session, that combo is hard to beat! 

Hey supabayes,

The Pass Labs HPA1, used as a preamplifier, is a terrific performing linestage.  I wrote a review on it and found that it surpassed the performance in my system of the Pass Labs three box reference preamp for so much less money.  What Pass Labs learned/applied in your preamplifier was brought to the new generation of their linestages.

However, the HPA1 cannot bring to the sonic table what the Berning ZOTL circuit with the right tubes does which revolves around the purity of tonality/timbres of instruments, 3D holographic imaging and space between the players, and an overall sense of "aliveness" that SS just can't quite deliver.

Does Berning have a website?  My search engine doesnt show one.

Any reason why it has XLR inputs but no XLR outputs?.
