High End Audio Headphone Amplifer
Linear Tube Audio and David Berning have produced the ZOTL40 Mk. II. A worthy flagship and the most refined manifestation of Berning's ZOTL design. The ZOTL40 Mk. II Power Amplifier provides 40+ watts per channel with accurate, uncolored sound and automatically protected circuitry.
 
The Mk. II version incorporates KT77 tubes and a few other component changes to make this great amp even better. These products are based on Berning's patented architecture known as ZOTL, which stands for ZERO Hysteresis Output Transformer-Less.
