Linear Tube Audio ZOTL Ultralinear+
$6,800
David Berning’s Ultralinear+ amplifier breaks new ground in emulating a traditional UL output in a ZOTL setting. It also marks the resumption of his “love affair” with TV sweep tubes. A pair of 17JN6 Compactrons in push-pull connection generates 20Wpc. Sonically, the UL has much in common with the legendary ZH-270. Both share transient speed and control beyond the capabilities of ordinary tube amps. Other common denominators are electrostatic-like midrange clarity, which allows for resolution of densely layered orchestration. The best-sounding low-power push-pull ZOTL amp Berning has designed to date. DO, 305 (New “+” version not yet reviewed)
