A new amp by David Berning, ZOTL inventor, the ZOTL40 is one of his finest works yet.  Showcasing a designer at his best, the ZOTL40 Power Amplifier provides two 40W outputs with accurate, uncolored sound with automatically protected circuitry.  With such rapid response, detailed sound, and absence of tube bloom typical of other amplifiers, the ZOTL40 Power Amplifier sets itself apart as best-in-class, producing an unforgettably palpable and poignant listening experience every time.

ZOTL40 Power Amplifier

Hand-built in Washington, DC, with premium components, the ZOTL40 is available through HiFi Logic..  

Performing at the theoretically correct turns ratio, Linear Tube Audio’s ZOTL40 delivers a previously unattainable, unparalleled and stunningly realistic experience wherever it's plugged in.  Considered the only significant advance in tube circuitry since the 1960’s, ZOTL technology eliminates the output transformer in order to remove the inherent distortion found in transformer-type amplifiers.  

Perfect for high efficiency speakers, the ZOTL40 produces a much lower hum than most tube amplifiers and requires no adjustments since tubes are auto-biased.  With Russian Tung-Sol tubes, push-pull Class AB output stage, an Alps volume control and inputs for direct connection to high output sources, theZOTL40 Power Amplifier delivers a potent, experience defining realism.
