That microzotl40 is s beast. Im starting to save now. Was considering a Hegel, but the Microzotl is much cheaper and checks all my boxes.
OK, am trying to write my MicroZOTL2 review...just got the LH Labs 2G USB cable, connected it to my PC/Regen/Geek Out Special Edition/MicroZOTL2/HE-1000 (Norne Zoetic Cable). Have had this set up for a while. Man, things just went up a few notches, not able to stop lisening to write, just going tune to tune in JRiver, Dylan, Hi Rez, "Absolutely Sweet Marie" at the moment, that voice, everything imaging rock solid, drive/musicality up a notch (and it was great to begin with). man...should get to bed...nah...
Folks, I am an old Berning fan - have owned 4 of his power amps, at one time or another. Would love to try this amp. My issue is that I have two very disparate pairs of headphones - one Senn HD650 with Cardas cable, which I am sure would work fine, and the other being Denon AH-D7000's, which are both low impedance (rated at 25 ohms) and quite efficient. Question is therefore whether gain will be too high for the denon's. Can anyone advise? TIA!
I own the Denon AH-D7000's also. No. Gain is not too high. Get ready for some BASS, however. The MicroZOTL 2, as I understand it, is linear throughout the frequency range, including the low end. So, to me the Denon AH D7000's almost sound boomy. I think that's the Denons, and not the MicroZOTL 2.
p.s. You'll LOVE this amplifier. It's MAGICAL with the HE-1000s.
p.p.s. I also own the old Denon AH-D700's. That's seven hundred, not seven thousand. I posted about them with the MZ 2 here.
Thanks - yeah, I can imagine the D7000's becoming a bit overripe in the bass. Probably would not bother me unless it's pretty bad.
