Calling Dave Berning ZH-270 owners


Hi,

Just a few very quick questions... if you own a Dave Berning ZH-270 amp are you using a preamp as well and if so which preamp and why?

Many thanks,

Another preamp convert here also.Used it with a Counterpoint[modded] pre and it was superb,cheers,Bob
Guys - thanks for all the replies! Certainly looks like a preamp is the way to go.

I also had the ZH-270. I agree that a preamp does improve the system. I found that the First Sound pre was an excellent match, better than Supratek.
Thank you for all those who took the time respond.

After lookingf at a number of other threads on here, I have decided to reconsider my amps and I'm starting a search for a valve pre and mono blocks that will give me a similar sound signature to the ZH but build upon it.

All the best,

Monty
As a ZH-270 owner i can recommend a Goldmund MIMESIS 2 if you can get one s/h. Mine has died now so i will switch to an EAR 868 or EAR 912. Both give superb results with the 270.

just my 2cents
