Hi Allan, after using a zh270 for 4 years now I find I like it best with a parafeed all transformer coupled preamp in front of it. tranny coupling does -some- things better than otl imhO. The combo is stunning, little more hum, lots more glory and sweetness. I realize it's an odd combo but I wonder how that zh270 would sound if the wiper pot was replaced with a Tribute tranny based autoformer volume control? actually I know what it would sound like, heaven. You could do the same thing with a Sonic Euphoria or another tranny based passive linestage. I think the Berning is the undefeated otl (zotl)for delivering bass into a load no question. It is a little dry in it's presentation and that's good (it's accurate). Sweetening it slightly with a transformer may make David cringe but to me it's the "Roses Lime Juice" maragrita, killer sweet yet tangy not too sour and definately powerfull.
