For Sale ZenMod Iron Pumpkin AVC preamplifier

Things you have for sale.
Built with pride in Slovakia 🙂 by ZenMod.

Top of the line model with Finmet AVC, Toshiba JFETS. 2x RCA inputs, 3x Balanced inputs and a pair of both SE and balanced outputs.

24 step volume control. Remote control works spot on.

It has 0dB to +8dB gain which can be selected by internal jumpers.

Seriously great preamp, I’ve tested it against Don Sachs 6SN7 preamp (with the nice LINLAI Global Elite 6SN7) and also against Holo Audio Serene. It performs in the same league, and it’s the one I kept - but I now find myself going DAC direct. Iron Turtle neither adds or takes away, it’s just that I don’t need it anymore. It only has about 300hrs on it and is as new. I am the original owner.

Asking £1,600 + shipping or collection from Oxford, UK
