Zoom Audio Labs L2
L2 is variable input resistance MC phono preamp with JFET discrete input stage. Internally it is quite similar to MM phono preamp, however as MC cartage signal is so low, we had to improve power supply filtering, by adding additional voltage regulators stage. MC version is also tuned to get tube like warm and rich sound, yet maintaining finest details and high dynamics typical to semiconductors.
Current lineup consists of two phono preamplifiers. One is for MM input cartages, and other one is for MC cartages. Both of them internally are quite similar, and top quality components are used to get lowest possible noise and highest RIAA curve accuracy. But as always we don’t stop at performance part, we also listen to the product. So both of these phono preamps are tuned to vacuum tube sound signature, meaning that as power amplifiers they have that warm, but yet highly dynamic and precise sound.
