Velo – Headphone Amplifier / Preamplifier

The Velo carries on the legacy of David Berning’s microZOTL circuit and LTA’s MZ2, bringing significant enhancements to this world-class headphone amp and preamplifier.

We’ve taken everything learned about building ZOTL amplifiers and started from scratch to reimagine our foundational product and create the best sounding, most enjoyable, and most reliable headphone amplifier/preamplifier possible.
