Introduction
The Z10 Integrated Amplifier (Z10i) combines our ZOTL10 power
amplifier with a Berning-designed preamplification stage and LTA's
digital control system. The result is an integrated amp with a
precision stepped attenuator, tube-coupled balanced inputs, and
a reference-level headphone amplifier, all able to be operated
via remote control.

  • Page 10 Note on using 7062 tubes: The 7062 is often used as a replacement for the 12AT7. This is usually not a problem, but they do require slightly more heater current than a standard 12AT7, which in turn requires slightly less current than a standard 12AU7.
