ZANA DEUX

Eddie Current’s longest running product and possibly the most talked-about line/headphone tube amplifier on the market, the Zana Deux is timeless audio art, offering exceptional musicality and design. New larger paper and oil capacitors improve the amp’s performance speed, resolution and clarity. These amps are handcrafted and offered at an exceptional price point for American-made audio art, in both sound stage and appearance. The Zana Deux’s Hi /Lo impedance switch will drive most headphones and the nickel plated caps enhance the detail in design. The final amps in the inventory are the stealth black finish. Because of the hard-to-source parts, the Zana Deux will be retired after current inventory is sold out. 100V – 240V available.
