FEATURES
The Zen TABOO MK III has several features that combine to make it one of the very
best quality headphone amplifiers in the world.
SINGLE ENDED DESIGN - One output tube per channel running in class A. The benefit of
this is in the detail.
Multiple tube designs are never quite as transparent as a single tube.
NO CIRCUIT BOARDS - Wired point-to-point with parts leads and no hookup wire. The
benefit of this is better sound combined with reliability that is so great we offer a lifetime
warranty.
SMALL OUTPUT TUBES - Uses your choice of EL84/6BQ5 or SV83/6P15P output tubes. The
benefit is these tubes have better speed and neutrality than the pricey alternatives.
VOLUME/GAIN CONTROL - Front mounted gain control makes it possible to use this amp
without a preamp OR allows the input sensitivity to be adjusted to achieve optimal matching
with
any preamp.
Comes with a Gold Contact Precision 20 pos Stepped Attenuator.
GOLD/TEFLON INPUT JACKS - Rear mounted, high quality RCA jacks are wired with Silver/
Teflon wire to support even the most expensive interconnect cables.
DUAL INPUTS - Run two different sources switchable through a silver selector switch.
ADJUSTABLE INPUT LEVELS - independent input level adjustment for all 4 channels.
DUAL 1/4 HEADPHONE JACKS - located on each side and can be used at the same time
making it possible for two people to listen.
XLR BALANCED OUTPUTS - available in either 3 or 4 pin XLR to accommodate different
types of balanced headphone cables.
FLIPPED OUTPUT JACKS - The top mounted speaker binding posts are flipped so high
dollar speaker cables lay out correctly without one being twisted.
These accept banana jacks,
spades, or bare wire up to 8 gauge.
BIAS METERS - Supplied for each output tube, the meters show how many milliamps each
output tube draws.
A great indicator of the condition of the tubes and how well they match.
USA MADE CUSTOM OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS - Our output transformers are designed
from the ground up with premium cores and non-symmetrical windings especially for these
amps.
There are no off-the-shelf high-dollar
output transformers made that sound better.
These transformers are a large part of the reason Decware amps have gained the reputation
they have.
