[SIZE=9pt]Hello everyone [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Please find for sale my David Berning Pre One preamp and ZH 230 power amp.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]I have owned both from new. They came to me direct from the David Berning Company[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Condition is as mint/excellent. The only things you’ll see some marks on the base of the PreOne which is from Stillpoints hence the “excellent”. [/SIZE]I have all original packing, manuals etc
[SIZE=9pt]Lot’s of pictures here from my Flikr site. Below is a small selection.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Plus a video here so you can see them working. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]I’d like to achieve £7250 for both but of course happy to negotiate. I’ll also consider selling them individually at £3900 each.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Over the years I’ve had top Naim amps, Jeff Rowland, Vitus, Moon, Mark Levinson and then I discovered David Berning. My first one was the ZH 270. Amazing. Then I got the the PreOne and ZH230 which took me to a new universe. I thought that’s me done with amps because despite trying other amps costing much more, I could not find anything better. These reviews say it better than me….[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]More details...[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Valves in the PreOne: I have some very special tubes I can include (if you are interested) that have cost me hundreds of pounds. These include Cifte 12AU7 (platinum grade cryro treated) in the Pre-One. I’ve tried lot’s of valve combination including RCA, Mullard, Philips, PSVane and the Ciftie’s are by far the best. Absolutely transforms the Pre One.[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Valves in the ZH230 Power amp: I have Telefunken ECC801S (yes “S”!) and Mullard Cryo / ECC82/CV4003-CRYO from Watford Valves in the ZH230. This gives me medium to low feedback setting. That combination of valves gives a beautifully engaging, transparent, super agile and musically addictive performance. [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]All valves were bought by me and were balanced and matched. If you know David Berning amps, you know valves last a lifetime in them, so they sound as fresh as new.[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]
Why HiFiWigwam?[SIZE=9pt] I have sold a few bits here and I know there is a following for David Berning amps. I have considered selling on Audio Market but I would much prefer a UK buyer. Ideally someone that can come over, have a good listen, carry out a detailed inspection and together, we careful pack the amps before parting with your money. It’s a lot of money to spend! By the way, after [/SIZE]careful[SIZE=9pt] consideration, you’ll also see my amps on another forum with an appreciation for David Berning ( ....Fish).[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Depending on where you live, we can talk about me delivering it to you.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]So, finally[/SIZE], why am I selling? There can only be one reason! I’m buying the bigger Berning QZ mono power amps! An unexpected dream that came true I need the money to fund the big brothers.
[SIZE=9pt]I’d be delighted to answer any question. Please send me a PM and then we can exchange emails and telephone numbers.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Thanks for looking.[/SIZE]
