About the Zana Deux

The Eddie Current Zana Deux is a handcrafted, American-made tube headphone amplifier featuring a retro industrial design inspired by classic American cars. It uses two 6C33C-B power triodes (one per channel), a 6SL7 dual triode for voltage gain and biasing, and two 6D22S rectifier tubes. The amplifier is an output transformerless (OTL) design with three inputs and two preamp outputs, allowing it to serve as the centerpiece of an audio system for both headphones and speakers. It includes an external low noise toroidal power transformer with a detachable umbilical cord. The Zana Deux offers a Hi/Lo impedance switch to drive headphones from 8 to 600 ohms, making it versatile for various headphone types including high impedance models like the Sennheiser HD600/650/800 and Grado RS1. It is known for its speed, clarity, dynamic range, and natural euphonics without excessive warmth or bloom. The amplifier runs hot during operation and features a robust chassis that acts as a heat sink. It is hand wired point-to-point with no printed circuit boards, using high-quality paper and oil capacitors to improve performance speed and resolution. The Zana Deux is highly regarded for its musicality, detail resolution, and ability to satisfy both tube and solid-state enthusiasts. It weighs approximately 14 lbs and measures 12" wide by 14" deep by 9" high. The
