Yes I’m running my Rossini Apex from the XLR into David Berning QZs which are tube mono power amps. Rossini is set to 6V output. Very happy with the sound especially after the Apex upgrade.
The QZs have both balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs and you flick a switch on the back as appropriate.
Thanks so much for letting me know Paul. What speakers are you driving? And, did you consider any other tube brands before deciding on the Berning?
No problem.
I’ve used Berning amp for over 10 years. I did not set out to use tubes - I’m amplifier technology agnostic! I’ve had Naim amps before that then Jeff Roland but despite trying other amps whist I’ve had Berning’s, I have not found better. I’m sure there is but I’d have to spend 6 figures and that’s not going to happen.
Speaker wise, I’m trying Raidho D1.1’s. Very nice!
