Press Release | Osaka, Japan: December 20, 2016- Zanden Audio is excited to announce the launch of our new model 3000mk2 preamplifier at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It replaces the current model 3000 preamplifier in the Classic Series and includes a number of crucial improvements.
"The Zanden Model 3000mk2 preamplifier sports three RCA and three XLR line-level inputs and a single set of RCA and XLR outputs to the power amplifier. An all-valve design, the Model 3000mk2 uses a single 5687 double-triode in the input stage and a pair of 6CA4s as line drivers in the output.

Extremely happy but the upgrade bug kept raising its ugly head. So I went to listen to a Zanden 3000 mk2 preamp (to replace my Nagra Jazz), dreaming about a second hand pair of Zanden 9600s to replace my Nagra Classic Amp. Went to listen to the Zanden preamp and it was great: bigger sound, deeper soundstage. Great in every sense.
Osaka, Japan-based Zanden Audio added a third phono preamplifier to its line with the $7,500 Model 120, a solid state LCR RIAA design using Jensen dual tap step-up transformers with 60dB and 71dBs of gain and input impedances of 36 ohms and 470 ohms respectively. The Model 120 includes an absolute polarity switch and five equalization curves …
Description. Model 3000Mk2 valve remote controlled line preamplifier is another Zanden masterpiece in every respect. The amplification stage is designed with zero negative feedback, while special amorphous cobalt transformers are employed at both inputs and outputs. The external valve power supply incorporates the latest and very best material ...
I still think it's one of the best preamps you can buy but Zanden 3000 Mk2 is simply better, mainly because it sounds more real with less character and closer to the absolute sound IME. I would say this line stage has quite some qualities of it's bigger brother Chukoh that was made for Audioexotics a few years ago and which I still remember fondly.
The rest is a platter mat and vibration absorber. The improvements Finemet brought to the Model 8120 stereo power amp were suitably large enough to warrant investigation in the top products. The Model 9600Mk2 remains Zanden's flagship power amplifier. It employs two KR845 valves in the output stage, with two 6CA4, two 5R4WGB and two 5687WB ...
How much of this get-lost threat was due to the Zanden's 7308 triode? Switching to the $3,000, fully loaded Shanling showed that though markedly narrowing the previous gap, the MkII still sounded bigger and bolder while the T-100 still retained a modicum of restrictive tightness that you wouldn't notice except in such direct opposition.

The amps were used with a Zanden Model 3000 preamp and the still-gorgeous-sounding Model 2000P/Model 5000S transport/DAC combo. Even the interconnects, speaker cables and power cords were from Zanden, comprising a full system, except for the phono stage (which Mr. Yamada also makes), turntable and speakers.
You two have never seen (except on photos) or heard this preamp and I seriously doubt you have ever heard any Zanden product, yet you have so much to say about it. As Yamada San often says, the main difference between Classic and Modern line of Zanden products is in the quality of parts and material.
The Model 5000 MkII is a bona fide audiophile instrument, but one that deliberately serves non-audiophile material. This counters the popular notion that bad recordings should sound bad, or else it ain't high fidelity. While this argument clearly appeals to reason, logic and conceptual ideals, the Zanden shows it to declassify recordings as bad ...

Chinese-made products have not always enjoyed the same reputation as well-known western brands but, based on recent experiences, I am confident in stating that it is about time to change our collective …
It will be a mix between the Zanden (3000) and the Nagra Classic amp. Of course I will report when the time is there. It is often said that the 3000 and 9600 should be viewed as one compenent. So maybe.... that will be the final (;-)) step. I wonder how much difference there is between the 9600 mk.1 and mk.2. If anyone has first hand experience ...
Audio GD is a high end Chinese company that produces DAC's, preamps, headphone amps and other hi end 2 channel products. We were shocked at the price to performance these products offer.

Every opinion is appreciate. Thanks. I am thinking about getting a Luxman 600 or 800 how are you liking your 800? I have a M800 with a Zanden 3000. The couple is wonderfull. I own Zanden 3100 and 8120. And two M800a run in mono. Similar vibes - flow, strength, spaciousness, musical, dynamic, grip, finesse.

Great review of the Zanden 3100 [preamplifier]. As a psychologist once told me, want what you have. Anyway, I was wondering what a good preamp might do in my system.
