Lector audio ZXT-70 black

A Harmonious Marriage of Tubes and Transistors

The ZXT-70 hybrid stereo integrated amplifier is the result of Lector’s expertise, a pioneer in hybrid technology. This innovative integrated amplifier combines a tube-based input stage with a MosFet output stage. The preamplification stage uses two ultra-low-noise 6922/ECC88 tubes operating in Class A. The automatic biasing of these tubes, performed in optical mode, perfectly complements the MosFet output stage circuitry. This synergy significantly reduces distortion factors, delivering sound quality comparable to the high-end VFI700 model.

Generous Power for Dynamic Listening

Despite its hybrid nature, the ZXT-70 makes no compromises on power. It delivers a maximum output of 2 x 70 W at 8 ohms or 2 x 100 W at 4 ohms. This capability allows it to adapt to a wide range of speakers, ensuring dynamic and effortless sound reproduction, even at high volumes.

Connectivity and Features: Essentials Without Excess

The Lector ZXT-70 offers comprehensive yet streamlined connectivity:

• 5 RCA line inputs for connecting various audio sources
• 1 recording output for analog recording enthusiasts
• 1 speaker output for a classic stereo setup

Volume control is managed via a remote, combining ease of use with precision. The device adopts a minimalist approach, focusing on essentials to deliver optimal sound quality.

Original and Elegant Design

The ZXT-70 stands out with its refined aesthetics. Its black casing features an original design, making it a decorative piece in its own right. The power switch, unconventionally placed on the left side of the device, adds a touch of originality. Weighing between 12 and 15 kg, this amplifier exudes confidence and solidity.

Warm and Natural Sound Signature

The Lector ZXT-70 is distinguished by its ability to deliver warm, natural, and transparent sound. The tonal balance is rendered with sensuality, creating an immersive and emotional listening experience. The soundstage, slightly dramatic, adds a captivating dimension to the listening experience. While the device may exhibit a slight lack of resolution at the extremes of the sound spectrum, this characteristic contributes to its unique charm and playful character.

A Compelling Value for Money

Positioned as an affordable high-end amplifier, the ZXT-70 outperforms many competitors in its price range. It offers exceptional sound quality and remarkable performance, making it particularly appealing to discerning audiophiles seeking excellent value for money.

Unmatched Reliability

Contrary to popular belief, the ZXT-70, despite its use of tubes, is a reliable device. Its minimalist design, with fewer components than a traditional transistor amplifier, reduces the risk of failure. Additionally, Lector’s expertise in hybrid technology ensures long-term durability and stable operation.
