Speaker plinth material bottom ported Zu Omen Defs
I wrote Sean at Zu. I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts.  
Nuforce STA200
My speakers are so easy to drive (101db efficiency), a clock radio hooked to them will fill the room. As far as the amp blowing, there are so many variables it would be hard to figure out what happened with so little info. This is the first time o... 
My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables.
Thanks. I’ve always heard great things about Clear Day. With any component or cable, my philosophy is that one should get the sonic impression out of the box. If you do not like a component out of the box, then you will just be forcing yourself to... 
A Better Bluesound AC Cable?

Anyone tried Benchmark cables?

Basically I’m adding a block of wood or something on the floor. Taking the speaker as is and lifting on top of the wood or whatever. I’m maintaining the same gap ( using the floor spikes) that I am currently.
