| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 At the time of purchase I asked for mine be fitted with clamps. This made is very easy to attach to anything (bare wire, spade, even directly to speaker terminals). Just make sure that the clamps don't inadvertently touch each other :).I have trie... | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 My 2c. I have lived with the VB1 for a few months on Zu Omen + Zu Libtec + Krell KAV-300.If you go to spatialcomputer dot com slash page9 slash page9 dot html you will see a graph with expected impedance modification due to VB1. Ok... what does th... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm @Philtangerine - I love the m-Lores (they are the 8" version of the Lores' 10" driver). Do I see myself going up the Tekton path? Well, regardless of the musicality and aesthetic pleasure, in the back of my mind I still have the idea that Tekton l... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm To conclude the saga on my end - I have now ceased all tweaking on the Omens with the realization that I don't have what it takes (either room, patience, source, amp, cables or ears). Will get something else that works for what I do have.ThanksC. | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Hi Shakey,I've moved them around during these years while other speakers held main room status. They also spent some time in the second system room while the Tekton m-Lores / Sophia Baby was relegated to main room. The m-Lores were great in the li... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm If I remember right they were driven by a 300B. On one hand it was the lack of box resonance (there was no wood or MDF vibrating to add audible contribution). On the other hand - the bottom extension was very good (probably owing to the 2 15' driv... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Snopro,I hear you. WAF is non-negligible factor here. The best I can do at this point is keep room and spacing in mind as possible reason for part of the limitations regarding soundstage.Thanks, C | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Dear all,Thank you for chiming in with your experience on the Zu speakers fussiness. The OP was more of a tongue-in-cheek at the cheeky marketing totally disconnected from customer. Your comments took the discussion in a more constructive directio... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Hi Foster_9In retrospect, I did go through electronics and cabling refinement without touching the speakers gap/tilt for about 2 years - and while learning a lot of the basics of audiophilia I eventually found what I thought was a good synergy wit... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Charles,Good point. I'd love to hear them well setup too. | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Hi Johnnyb53,You're right - outriggers would make tweaking a breeze. I might try them, but is not clear to me that the Zus in particular would work with outriggers. Two concerns: - the "fingerports" would line up with the location of the feet so t... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Hi Foster_9,Thank you. I did look for recommendations from others - most people use them with tubes (Decware). I used them with a Sophia Electric amp. I ended up using SS for what seemed best compromise to me. Zu brochure (and video :)) does indic... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Changing speakers is the solution kindly offered by audiophile brethren. Thank you - I will. Regarding the original post, so far nobody seems to find the dark humor in the "setup tips" from Zu. Maybe is just me, but the "setup tips" seem to say to... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Thank you - it seems that changing speakers should make me happy.Fine, problem solved, I'm not mad at Zu anymore :). | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Sophia Electric Baby amp - the thin cord it came with is the best. I tried replacing it with Shunyata Diamondback, Audio Magic Sorcerer, Audio Magic XStream, Audioquest AC-15, Zu Birth and others and obtained worse result - significantly worse for... |
