A good ipod dock for an ipod classic.
Ive had the 170 since it came out. Great product, I really like it. If you read all of the posts out there, there are many descriptions of its weaknesses, especially that it is prone to jitter. To my ears it is hard for me to decern between the Ip...

171 is not out yet. I have one on order from MusicDirect, and they are quoting that they should be receiving them direct from the importer in early January.

New Zu Mission cable
NaggotsIf you need to place amps further apart, you can specify with ZU and order the lead outs a little longer to accomodate.I noticed a smoother presentation with the Mission over the Varials. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed them, however t... 
Using Zu Def 2
Understood. As stated, I had good results with the Energy speakers for center and surround duties. I think that they represent a solid product at their price points. I believe that the center was @ $300 and the surrounds were @ $200 when I purchas...

what to do with my cat on my speaker grills
Walmart sells a compressed air can with a motion sensor in the pet section. I forget the name of it, but I think it is called Scatttt, or some form of that. It works well, any time the cat gets within the range of the sensor, it blasts a shot of c...

Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence
They had the pre-production pair at my house back in November durring the tour. They are a little more "snappy/quick" than the Essence as they are more like the Druids, but have a deeper bass extension. For the price they are asking, its a lot of ... 
Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence
They sound very similar to the Druids. Definitely different than the Essence. If you have reeived the new issue of Stereophile, Zu is running a special on the first 60 pairs of soul that are sold.

Zu Druid upgrade kit
They work well with all kinds of music. I too listen to singer song writer stuff, along with acoustic, and they sound great. They also sound great with hard rock and metal too.
