| Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes? I've had some experience with Firstwatt (Pass) amplification and Plinius and while both are very good lines of gear, I wouldn't really describe them as tube-like.I'd suggest checking out McIntosh or possibly one of the better tripath amps. I recen... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly It may take a minute to get used to the OTL sound, honestly. I wasn't much of a fan at first but its RAPIDLY growing on me, especially after rolling 6sn7s. I'm finding these speakers are so revealing of amplification and the amps I've tried are so... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I've been doing a lot of listening lately with an Atma-sphere S-30 with NOS 6sn7s and feel it is a very solid matching. It took me some time to get used to such an accurate and transparant sound as I was coming from a Dynaco, but I'm growing fonde... | |
| Rawson Amps Isn't the point rather moot now? As I understand it, Tim got tired of threads like these calling his ethics into question and retired ....Where right or wrong I feel like we are beating a dead horse. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly That is soooo friggin' cool, man! Congrats!I'm not sure what room light green wouldn't clash with, but its all good when you listen with the lights low! | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Is that based on it being a better 'value' or is it a signature you prefer irrespective of price?I'm getting used to the Atma=sphere amplifier and it is really an impressive piece. Slightly dry, but I'm going to roll some 6sn7s in and see how it d... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly The S-30 arrived in good condition, but there were two tube fatalities on the way. My first impressions are a bit mixed. VERY transparent, detailed and super liquid with good control over the speakers. I may need to tweak around a little bit as em... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly For what its worth I was exchanging emails this morning with a friend who was dead set on buying the Omen, but after hearing it and the SF at a Florida Zu party, he is ponying up the extra money for Superfly.On a side note: I've got the S-30 sitti... | |
| Well Tempered Signature turntable and arm No, I think you're probably on your own rocking that table. Thats not to say I'm not slightly envious. I considered a DV XV-1s for my Well Tempered Ref, but ultimately decided against going with a cart that expensive. FWIW I'm really enjoying a Zu... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Roscoeiii,I saw your message on AC and was going to respond after tonights events (just got out of Roger Waters doing "The Wall" at Nassau Collisium--amazing). I haven't actually settled on anything yet. I've been talking quite a bit with Phil beh... | |
| The Well Tempered Record Player and Denon DL103 The Well Tempered tables can sound a little laid back and that Zu 103 I'd mentioned above wakes it up and gets the toe tapping. I tried a number of other carts with my WTR including a Koetsu Rosewood Sig., Nagoaka MP-500, Shelter 501mk2, Dynavecto... | |
| Kora's Galaxy and Jupiter anybody heard 'em? I tried to create a similar thread but the mods won't approve it. I know this is old, but has ANYONE heard the Jupiter that can comment? | |

| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Jasmine LP2.0SE phono preamplifier. Wow! | |
| How much does your system retail for? Right around the $25k mark for my 2 channel but will probably break the thirty mark when I settle on an amplifier. It has taken me a while to get here, but I think I'm nearing completion on this rig. When I have a larger place I'd love to build a ... |
