| Which high power SET In my experience, push pull has dramatically more shove than SET. 28 p/p EL34 watts isn't equivalent to 25 845 SET watts. In fact, I had 15w Quad p/p amps that were tremendously more powerful than the 25w Audions SETs. As others suggest, impedance... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit- Bob Hovland has upgraded the caps in the power supplies of several sets of Black Shadows which has reduced the noise considerably. You can send a message to 213Cobra for the exact modification.Interestingly enough, I heard the large Shindo... | |
| KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845 Old thread, but wonder if any other comments on either amp? | |
| Boltz CD racks? my issue as a long time Boltz owner was that once a CD fell, it went all the way through to the ground. PITA product despite the nice, minimalist look. | |
| Good SS amp for Cary SLP98? Cary V12; skip the SS trial and error | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup The Valvets are great electronics, but they probably won't equal a Koda/Audion combo. Some of your thoughts on the Koda equate mine on Japanese gear I've auditioned in the past- seems to suffer dynamically although is very smooth. Germanboxers has... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Good to hear about a new Definition owner!Sean's Soul Supremes were down in Newport sounding fabulous- best Show setup I've ever heard Zu. Using a Neves pro audio preamp and pair of Melody 845s.I've got a Torus Power product on order, that's all t... | |
| Selling Dynaudio c2 what next??? I would get C1s and a better amp like Pass Labs. | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others I just ordered Porter Ports- much better time spent on other things imo. | |
| Has anyone paired Ayre with Raidho Ayre can be kinda dry, so not sure a good match for Raidho. | |
| any experience with Polymer Audio Research speaker btw, the MKS was 42k according to Soundstage, but 60k at the Newport Show. Hmm. | |
| any experience with Polymer Audio Research speaker I had a similar bad experience with Polymer during the show last weekend. I really don't think the x-over is right. There was haze in between mids/woofs. Not sure what RH was smoking, but that didn't sound one iota like real music. I went and hear... | |
| Suggestions for a power strip or conditioner? I just ordered an Equitech Model Q balanced iso transformer over the usual suspect power conditioners (Shunyata, Audience, RSA). I think this is a better option than regeneration, but its really system dependent. | |
| Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps? My guess is transparent cabling a poor match for the amps. | |
| Zu Omen Def vs Zu Soul Supreme vs Omega Super XRS I heard they were basically the same, just different form factor. That said, call Zu for confirmation. |
