| $3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers? Also- the LM Audio stuff supposedly sounds good, although it's built at the same place Tri is. | |
| $3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers? My favorite tube integrated (and I owned the Tri) was a little Mastersound Due Venti. I would hunt out the 845 Compact if you want big glass.I've heard the Melody- it was a tad soft to me, but not fully broken in. | |
| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se Bat is a much better amplifier than Rogue. that said, I would only use SS for Revels. | |
| More delays on ARC Ref 5 Upgrade Its ok, Ref 6 is coming in 2013.Hehe. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Charles1dad-Hard not to like your own speakers in any room, so yes of course I enjoy sound at Phil's. But yes, I think it's a compromise and there is room for substantive improvement. The contention that just because a room has treatments that it ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? One last thing- people with dedicated rooms and lavish treatment have the potential to go overboard and try and remove every frequency anomoly and Rives in particular has taken some flack on boards and ended up with some unhappy folks. (I did a L1... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Of course I enjoy listening at Phil's place. That's not the real question at all. I'm going over there soon for a vinyl evening in fact...something that I decide year after year to not pursue in my own system, yet still enjoy.Funny, the thing I mo... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Folks- Phil and I are good friends, but have disagreed on room treatment for the past few years. (ie. I knew he would write a sizzler to my response and it doesn't offend me)Agear- 100% correct analysis. Philes need to work together and Phil has a... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? There is not a single system that doesn't benefit from at minimum treating first reflections and a bass trap or two. And it can be 100% hidden these days and has become a much bigger industry over the past 5 years as folks finally figure it out. S... | |
| Pass xa600.5, Marantz 9S2 or Mcintosh MC501/MC601? I think this comparison isn't correct---does the OP really mean XA60.5? 600.5s are much higher in cost than the other alternatives.On McIntosh, Mac 601 doesn't sound like a 402 or set of 501s at all. This is like comparing Pass X250 to X250.5 imo.... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Agear- let's be fair and highlight that the Alef gear starts at 60k an amp.I think folks have to try amps in their system to judge them appropriately on the 4s. I've personally tried the Audions, Sophias, McIntoshes, Quads, FirstWatt, Vacs, etc. I... | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? one more thing- I chose Definitions over Magico V3s. Both are very good speakers. | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? I went to Zus from C1s. And Definition4s to be exact.Ultimately I wanted a more efficient speaker that was more dynamic and real, but without a harsh/metal tweeter top end. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Charles1dad- that's my opinion as well. and why I've personally tried like 13 amps in my system. | |
| $3000 alternatives to Decware Zen Torii tube amp? Quad ii 40s |
