Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?

I also think I liked the Atma/Zu combo better than Gopher, who went from the Atma to an 845 amp, that I am pretty sure provided even more tonal density. I was coming from SS amps and with the 6SN7s I used (Black Treasures, RCA, and a couple others) I had tonal density that I was very pleased with. But it is always going to be a matter of personal preferences and system synergy.

A great combo, if that combo matches well with your prefs as a listener.

Spiritofmusic,

OT, but what $600 balanced power unit did you purchase? And did you plug your amps into this or keep them straight to the wall?

And how are you liking the sound of those shiny Def 2s? Have I missed impressions that you've posted?

I'd swap 'em. More important to have left and right matched instead of top and bottom

Morgan, The Psvane MkII is the grey colored tube? How do you like it? I haven't been able to find much info on the Grey MkIIs, nor many sellers of the MkIIs.

I differed with Gopher on the Atmas with Soul Superflys. I thought they were a great combo. But I was coming from the SS First Watt world, and wanted to retain some of the First Watt qualities while getting the benefits of a tube sound as well. Gopher went to the big ole 845 tubes, IIRC. So personal prefs will come into play here.

If possible, I'd try to compare the big bottle SET tubes with an OTL design.

+1 to the last comment. In a big way. At some point it is all about hearing something in your system and seeing how it meshes with your room, equipment and preferences. Let us know how it all turns out.
