what amps mate well with Zu Definition

tvad, that's an idea I never thought of. I do them raw, but toasted? Sounds great to me. My wife is a big pesto lover: we'll give that a try. Basil harvest is in about two weeks for us. thanks..

That would be like substituting parsley for basil, don't ya think? The greatness of pesto is the simplicity and individual character of those basic few ingredients. I'm not a big pesto fan, anyway. A little rich for me, so the wine may do it for me. But it isn't pesto. Kind of like, chocolate covered Oreos. There's only one. Whatever you do to it makes it less than....I'm rambling: The audiogongormet web-site. Can we start something?

I'm using 18 SET watts per, and there is no going back to SS for this audiophool. Holographic--in a nut shell. There should be some info in the 'gon archives, as well. Maybe not ear bleed levels, but (very)loud enough for me...

I purchased the Audion Sterling Premier from 213Cobra. He furnished it with KR KT88s. Now them are some serious tubes. He had used that baby with his Druids and (I believe) his Definitions before upgrading to some more serious tubes.

"I haven't enjoyed my music in years since buying the Definitions." I couldn't agree with you more Hifimaniac. In fact, the last time a system did what my rig is doing now, was way back in my Magnaplanar Tympani 1D days, with bridged amps, Audio Research Pre and some things called LPs...I'm having a ball..I would have never thought that I'd become a tuber. SET no less...

lol...hardly..just finished biking 20 miles after doing a mile swim in the bay...now off to the garden...Are you loving your new Defs?

Macrojack, are ya fool'n wit me? I got ya. I do the Sunday Times Crossword, ya know...lol..BTW, the secret to killer pesto, besides (of course) fresh basil?-- the olive oil. Go for the gusto: first pressing--extra virgin, at the least...

Reggiano: 100 percent for me. Ooolala. Peter Lugar sauce and their Porterhouse for two: doesn't get much better than that, especially at the Lugars by the Williamburg Bridge. And sides to die for...
Also, I would prefer my pine nuts toasted in the oven (or toaster oven) with no added oil to interact with the pine nut chemistry. Enough oil in the pine nut to allow a toasting marvel, I would think. Doing them in the pan is not really toasting them, nor is the flavor that comes from that anything like toasting. Don't want to be picky, but that be my (last)gastronomic take...promise

The Zu Defs do fine with any wine...from Boones Farm to Montrachet...

"is there any other? Not in my book"---yes, there's the Peter Lugars in Manhasset. Same, but different location. Drop dead amazing. The one by the Williamsburg Bridge is the original. Lugars in Manhasset is easier for beach bums and the like.

I get ya with the pine nuts. will definately give it a try next time around...
