| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? I was running the PX-25 with my Essence before getting the Jota. It is a great amp and matched the speakers very, very, well. For my rather larger room, I found that it ran out of gas (6 wpc) for me on challenging pieces. The reason I got the Jota... | |
| The downward spiral..... Very timely thread... I too found myself on the "downgrade" slope, but having applied all the knowledge and lessons learned from previous systems, my current system provides me with more musical enjoyment than I've ever accomplished before in my r... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? I'm Having fantastic results with Art Audio's High Current Jota amp. It's a 20-24 wpc SET amp, and this thing has the power and finesse to drive my Zu Essence effortlessly. Great, musical combination! | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Morganc... very interested in your thoughts about how the 845-based Carissa plays with your Omen Defs! Please keep us posted! | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Thanks Phil... I should have mentioned that the amp I amp looking for needs to be an integrated amp, or at least a pseudo-integrated, which has an attenuator. I do like 845s! Before the Art Audio PX-25, I had a pair Art Audio Quartet monoblocks, w... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Has anybody paired (or heard) a Viva (Solista or Solista LT) or one of the Mastersound amps with the Zu Essence?? I'm leaning towards one of these, and want to be in the 18-20 wpc SET family of amps.My Art Audio PX-25, a superb amp in it's own rig... | |
| best speakers for wyred 4sound sti- 500 Have to agree with Mapman... The Ohms sound very, very good with Wyred amps. I currently have a pair of the Ohm 2000s and an ST-500 in a secondary system. Great, musical match. | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers .... And a 3rd for Kuma's in Chicago! Last time I had the "Slayer". Took me three days to finish! My #1 in Chgo. #2 and #3 would probably be Ram Brewery and Montana Ted's. | |
| Good partner amp for Egglestonworks Anda II When I owned my pair of the Andra IIs, I had very good luck and great sound running a BAT VK-500 (w/ BATPAK) and a pair of DCCA power cables. It is a very nice, musical combination as long you can deal with the BAT weight and heat! | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? Mboldda1, I recently bought the Goldenjack attenuators from Iain in the UK (the -14dB version), and they allowed me to do away with my preamp and the set of ICs. They are very transparent, and allowed me to maximize the use of my DACT attenuator o... | |
| What PC do you use... Fusion Enchanter on my PS300! | |
| Best current EL34 tubes Another vote for the SED Winged C EL34s. Note, these are not Svetlanas. | |
| Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers? Rockdanny, I get away with using the 50 wpc monoblocks on my Andras, and that's without using any filters. I sure don't see why you couldn't run the 70 wpc tube amps. I can't quantify how much load is relieved, but the Esotar tweeter and Morel mid... | |
| Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers? I am extremely happy with my Andra I speakers (only 86 db) coupled with Art Audio Quartets (845 tubes, 50wpc). OK, so I have to cheat a little; I added two small but quick Martin Logan Depth i subs crossed at 45Hz to get the lowest couple octaves,... | |
| EL34 Lovers? Dodd's 120 Monoblocks when I owned them, prior to switching to an amp with 845 tubes (Art Audio Quartets). The Dodds had great control over the speakers' drivers, while maintaining that tube magic in the form of a huge holographic soundstage and p... |
