| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Definition 4 overperforms at its price, relative to the market. It can be a "last speaker" for many people and is far better than most audiophiles or musicophiles will own.If you hear Dominance, you leave mentally rummaging through your house look... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >>firstly the baffle is v. wide, surely there may be diffraction effects esp. since surfaces are flat and not curved?<<Narrow and wide baffles simply present different advantages and liabilities. You'll notice that the trend for many f... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Spirit,If your location did not change since you've introduced system alterations circa 2007 and continuing, then I would have expected you to have distinctly different preferences as your combination of gear progressed.A key point here is that yo... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >>Now my direct rim drive tt/air bearing linear arm is overtaking digital again and the 2s are struggling to perform of their best.<<Spirit,I think you have to explain what you mean by this, for context.Phil | |
| 10K$ Speakers for 845 SET amplification Zu Definition 2 or 3, or stretch for Def4.There's no speaker more ideally matched to 845 SET characteristics. Next best, for a lot less cash, is Zu Omen Def or Zu Superfly. This is a case where the speaker is a true complement to the tube and the ... | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. CD/Vinyl split; both media spin each and every day.Phil | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >>The contention that just because a room has treatments that it interferes with a living space is erroneous as well. I have architecturally interesting diffusers and ceiling tiles (vs. hidden) and host a variety of events during the year. I... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >>Despite the compromises you`ve noted with phil`s room do you enjoy the music when listening there?<<If someone comes to my house and can't enjoy the music here, it's their defect, not mine. Seriously; no one has ever not enjoyed list... | |
| Zu Druid and Shindo? Of the single-FRD Zu speakers, the romantic voicing of Shindo pre & amp-lification is better suited to the compensating sonics of Zu Superfly than the older Druid, if you seek greater aural objectivity. But Druid can do nicely with Shindo if y... | |
| Psvane 845-HIFI or Shuguang 845B? >>Hard to believe nobody has compared Psvane 845-HIFI series tubes (not 845T) to Shuguang 845B since Psvane 845-HIFI have been on the market for a while. <<Frankly, with the Psvane 845-T having been disappointing, there isn't a lot of ... | |
| Mastersound Compact 845 with Pvsane 845T Patal,Unless something has been done to your amp to make it incompatible with RCA-spec 845 tubes -- and if it's running 845A, nothing has -- you can replace 845A with 845-T or 845B. It may be that if subsequently you had the bias checked, testing ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >> is the Zu Dominance more immune to room issues? Do you think it will fix things when replacing the IVs...<<I heard Zu Dominance (the only pair in existence) in the home of a very generous, friendly and questing Zu customer, with als... | |
| 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.<<A system will benefit, but the room may not cooperate if its primary purpose is living in it. I'm completely suppor... | |
| Mastersound Compact 845 with Pvsane 845T Brf, the first responder to the OP, is correct. The 845-T operates to the RCA/Amperex spec, as does the stock 845A tube, and the B. Every Mastersound Compact 845 amp I've ever seen shipped stock with the prosaic Shuguang 845A, a cheap'n'cheerful p... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >>Question for Phil: do you have any addendums to add to your room philosophy in light of recent experience with Keith and panels, etc?<<Keith has a severe first order acoustic dysfunction in a nearly square space. We couldn't take dow... |
