| Zu Soul Superfly >>What is the appropriate height for the Superflys?<<Hard to say what's going on without knowing more about your overall situation. Soul is intended to be fairly insensitive to floor gap; generally no user adjustment needed. In setting... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >> I did not get the "more planted" sound that Phil refers to, my bass was just even more eaten.<<Right, you won't. Druid and Soul are different. Soul has tall spikes and the finger vents in the bottom are insensitive to floor gap, unl... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I've been using mostly tube and occasionally Class A ss amps continually since buying my first component amp in 1970. Other than advising anyone to keep such an amp away from the HVAC thermostat, I've never had an amp put out enough heat to determ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>I have spikes coming from Zu, hopefully tomorrow but am wondering if I should just place it on some 13x13 mdf with the hard floor footers.<<I don't recommend this. It's better to have the speaker on an MDF or other material tile on c... | |
| Tandberg TR-2080 FM STEREO lights up ? The "FM Stereo" light will only illuminate if you've picked up an FM Stereo station with sufficient strength for it to be received as stereo. If you have poor signal strength, it may pick up the station but revert to mono, and that light won't ill... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>Enjoy playing with your amps and preamps. And cables.<<Well, I've made no changes in preamps, amps or cables in five years, and that's for two complete Zu/SET systems. I did upgrade my Druids to 4-08 parts and I traded in my Definiti... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>Placement and room is how your low MF, upper bass, and bass will sound, regardless of amps.<<Nope, don't agree. Especially with tube amps the range of driver control has a large effect on the full spectrum of low-frequency sound. Lot... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly My basic position is that Zu Soul is a "very big tent" speaker. A huge range of people can / will find satisfaction with it. I also take the position that with Zu FRD speakers, the most important decision after buying the speakers is the amp to dr... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>It seems you are dead set on setting up potential Soul owner for disappointment. I cannot dissuade you. There is no tone without proper alignment, it is dead. And I will not honor your "loud preamp" argument with response. If you want dead... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>... I don't believe many of us actually put the work in...I actually broke out the laser ...<<Funny. I'm tearing down both of my Zu systems tonight as I'm having custom maple tables delivered for my gear, and the laser is on the coff... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>A non-audiophile music lover should stick with their 128kb mp3 and their ipod earbuds. Not that they need my encouragement to do this, as they are doing it already.<<This is the surest way to make sure hi-fi dies as a discrete intere... | |
| CineMag SUT I use a Bob's Devices Cinemag SUT, among other transformers, with Denon 103 and Ortofon SPU cartridges. The Cinemag has quite an objective sound, not dark nor florid, but harmonically rich and tonally correct. I have Koetsu and EAR transformers, a... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I can't say how well Rawson clones or emulates the sonic character of Red Wine. I've heard Red Wine and other various Class D architectures on Zu speakers. In Red Wine's case, the sound is very smooth and listenable, certainly preferable to many f... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>PHIL: Non-audiophile people who don't notice and don't care are probably better served by $500 polks or $100 speakers available at any garage sale than $2000 Souls. Anyone who cares enough about sound to spend for the Souls really should c... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I haven't heard the Tiny Triode monoblocks on Zu, but I would proceed with confidence. I have yet to hear an EL84 amp not sound musical powering the Zu FRD. Within its power limits, for example, the very modest Almarro A205 single-ended EL84 embar... |
