| Zu Soul Superfly Zanon,No, I meant what I said. Which wasn't that a 3db - 6db difference in channel balance doesn't matter to me, or you or many other people here but that there are plenty of folks in the non-audiophile music-focused crowd that either don't notice... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>...and people who say 3-6db difference between left and right channel make no difference, and toe-in (for massively directional HF speakers) makes no difference.<<Now, Zanon. I don't think we had anyone in this thread say any of thos... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>If you check with 213Cobra he will agree with the musicality of an EL-34 amp.<<Yup. No doubt. Takes me back. I ran a pair of Dyna Stereo 70s strapped as ~70w monoblocks 35 years ago, when you could still buy Stereo 70 kits new and re... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>is there an amp i can find here in the $500-$800 range that can power my Soul's? i agree that my cambridge 540 and HK 3490 are lacking in the lower midrange/bass arena.<<Make the best deal you can on an NAD integrated amp in that pri... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>So, you will see people complaining about dynamics when, in fact, they are running them with flea amps and Zus, while sensitive, are simply not that sensitive. Maybe horns will work with 2W SET. Not Zus.<<I've had 2w 45 and 2a3 amps ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>Maybe music lover who cannot be bothered with setup is actively listening to music where actual sound is not so important. Again, I wonder why they bother buying $2000 speakers.<<There's more to music enjoyment for many people than a... | |
| Denon 103r ???? >>But a line contact rattling in the groove due to improper setup or too-low VTA will wreak havoc in the groove.<<No edit function here after posting. I meant to type, "...or too-low VTF..." | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>Biggest potential dissappointment with Zu Speakers is that it does not have HF extension, and so does not create hi-fi "air" "detail" "pin-point imaging" etc.<<Hmmm. The supertweeter goes out to 25kHz before roll-off. The original Dr... | |
| Denon 103r ???? >>Increasing the arm's effective mass would theoretically lower these resonant points further - not necessarily desirable IMO, as they are already on the lower side of ideal.<<Correct. But the Uwe body makes the whole cartridge much he... | |
| Denon 103r ???? >>Geometry class is still in session.<<Perhaps so, but that's not how SRA is referenced. It's not relative to the plane of the record surface. It's referenced relative to deviation from a true vertical line, said vertical line being 0.... | |
| Audiophile speakers that rock well A Zu Soul Superfly takes up only 1 square foot of floor space and is only 39" tall. It takes up no more, and sometimes less, space than monitors on proper stands.It scales to stadium rock and full symphonic music on 20 - 40w, but can handle a mega... | |
| Denon 103r ???? >>I'm sure you know this....it gets repeated ad nauseam on this and other forums....but Denon specs their cartridge compliances at 100Hz - not the 10Hz typical of most manufacturers. The 103R has a compliance at 10Hz of around 9cm/dyne - may... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>I'm curious about the flaws of this $1700 speaker.<<No one has heard the base version yet. Only the Superfly upgrade, $2600, has been shipped so far. A limited number were sold at an intro price of $1800.I haven't heard the perfect s... | |
| Denon 103r ???? >> People are clearly misunderstanding what VTA even is, and how it achieves the proper stulus rake angle. I have to question your set-ups if you don't realize this.<<Stylus Rake Angle (SRA) is commonly referenced relative to the true ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>Are there any particularly good inexpensive amps you've heard with Zus?<<Yes. EL84 tube amps are a surefire success. If your room is small enough, the Almarro A205 is only 5/5w SEP, but sounds irrationally good. Sophia Baby. Glow amp... |
