| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING I am the person who introduced the idea of using 6922/ecc88 family tubes in mhdt DACs, in the head-fi forum. As stated you need an adapter. I took a flyer on the idea after experimenting with every 5670 compatible variant tube. There were certainl... | |
| Name 3 classic mini-monitors worth keeping- Why? I have had most of the great small monitors over the last 45 years: LS3/5a, Double LS3/5a, Braun Output-C, KEF 101, Celestion SL6, Spica, ProAc Tablette, Reference 3a mm de Capo, Silverline SR-16, and I must be forgetting one or two more. Any of t... | |

| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV Is this problem now resolved? -Phil | |
| Zu Druid 6 No doubt that Druids + Submissions will make the initial impression of being altogether badass. Living with that over time and a full spectrum of music can be another matter. But it depends what drives your perception of convincing musicality. Or ... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Some catchup:Our brainless administration's dumb trade war with China has slowed shipping of my last couple of custom amps. I expected them earlier this month but now it will be sometime in June. Shortly after I get them I will complete my amps su... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Which Whammerdyne? Would you spend the cash for the Parallel Single Ended model? I'm guessing not.I haven't heard the Whammerdyne. And I have only an academic interest in it because a 2a3 SET amp just doesn't have enough shove, even for 101db/w/m ... | |
| Zu Druid 6 I'm happy it's been helpful to you and others. More coming. -Phil | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV If I can get detailed answers to the questions I raised a few posts back, I might have more suggestions. -Phil | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV Yes, you should solve grounding problems. You're hearing hum through the Radian compression tweet? That's strange. No, the Zu Def power cables aren't introducing ground loop hum. But you probably have induced some ground loops in your system conne... | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV Keep in mind, the sub amp is a Class D, with relatively low consumption requirements, and the amp has limited frequency duties in this application. You have far more influential opportunities elsewhere in the system to strive for more objective so... | |

Definitions well exceed that, so the isolating compound may not as effective under greater mass.An alternative that is effective for me is from Herbie's Audio L... | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV Also, by the way, David: To remove your sub amps, note that the Speakon connector there is flange surrounding the connector itself. Start by removing the screws from the Speakon flange. The Speakon connector and its wiring harness stay with the De... | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV Definition 4 setup uses less toe-in than Def 1.5 and Def 2 in every room where I have heard both. Particularly in a relatively near-field situation. Both the Radian supertweeter and the FRD have broader dispersion than the respective drivers in t... | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV David,I was able to speak with Sean Casey this morning. Your Def4s definitely are early enough to have to original lower-gain sub amps. You have s/n 007/008; I have s/n 009/010. You have three options, one of which requires you spend some money.Fi... |
