| Upgrade Amp or Speaker for 2 channel? Not trying to be a wise guy, but why don't you first measure the acoustic qualities of your room and correct them before buying any new gear? The best gear in the world will sound like crap in a bad room. Those high ceilings will always act like a... | |
| Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2. Yeah, as Elizabeth said, it would help to know why those you mentioned don't work. Have never heard the Montanas, but from what I've read, they're killers. When you get them paired up with the proper amp, you should have a monster set-up. | |
| Rack : I need your help Maple shelving has worked very well for me. My room is carpet over plywood above the garage, so the floors aren't the sturdiest thing going. It vibrates when you walk across it. With the Steve Blinn rack, the anti-vibe feet and maple platforms are... | |
| Tube Single Ended Triode Questions?? You can get big power SET's, but you'll pay a hefty price for them. All are of the parallel single ended design you mentioned. KR's various manifestations of the Kronzilla using the 1610 output tube can produce a lot of power, as does the Cary 161... | |
| Dumb question? WHAT IS YOUR SEAT/ CHAIR? I have a nice soft recliner that I can easily fall asleep in. It's soft fabric, so I don't know how that affects the sound. Is well padded, but I can definitively say that when I recline, the sound is much different than when upright. Seems intuit... | |
| JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5 I've had zero problems getting my JL to disappear. It integrates seamlessly.Whatever brand you get, plan on getting two. Maybe not now, but down the road. Two will integrate much better, there will be less resonance issues and so forth. Jim Smith ... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? If you think a 12 ohm impedance throws some people off, look at the quick comparison chart for Dominance, which is coming out in January. It's user switchable, and can be set to 48 ohms. Not a typo there- FORTY EIGHT! What stinking tap do you use ... | |
| New Zu Mission cable I've switched entirely from Libtec to Mission. Just as good, if not better. Check out the new Zu site. Can't wait to see what's up with The Dominance, "starting" in the low 40K range. OUCH! Premiers at Las Vegas CES in January. | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? @Atmasphere- have you listened to the Zu Essence with your gear? Thoughts on that match? | |
| SET amp recommendations for Zu Definition II's The Frankensteins will also run closer to 6K than 5K. If you go that route, you should strongly consider the upgrade to the Shuguang Treasure 300B tube, which puts it at about 5999. With that kind of money invested, going with the better tube is p... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? The Omens will crank with that tube amp. Use the 16 ohm tap. | |
| SET amp recommendations for Zu Definition II's Schw, the Mastersound 845 amps are excellent. Lots of grunt. The Conincident Frankensteins are crystal clear. Both are great choices. I'd echo what Glory said. Sean Casey at Zu currently has my Mastersound Compact 845 on loaner duty. He'd probably... | |
| First tube integrated amp How much are you willing to spend? That's the first important question to answer. | |
| New Zu Mission cable Worked well with my JL Fathom. Cut the background hum significantly. | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? I may have "decreased" my power requirements some, but that's changing....bought a brand new Ayon Triton a few weeks back. It's at a friend's house in Rochester being broken in. I am in no rush to get it, since I have the Franks on hand...but when... |
