Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp
What a pleasant chap you are! 
Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp
Thanks. I have no plans to roll the tubes for quite a while. This is my first piece of tube equipment ever - unless you count my parents' old console stereo from the '60s. I think I'll enjoy the tube sound for a while before I experiment. By the w... 
ModWright SWL 9.0 SE vs Supratek Syrah Chenin
Anyone? 
New tube preamp
Slaw, Have you heard the Modwright 9.0 SE hybrid? If so, how does it ocmpare with the Audible Illusions? 
Anyone else here running Flying Moles?
The best thing to me is that I got them for free as part of a promo deal along with the Druids. Since they were free I was not averse to tinkering with them (who am I kidding, I would have done it anyway!). The mods I made served to lower the alre...

Hello??? Does this mean I'm the only Flying Mole customer? 
Help me with Speakers Now plz.
Get Zu Druids and never look back! $2800 with a 60 day money-back guarantee. Your musical tastes are similar to mine, and they sound great cranked up with a digital source and SS amplification (the stereo is cranked up, not me). But the beauty is ...

Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu
The first line of my above post was cut off somehow, but yes, I heard both the Salk HT3 and the Zu Druid. Unfortunately, this was not side by side in the same room, but was on the same afternoon with the same music selections. The Salk was kindly ... 
Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu
and I bought the Druids. The Salks sounded very good, but lacked the jump factor of the Druids - really explosive dynamics on music like electric blues, and electronica. On classical I think there was less difference. Overall, for $1200 less, the ... 
Salk HT3 vs VAS VR4jr
I auditioned the Salk HT-3 versus the Zu Druids and the Druids won! Hands down more alive sounding, and $1,200 cheaper. 
Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers?
I'll chime in on the side of the Druid-lovers. I've had mine for ~3 months, and my wife often has to pry me away from them to get on with the rest of my life. I start to listen to one song, and the next thing I know, it's 4 hours later. I run them...
