| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Albert, the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 so be careful about accepting too many deposits now. My advice would be to go under the table and look at the pyramids. | |
| 6922 tube recommendations If your not in a hurry Andy and VTS has some great tubes available. For better pricing he has a good "lightly used" supply too. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. One needs a good dealer after reading this. | |
| Question for ARC aficionados I did own a Vsi55 at one time and was very impressed. It had a spooky holographic quality to it. I thought it had great bass but lacked slightly in soundstage and a tad in the midrange weight compared to the VAC Avatar I went to. Maybe this was sp... | |
| Question for ARC aficionados The spec's on the vsi55 and vsi60 seem identical. Did that much change in the two amps or is this the usual (and probably justified) need to make a few changes and increase to cover the costs of business. For instance the optional tube cage was $2... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly David_ten, It's interesting that you find they have more soul with pentode mode over triode. I had a VAC amp that switched between, and my preference was always triode with the Essence, Devore super 8, 9 and the various Verity speakers I tried it ... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? Daverz, I just picked up four complete Reader's Digest box sets from the swap shop at the dump. That's hundreds of hours of music right there. One set has ten albums dedicated to "Mood Music for Dining." Best thing is that that are so bad I don't ... | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K Zu Essence blows goat. Cheap Ribbon, poor integration. Devore is great but a little warm and not as transparent for my taste. BUT I have a good friend that builds $15k plus guitars and he loves Devore speakers.As Tvad said, you need to listen for ... | |

| Zu Soul Superfly I've found battery gear to be dull, boring. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of low power and have the off-grid bug in me. That said there is something missing in the less than 3k components I've heard including RWA paired with Devore Super 8's... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly One of the amps I used on the Essence was an 8 watt Luxman EL84. It powered them very well, though this amp with the ribbons on the Essence made them bright. I agree with Phil that the Essence was a mistake.Although I am critical of Zu because I h... | |
| Merlins VSM placement question Remove the spikes and place them on a heavy towel. Move them around for a while and take notes. Put the spikes back on again when you find the "best" location. Fine tune.The spikes might add 5% but really having the freedom to move them without li... | |
| Listening off grid with batteries What are the spec's of your inverter and do you have any battery backup? Having two "grids" makes no sense. The inverter makes two grids one. | |

| Zu Soul Superfly I'm glad I don't own the Zu commodity. Things are not looking good resale wise for the Essence or Druid owner. Glad I lost the $600 on the Essence while I could.The Soul gal on the website looks like an angry perfume model. Can the five preferred ... |
