To some it may sound much better than the Ayre unit, if it does then the money was well spent. The Modwright OPPO 105 sounds fantastic and is a genuine ... | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Allie,Your Zu DEF IV speakers will be a much easier load to drive than the Spendors. I don't know the quality of the transformers, power supply and part quality of your previous 300b amplifier. I can attest to the high level of these components... | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,Jordan has offered very insightful impressions and expressed himself well.He has the unique opprotunity to use a high quality 845 and also a 300b SET amplifier. His reference point is solid as he has much experience with OTL and SS amps for... | |
