Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Keithr,That`s a great plan! I`d love the opprotunity to hear what these various amplifiers have to offer.I hope you can pull this off.This would be a lot of fun.Regards,

Glory,Validation from a reviewer is at the end of the day just another person`s opinion. You can find 'rave' reviews on any number of amplifiers(including my Coincident, just anothrer point of view). If the ASR is the best you`ve owned thus far th...

Or another possibility,Phil system is revealing the true character of the ASR. One perspective is as plausible as the other.For those who prefer the ASR amp why does it matter so much that some don`t hear it as you do? In phil`s system the Audion ... 
Cable Upgrade: Too much transparency
I don`t believe you can have such a thing as'too much transparency'. Forward,edgy or brightness can be mistaken for false transparency . True transparency IMO means the elimination of a 'veil' or blanket effect in your system.You want as little ob...

I imagine that Allnic L5000 DHT linestage sounds fantastic.Regards, 
Will a tube setup sound good for all music ?
Very general question(hugh range of tube amps to consider). Rrog is right it will depend on the speaker match,if proper amp/speaker combo you can play and enjoy any genre of music you desire.Regarding bass,there`re many variables involved, some pe...

Spirit,It seems you have built a truly excellent system,congratulations! Without question you`ll get numerous opinions regarding which power amp is better for your system.The ASR does seem to be overkill power(on paper anyway) yet I don`t doubt gl...

Spiritofmusic,Will it be possible for you to actually compare these amplifiers in your system? I`d think the Audion and ASR are different enough that you`ll definitely go in one direction or the other.

Markpao,Yes the Zu is amp 'friendly' but that does`nt mean all amps will sound equally good with them. I`d think the Def IV has enough resolving ability to sort out the attributes of individual amplifiers.Keithr has tried a fair share of amps,so f...

Glory,It`s not just amplifiers, I`m referring to audio components in general. I don`t believe more money spent = better sound all the time.Developing a good home audio system requires thought,patience, careful matching and trial and error experien... 
Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps
Hi Chad, I understand your point,but even in a recording studio that enviroment is not the so called'ink black' background of silence. But really overall it`s just a minor point I had thoughts on. Ultimately what ever one desires in their audio pl... 
Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps
Chad,Does that "tomb like silence" seem natural to you? I find the 'ultra' silence or blackness artificial, as no background is that quiet(like outer space vacuum). I believe tube background ambience is the more realistic one in nature. Just an op... 
Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps
Well `I`m off to see jazz trombonist Delfaeyo Marsalis who`s in town for a few days. This jazz club acoustic instrument venue will always be my reference point.I wish more high end designers would model their sound/components to mimic this type of... 
Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps
This thread has been very interesting and thought provoking. I believe the Frist Watt SIT amp is an exceptional product and genuine achievement. I also believe it will out perform many SET amplifiers,It all depends on one`s reference point and pas... 
Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps
Chad,Noise is`nt an issue in my system at all.With your 107db sensitive speakers(mine are 94 db) It could be. As to expense, yes my Takatsuki 300b pair is very expensive. Their perforformance is extraordinary! and I`d continue to buy them again in...
