| For all you McIntosh fans tzh21y,You do have some nice tubes. Had a pair of 275s back in the day, far enough back that "vintage" tubes were almost current production. MC 60s are all I need now, with ZU Def 4s they are overkill. There are some supposedly NOS Tung Sols up no... | |

| Buying Without Audition Volsfan, I too spent a lot of time looking at Salk/Murphy speakers. The SS12's were out and looked promising but ran into production problems. Jim was very open and honest as far as the different lines' attributes. Ultimately, what did you decide ... | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Anyone on this thread heard the Zanden 9500 with the Def 4s? Like the 845s but can't audition. | |
| Pls share your experience with Zu Soul or Zu in general I have both Def 4s and Omen 1Bs. Both were a little intense out of the boxes. All tube system. They could be said to be a little tizz-boom initially. Here is my take.They're clear, no smoothing of the edges speakers. Crossoverless, phase coherent ... | |
| Tube Phono Stage or Tube Integrated- help! I know of two for sure. Balanced Audio Technology VK P10 Se has around 80db gain and the Allnic H-3000 around 75db. If you look for a while you might find the BAT for 3K or a little less. Saw the Allnic on here around 6 months ago for around 4K. N... | |

| Linear arm recommendations Vote #3 for the Trans Fi. Disclaimer, if you like, I do own one. | |
| Linear Tracking Turntables - Best?? There is no getting away from anti skate's complications. Not to be adamant about LTs because once you delve into the compromises with them questions do arise. I do own a Trans Fi and the air cushion under the angled bearing, if you can call it th... | |
| System synergy or mix and match I've always had a Mac tube piece in there somewhere. Just makes the music nicer to listen to. | |
| Bi Amping Bi amp with identical amps. 2 stereo amps, or 4 identical monos. If you do otherwise you will introduce phase, frequency response variations, gain variations under different input voltages, and will never get the coherence you might otherwise achi... | |
| Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear Big Oriental Rug, Thick. Buy about 5 boxes of Owens Corning 703Mullard tubes-tone down a system like no toherDedicated lines-electricity pollution gives a frenetic edge to an otherwise nice audio signal. It probably won't matter what you do until ... | |
| non parallel walls in listening room A little late here but yes, a small variation from parallel will benefit you here. If you purposefully make the room asymmetrical to some degree nodes will be far less likely to reinforce or cancel. Alcoves of any size are bass collectors so stay ... |
