| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh I've had about 10-12 different Mac components over the years and currently run a pair of MC60s with Zu Definition 4s and it sums up what I'm looking for in my music listening world. I've had other brands but the Mac stuff sounds better to me. | |
| New power cords for Vintage amps Delayed here but many thanks. They look ok so just kept them as is. | |

| When is your Hifi good enough? When it's ten at night, the lights are out,[the little LEDs on the equipment and the tubes on my Mac MC60s are enough]-and I don't have to get up the next day. I don't have an uber expensive system, but it blows me away. Good enough! | |

| best value current production tonearm I have one. About two years here. Simple. Anyone can make something complex. Got the Salvation TT. I can't imagine wanting anything else for spinning vinyl. | |
| Has anyone matched a pair of Zu Omens (2010 no upgrades) with a Peachtree Grand X1 amp? I have a set of Omen 1Bs matched with a Peachtree receiver. For the money hard to beat. Very dynamic and revealing, very good bass. | |
| Does such a speaker exist? Look at the Zu Def 1V. There are two or three reviews. Active bass, very efficient, amp friendly. You're welcome to stop by for a listen. | |
| Zu Definition 4 height? With my Def 4s I worked them around quite a bit to optimize . Ended up on Sistrum Apprentice Stands and it took a few weeks, but dialed in they just really satisfy me. I think the gap ends up at about 3".Every room is different but with the down f... | |
| StarSound Sistrum racks Star Sound is definitely onto something Tom. For me it's been like when I added my Balanced Power Technologies Conditioner. Gave the music more coherence. I'm sure other technologies have merit but grounding, to me, makes sense. | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It If when you switch to digital, get tired of listening, switch back to vinyl and sit there for three hours enjoying yourself. That could be a factor. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup As much as some will want to describe a sound only your ears will give you an adequate description.My best would be immediate and powerful. But a lot will depend on your amplification and your room. I've been working on my room pretty intently and... |
