| New belt for Michell Gyro SE? The new factory belt is slightly different in the crossection than the belt that came on my 10 year old SE unit. Avoid non-factory replacement belts. | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence AfcI have a Zu 5.0 system with Credenzas for the left and right fronts, Zu center and Zu surrounds. My sub is a Velodyne SPL 1200. The speed and blending with the Zu speakers is very good. I used to use the 8" Velodyne model but the 12" is a much ... | |

| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition If you are unable to listen at the suggested distance, you might consider the Presence or the Essence. If your room is small and you crave low bass, the Presence should couple to the room less. The Essence does not go as low.Like the Definitions, ... | |

The BW could track these with minimum stylus wobble. The 'Denon 103 of some designation' was probably a 103D with an elliptical ... | |

The Bass Station helps but does solve the bass issues in this room. I have a 7.1 system in a 16 * 25 room with no treatments and do not have the bass is... | |

| Cost Efficiency of 7.1 analog The new Oppo Blu-Ray player is supposed to have 7.1 analog outputs. The 300 and 600 series Arcam receivers have good sound. I would bypass the video switching in the receiver and use a learning remote to sync the audio and video. HDMI compatibilit... | |
