Zu Soul Superfly
The Supreme is a significant upgrade the Superfly. As Snopro says the Radian 850 is a big upgrade from the older tweeter. More open, sweeter and transparent without any hardness. I do think it's more than just the tweeter. It takes everything that... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Bboring,I 've had the Superfly and now the Superfly Supreme. I think your Rouge integrated amp will be fine using the 8 ohm tap. At 100 watts/ch the amp will be coasting. After you have had the Superfly and you think this is the combo for the long... 
LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum
Wolf, LOLJust out of curiosity, was there an inverse relationship between your cutting edge laundry concept and the ability to get a date in college?As an aside, I have the Audio desk cleaner. It does a fantastic job. I keep it in an adjoining roo... 
SP-10 Mat
Ebuzz,Herbies mat also has a home trial. I believe it's 90 days. You could order both and decide for yourself. Keep the one that best meets your needs. 
Repair of Bedini Amp
I would recommend Music Technology in Virginia. I used Bill Thalman who refurbished an SP 10 turntable for me with excellent (well jaw dropping actually) results. Bill is a minor legend in the high end community. He is their high end audio expect.... 
Bergmann Sindre
Some other ideas would be a Symposium Ultra shelf, HRS platform or SRA platform. The Vibraplane which is an air suspension device would be another choice but I like the set it and forget it kind of platforms.Good luck with your choice. 
Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight
Just to make your choice a little more difficult, you should also consider the HRS weight as well. On the VPI turntable would keep the peripheral ring regardless of what weight or clamp you choose. 
Tone arm to JC-3 interconnect
Obviously, lots of choices and opinions. FWIW, I've been using Silver Audio's Silver Breeze for many years with great results. Fast and transparent it is reasonably priced by high end standards, now in the 700-800 dollar range. Also Max Kreifeldt ... 
Audience AR 12 TS vs Tesla PowerCell 10SE Mk III
The Cable Co. used to have a library of conditioners for audition at home. You might want to call them and see if they still do this. Then you could listen for yourself and decide. If your thinking of spending this kind of money on a conditioner I... 
SP-10 Mat
I'm using the OMA carbon mat which is similar to the Boston Audio 2 only thicker and it's designed to fit the the recessed SP 10 platter exactly. Probably the best value is the Herbie's "way excellent" 2 turntable mat. They have a 4mm thick, 292mm... 
B&W 804s + Atma-Sphere M60 MkIII.2
Michel,I don't use a Zero with the S30 and the 16 ohm Zu's as the Zu's impedance appears ideal for the S30. However there is a body of thought that it might sound better still thru a Zero at 2x looking at an impedance of 32 ohms. I'm happy with my... 
B&W 804s + Atma-Sphere M60 MkIII.2
Per the B&W web site the impedance goes down to 3 ohms. Power wise the M60 sounds like it would be fine. However, the 3 ohm impedance could be a problem. The way around this would be a Zero auto former (anti cables.com) which is placed between... 
Tannoy or JBL
Just my 2 cents, but if your thinking of spending this kind of money for this kind of speaker you really should take a look at Classic Audio's T1 or T3. For the price of the JBL you could have the T 1.4 with all field coil drivers (big difference)... 
Zu Essence upgrade kit - worthwhile?
I upgraded my Soul Superfly's to the nano driver. Defiantly worth doing and remember you get 200 dollars back when you send back the old driver's.Also agree that the upgrade is easy to do. They even have a video demonstration available on the Zu w... 
tube amp goes with coincident total victory ii ??
I owned Total Victory 1's for several years, using an Atma-sphere S30. The S 30 can drive them easily and sounds great. Transparent, holographic and lightning fast. I preferred the S30 to the Cary 805. I have not heard Coincident's own amps.As you...
