| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh, I literally laughed out loud reading thisnow I did...Oy veh, as my old (and dead) Jewish grandma use to say...lol...I have the same reaction to some of my stream-of-conscious ramblings when re-reading them. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warren, I agree...the piano is a powerfully communicative instrument. Along with Oscar Peterson, I'd add Dave Brubeck and Count Basie to the list of my favorites. If you want to hear an amazing performance, get a copy of "Horowitz in Moscow". Vlad... | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh - I'm listening to a 24/96 version of the Koln Concert. It is not necessarily a "good" recording, however, usually, it is possible for me to get past the flaws and appreciate the performance for what it is...brilliant. Yes, his sing alongs... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup One other listening note from last night...it may have been an artifact of new tubes, if that indeed turns out to be true, but within the first hour of listening to the Audions I heard a "phasey" annoying brightness on certain piano recordings. Sp... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Charles1dad wrote...I`m curious how the Audion and Coincident compare in resolution,tonality and nuance(particularly with the use of your EML mesh 300b)I've had a change of heart (or the sound qualities changed) on the EML mesh 300B. I pulled them... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Just a quick update...the Audion's arrived yesterday evening. Wow...when Sean said they'd be packed well (non original boxes) he wasn't kidding. I'm not sure that even a determined Kim Jong Un and his belligerent Army would be able to damage these... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warren - glad to hear you're enjoying your Mk4's. They are special music makers. BTW, soon, I will be able to definitively (FOR ME) determine the best amplifier path for the Def Mk4's. Ok, maybe that is a little ambitious and hyberbolic. I've been... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Holly - I leave mine on all the time. I did this with my prior Def Mk1.9's and I do the same with my DefMk4. No worries. | |
| Help me decide, please I've lived with a lot of amps over the years, solid state and tube. If I hadn't made the move to high sensitivity speakers I would have never given up my Clayton M200's. They were the best solid state amp I'd heard...power, control, nuance and alw... | |
| Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse I owned the Avalon Eclipse in the past and they do have something special about them. Properly set up and with the right equipment and source material, they were truly holographic. I actually sold them to my brother at a deep discount just to keep... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Vetterone - that's some great gear! What kind of mods were done to your Franks? I've been using them with my Def Mk4's for about 2.5 weeks as well. They have some special qualities. Did you use the Allnic DHT with both the SIT's and the Franks? | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil - you mentioned in an earlier post of the 6SN7 driven Sophia 845 not having enough drive or something to this effect and that the 6SN7 was not up to the task. I'm totally clueless on this sort of thing, but it looks like the Black Shadows use... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Good points all around. I tried my best to clarify my opinions and the context from which they were formed. Rarely, are we so lucky as to have all combinations of gear available at the same time and in the same room. Equally rarely I would say are... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup There is a key point in my earlier post: equal clarity in a higher power amp yields different impressions than higher power of inferior clarity. The Franks clip gracefully and deliver more information than the Sophia 845. I believe this quote from... |
