| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Dave - how do you manage to place the Def4's on the Sistrum sp-101 stand? Is there a stable and large enough surface on the bottom plinth to allow placement on the 3 spikes? It seems it could be a bit unhealthy for the sub if its misplaced or knoc... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Glory agreed re: Atma-Sphere amps. Ive owned the MA1 MkII.2 ~8 years ago and liked them for what they did. I upgraded to the MA1 MkIIIs (after a brief run with high power SS, Parasound JC1s) and loved the added finesse and a touch of sweetnes... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Wow this thread has been all around this world to borrow a Grateful Dead song title. I could say the same for the 2 months just passed since I received my DefIVs. I wont bore you with the non audio related and only a little on the non- Zu Def ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Definition Mk IV's are in the house!! First listen (without a minute of burnin) showed great potential; however, they have a tightness that is not natural (burnin issue I assume?). I had been doing a great deal of listening to my previous Mk1.9's ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? KeithR, have you experimented with 6SN7's in the Sophia's to eliminate the slight midrange glare? How are they sounding with the Def's?Thanks | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Keithr, you mentioned Sophia's "latest chassis". Have they changed the "form factor" from wider and shallow to narrower and deeper? Thanks! | |

I know you have already done that experiment, but...Well...I was fully in your camp on this issue several year... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Keithr, do the Sophia's still use the 206 driver tube? Are the amps tube rectified or SS...do you have an opinion on the differences between the two? Having a difficult time finding up to date info on the Sophia's. Thanks! | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Keithr wrote: The amps are the only ones I've heard that do strings as well as Shindo--which says something. SET spooky midrange of course is there. Only negative thus far is a bit of midrange glare, which I believe is Chinese tube related. Have a... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? SpiritofMusic, when do you expect your Def4's and when do you plan to audition the Audion or Berning amps?Glory, thanks for the clarification...if I was on Computeraudiophile, I'd have picked it up immediately, but since so few here seem to use co... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Gopher wrote: Thanks for clarifying, I can appreciate those observations. Interestingly, I'm using a Melody KT88 integrated myself these days which I like, but it is cleaner, more linear tube then the 300B, imo.One thing I have overlooked is that ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Glory wrote: Atma amp moved me closer to real live music than any of the SET amps I had in my system. The MH 8 is a great dac.Agreed on MH LIO-8. I've only experimented with the Melody 300B SET mono's and, at least in direct comparison to the Atma... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >Gopher wrote: That was the area to my ears atma was weakest. Transparency, resolution, low bass extension--I'll concede those things.I use the M60's and if you read carefully I said the "Zu/Atma system" moved me in that direction, not Atma al... | |

| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >Charles1dad - "In your case OTL seems to fit your desires, for Phil and myself SET is preferred"<To this point, OTL has been my preference on appropriate speakers; however, in fairness, I have only tried one SET with the Zu's in my room. Th... |
