Zu Soul Superfly
Gemini,I committed to the purchase of the Melody AN211 and coincidentally the person buying my MK88 is the owner of a pair of Soul Superflys with nanotec drivers, so maybe he will chime in as to the pairing.I was looking at the prices to get gear ... 
$3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers?
I committed with my dealer to buy the Melody AN211. Thanks guys! 
Zu Soul Superfly
I'm really partial to the Melody gear and Zu speakers. I'm using an MK88 (KT88 push pull that is surprisingly beautiful) right now and am hoping to buy an AN211 as a potential 'destination' amp with my Def 2s (nanotec drivers on order).Given you a...

After several months of ownership I have come to the conclusion that, although this amp sounds great with smaller amps, they love some extra power.I recently started using a Redgum RGi120 ENR amplifier with it and things really opened up nicely. T...

Awesome, Morgan! I am really hoping my speakers sell quickly so I can try to work something out on buying one. That is what I really want right now.Which tubes did you roll? The 12ax7, 5u4g or the weird ones I've never heard of?

Roscoe--my curiosity is fully piqued. Thats a solid fall back to my AN211. Do you know where any reviews are? there then some musings about the larger 845 amp used with Devore speakers and a review on their headamp, I'm coming up with little.

Yes I run black treasure kt88s in my unit. I was contemplating trying some of the cryoed shuguangs as well but I think i want to move to SET.LM has piqued.my curiosity a few times and it appears they are a legitimate contender. Do you know if remo... 
new Triode Wire Labs rave review at StereoTimes
I agree with Bander. I wasn't a huge fan of the originals, but have outfitted all but a single component in my current rig with his cords. REALLY good value and a great guy behind the product.

I will say my strongest leaning and what I'm saving pennies for is the AN211. I think with the right tube compliment it would likely satisfy me (I own a Melody KT88 now and love their gear).I had the Torii 3 with a pair of Zu Soul Superfly speaker... 
Zu Soul Superfly
From the 30 minutes or so I spent in front of them I'll say the nanotecs are a very worthwhile upgrade for the Superfly. My Superflys never had the level of resolution and refinement the new driver did. Staging also seemed a lot bigger--overall it...

Markpao,I'm not sure the MKIII made sense for my needs. Given I'm already at MK2 status, I have the same tweeter they'd use and my paint is mint so the main differences are: - newer subwoofer amps; - additional internal bracing/deadening of the sp... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Could someone clarify:Is the MK3 an actual speaker for sale or is it JUST an upgrade path for owners of prior defs? If it is a standalone speaker they build and ship for $7500, doesn't that kinda kill resale of prior Definitions as well as call in...

My thoughts at the moment are that it would take a very compelling speaker or an abysmal, unworkable room to move me from team Zu again. These speakers are so harmonically complete, meaty, and tonally saturated while being wonderfully transparant.... 
Best sub $750 usb cable
Lads,You made a solid choice. I have a wywires handling every signal in my system (including USB and SPDIFs) and they are really an exceptional product. The USB in particular would be very difficult to better. 
Sablon Audio Cables
Not the TWL 7+ but I have a Gran Corona on my tube integrated and TWL cables everywhere else in my system (two 8s, a 10 and a twelve) and I generally prefer the TWL cables by a small but relevant margin. Better tone and more organic and just as qu...
