| My new ZU Omen Def's arrived The Torii is a nice mate to the Zus, you'll eventually be pleased with that combo.One inexpensive pointer for now. Buy some of the Herbies threaded gliders in place of the factory spikes. It will make playing with placement much easier and is itse... | |
| Pioneer S-3EX vs. Von Schweikert VR 33 I've been meaning to, but my listening area is also my living room where my young son plays. One of these days I'll collect up his toys and snap a couple pics. I do need a nice rack to show case some of the attractive gear like my Melody and Kuzma... | |
| Pioneer S-3EX vs. Von Schweikert VR 33 I haven't heard the Pioneer, but the Rogue Cronus Magnum was a very good match for the VR33s. I drive mine with either a 32 watt Class A Melody MK88 or a 155 watt (actually 200+) Solid State Redgum RGi120ENR. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? For the time being, yes.In many ways I miss the Zu sound, but they were uglier, more intrusive in my living space and really difficult to set up right. I don't care how many people claim Zu speakers are easily setup--they're wrong, it takes a lot ... | |
| integrated amp suggestions solid state At $4k new and a fraction used a Redgum RGi120ENR should be considered. Best ss stuff I've heard--I've preferred it to Pass and Plinus. | |
| Redgum amplifiers I adore the Redgum integrateds. I have owned the RGi35, RGi120 and presently own an RGi120 enr. I've heard a lot of competent solid state, but the red gums do it for me like no other ss and many tubes fail to. They have an extremely good synergy w... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? I ended up buying the vons, no thanks to this miserable thread, and they are very nice, lifestyle friendly speakers. They do most things right though.the imaging isnt as sharp as ive experienced, intentional design.goal, and I enjoy more lively ma... | |
| What so special about Sonic Frontiers ? I felt the same way as Shakey about their line 1 preamp. Not my cup of tea! | |
| Anyone else using the VonSchweikert vr35 speakers? Cool to read. I'm a VR-33 owner and am pretty happy with them. The only aspect of their sound I ever find myself slightly wanting in is dynamics, which has largely been mitigated by feeding them more (~200+wpc) juice with a Redgum RGi120 ENR.As fa... | |
| Best USB cable +/- $500 I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better USB cable then the Wywire Ltespeed in your price range. | |
| Suggestions for a tube integrated under $3000 What kind of power do you need? I've been enjoying the heck out of a Melody MK88 which is 32 watts of class A power. Truth be told, I think I prefer it to the Decware Torii mk3 I owned before it.I did a write up on it in the review section here. | |
| Affordable 300b Replacements For $300 you can get a pair of black treasures from goodcomponent.com ive bought from them before without issue. | |
| Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF The Cronus Magnum drove my Von Schweikert VR-33s beautifully. They're high WAF speakers being close to the wall and innoffensive in appearance. Retail exceeds your price and they don't show up used frequently, but you could luck out... I did. | |
| integrated help please In your budget I would be curious to try the Core Audio Technology level 2 all in one machine. It will have everything you need except speakers, supposedly makes cable choices and power conditioning irrelevant (I'm skeptical here) and goes for aro... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Germanboxer,Not at all. I just didn't want to come off as if I was insulting your amps. They're very good, some of the best sound I'd heard with my Zus technically. They didn't click for me emotionally, but I respect the hell out of them and am no... |
