| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I didn't miss that--I just assumed Zu speakers were a given as part of a system as this is a Zu thread. Thanks for clarifying, I can appreciate those observations. Interestingly, I'm using a Melody KT88 integrated myself these days which I like, b... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Germanboxers,Which AS were you using? I used an S-30 with Soul Superflys and disagree strongly on the "tone density" thing.That was the area to my ears atma was weakest. Transparency, resolution, low bass extension--I'll concede those things. | |
| DAC 3-4k range I was listening to a lampizator 3 tonight with the volume control option driving an Alchemist Forsetti Signature on a pair of Daedalus Ulysses speakers and it was very competent in the volume control position. The system wasn't lacking in the ways... | |
| DAC 3-4k range My eedac was actually a bolder cable company modified unit and was quite good for the coin. The dac was extremely resolved with it's sabre32 chip but the resolution was balanced well with tone and dynamics from the tube output stage and power supp... | |
| DAC 3-4k range It would be a mistake to leave Lampizator out of your considerations. I'm listening to a level 3 with lampizator transport now and it is very good digital. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum or Conrad Johnson MV60SE...? Can't speak to the CJ, but the Rogue Cronus Magnum impressed me with my Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers. It was a friends borrowed unit, but it had a really great raw, live quality that I enjoyed. It wasn't the most refined of amps, but it was certa... | |
| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? Cfluxa,Core Audio had caught my attention with their all in one solutions. The people who have herd it seem enthusiastic, but it seems not too many have. Can you give some thoughts? | |
| Best DAC for $500 I have seen used tranquility USB dacs go for $500, and eastern electric minimax dacs go under $600. Probably the best one can do in that range. | |
| shindo aurieges .... The Auregies is a great preamp, thats the reason I owned it twice, but using it with a very transparant amp like a Decware Torii in comparison to my Audion pre and a Dodd preamp (which i dont prefer this is mentioned for contrast only) some warts ... | |
| shindo aurieges .... Mikirob,I'm not sure if my comments led you to that conclusion, but extreme detail over tone certainly doesn't describe my listening priorities.The Auriegies is definitely a beautiful piece and I spent many a night seduced by it. Especially when I... | |
| Rogue Tempest II magnum or Cronus Magnum for VR-33 Thanks for the feedback, guys. I decided to pass nd just hold out for a reasonably priced Cronus Magnum. Sellers seem whacked these day, the last two listed for the same price I could walk into a dealer and get one new.... | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? As a Lampizator owner I'm curious about the lamp 2 in that price range. | |
| shindo aurieges .... I tend to agree with Wilson. I've owned the Auriges twice and while its very good, it has flaws and there are better pre amps that can be had for less. I preferred an Audion premiere to my Shindo by a wide margin and the Audion gave me an extremel... | |
| Rogue Tempest II magnum or Cronus Magnum for VR-33 Thanks for chiming in Valinar. I suspected I might lose in terms of body with the tempests and its passive pre, but it sounds like while it may be a great integrated, it could be a departure from what I am after.I pretty much committed to buying a... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I had the threaded glider 3/8"-16 (1 inch long) for my Souls.I exchanged it when I sold the Souls in favor of the Cone/Spike Decoupling Glider which does the same thing, but is universal with other spiked speakers. |
