| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? There are many reasons to avoid products from China, but the blnket statements about them all being crap is absolute rubbish.I've owned a plethora of Chinese heat from company's like Eastern Electric, Jasmine and Prima Luna and there are some FANT... | |
| DIY acoustic panels for planars. Lonewolf is a good guy, I got to meet him at an NY audio rave (where he posed with some AZ creshendos). Its all in good fun and the poses are with the owners consent and are not meant to be disrespectful. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Hey, Rockn!I'm still around and loving my Superflys. They are really special speakers, but during my ownership I've come to discover they're a real pain in the butt to get placement right.Its easy to make them sound good, but making them shine in ... | |
| Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good? Ehh, I don't think my decware torii looks particuolrly pretty. And my Audion preamp is uber gaudy, but they sound great together. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly This is a self-serving post and normally I wouldn't do this, but just a heads up as I think there is a particularly strong synergy with Zu speakers... The Redgum integrated I've gushed about in this thread is now for sale here on the 'gon. I'd rat... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers? I think Clearsound Audio in Patchogue carries the AZ line--I know I heard the Creshendos over there. Give Neil a buzz, he's a nice guy. | |
| The Amadeus's little brother arrives is there any more info on the simplex compared to the Amadeus previous generation well tempered reference. I sold my well tempered reference today with the hope of pulling a few dollars out of my rig and, though the Amadeus is damn tempting, the s... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Very interesting. I caught that they were 12ohm in the ad, but thought it might have been a typo. I assume they will be 98db efficiency then too?Solid deal! Wouldn't have even occurred to me to order upgrades to the closeout, sounds like that will... | |
| Best $3,000 speaker/amp combo? Zu Soul Superflys and Redgum RGi120 (outrageously good synergy with this MOSFET amp) or Decware Mini Torii with Dodd Buffer (haven't heard the Mini, but have the full blown Torii 3 and the Mini is supposed to be similarly special with Zu speakers)... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Did anyone here get the chance to compare the Soul Superfly to the standard Soul? Zu is closing out 20 Standard Souls in the beautiful Walnut finish for $999...If I had the cash to leave it in storage for a while, I'd buy it to put in my next livi... | |
| New Zu Mission cable Did anyone have the opportunity to compare the very good Zu Mission speaker cables to the Events? I'm wondering how much better the Zus could get. | |
| Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L? I decided my friend's system was different enough that Shindo really does need to be heard in my own rig--so I bought another Auregies-L.Hopefully I'll see it by weeks end. I also have a Dodd Battery Buffer headed my way for experimentation and co... | |
| Best Pre/Amp or Integrated for Zu Essence As an update to my prior post, I love the Shindo, but it is not the pre for the Torii. At least not for my amp in my friends system. The torii is still extremely highly recommended. | |
| active or passive preamp for active speakers I generally don't like passives, but both of my present amps have passive pre amp sections and I've yet to find an active that improves upon their sound. Yesterday a shindo was a disappointment with my torii.That said, I'm still looking. | |
| Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L? Welp. I played with the auregies l on my torii in a friends rig today and we both seemed to prefer it without the shindo... At least on his gear.Comparing my torii solo to his tubeguru.hu f2a push pulls, I felt the tg/shindo offered a bit more bod... |
