| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? I don't know about the Omen Defs, but Zu specifically recommends two differentclass d amps on their website...I used one of the two recommendations (Panasonic XR-25 and it was meh) but I did use the Virtue TWO.2 and it was not bad at all for the s... | |
| Decware - any substance here? Jwt,From what you've written it sounds like the Torii is hyper resolving--is it ever distractingly so? I favor musicality, tone and dynamics over uber-detail. Do you think the amp errs to the analytical side at all? For example, I have owned and u... | |
| $2000 Budget for a speaker + integrated amplifier Redgum RGi120 - $750 used and has driven everything I've thrown at it very well. You won't find much press on it, but it is supremely musical. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? We all have more than adequate e-peen here. Lets talk speakers, boys.This is getting silly. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? No kidding, Rja...So... does anyone have anything to say on the actual speakers' sound traits? | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Roscoe,You and Paul Folbrech's comments have me on the lookout for a good deal on a used commercial F3. He mentioned too that his Pass built F3 sounded better than his Rawson.Is it the Rawson builds that are inferior or DIYs in general? I ask beca... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition I've got no affiliation with the seller, but FYI there is a Rawson F3 clone on now. | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition My Shindo has a 5k ohm impedance and seems to match better well with the Rawson F3 clone I'm using.This is an excerpt from an email with the buddy that turned me on to the F3: "I did not run the Aurieges with the F3 and am not sure it would match ... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition My hesitation in snagging the mini torii is that that low wattage is into 4ohms. Into my 16ohm Superflys that is truly flea power (will that be LESS than a 45 SET?) I wouldn't underestimate the F3s, they're pretty darn good to be honest. Some say ... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition I'm listening to a pair of Superflys with an F3 clone as I type this and its damn good. You should be able to pick one up between $500 and $600 here when they come up and I strongly suggest you do to assess it for yourself. They re-sell easily if ... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition If you really only had 30 minutes on them when you bought them, they will be changing a lot in the MONTHS to come. If I had to name a qualm with Zu speakers (FRDs really) its the length of burn in. Some guys seem to enjoy it, but I just want every... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Awesome, Roscoe!Did you ever swap the 6SN7s from the stock Sov? I really hated those tubes and was not happy to be using them in the pre to show my rig. | |
| Audiolab, Rowland integrated - nothing in between? I second the redgum endorsement. The RGi120 is outrageously good for the money they go for used. Auditory memory is faulty, but I prefer it the Plinus 8200MKII I owned. | |
| Burn-in time for a Shuguang 845B tube? I'm working on a new pair right now to replace a pair of Pavane 845-Ts and it started showing signs of life around the 50 hour mark. I committed the no-no though and left them unattended over night for the first 48 hours and at night they were pla... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA60's with Proac Speakers I don't know about those particular ProAcs, but the gentleman who sold me the S-30 I used to own (now owned by the poster right above me) used to drive either Response 2 or Response 2.5s with the little Atmas.You may be fine with the m60s. |
