| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Truth be told, its pretty hard, IMO to make Zus sound bad... I've only had one amplifier combo I actually 'hated' Ironically it was one that Zu actually had on their recommendation list (my dad had a Panasonic XR-25 gathering dust--figured I'd giv... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? The wealth of knowledge and experience in Phils posts never ceases to amaze me. The man knows his stuff, especially pertaining to driving Zu speakers. I spoke with him at length about amplification choices for my Superflys and, though I resisted a... | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? I'll second the Redgum RGi120 nomination. This little Aussie just makes music! | |
| Best 845 tube out there? I missed it, but I am very glad to read it now. :) | |
| Best 845 tube out there? "After approx. 2 weeks, my very positive view of the 845Ts has not changed. There's been no break-in change that I can detect. "I just received a pair of 845-Ts today and I am sincerely hoping my findings with respect to break-in do not mirror you... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? She found me this way and I'm not a permission seeking type, nor one to really explain/justify. I'll boast about good deals, but she's very much in the dark.One strategy thats worked well was taking away her credit card and getting her a card unde... | |
| Solid State watts to power Zu Defintions? I have no experience with the Definitions, but like David I have tried numerous examples from virtually every topology--but on my Soul Superflys.I've tried Firstwatts, Alephs, Class Ds, Class Ts, but what is really standing out and kicking some se... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I didn't want to speak too soon and announce landing on a setup that was "perfection" for my tastes, but I've given it a few weeks now and the desire to amp roll is done. For the guys who tuned into my amplifier rolling adventures, I have finally ... | |

Like speaker, there are some extremely expensive headphones out there... Are He90s (Sennhieser Orpheus cans)/Blue Hawaii in your b... | |
| Shindo and Joule Electra Preamps As a new Shindo Aureigies-L owner, who was recently eyeing a used Joule, I am interested in this comparison. I don't think my preamp will be leaving my system for the foreseeable future, but I am curious. | |
| How can anyone afford this ? I'm 28, married with a kid in another very high cost of living area and, although I find myself completely engulfed in this hobby, I've gotta respectfully say--you're doing it wrong, bro. This hobby provides a lot of entertainment for me and is on... | |
| What's the best Phono preamp under $1000?? Jasmine LP2.0SE/MK 2 is surly a contender. | |

| Shindo preamp with Mcintosh MC252 If the Shindo pre you are eyeballing is good match to that amplifier, I'd say give it a shot for sure! I grew up listening to my dads Mac gear and acquired a Shindo Aurieges-L for myself a couple of weeks ago and suspect the pairing could be somet... | |
| New Zu Mission cable Just received a pair of Mission speaker cables in the mail today. Very curious about them, and not quire sure what to expect.My system is pretty much connected with Wywires throughout and the additive effect/synergy is very special. I do recognize... |
