New Zu Mission cable
Generally speaking I agree with that Glory, but at 75% off 'b-stock' I don't think much would be saved waiting for them to go used...Really though, I don't think the Mission or even Soul/Omen owners should be the ones upset at all.I'd be a little ... 
New Zu Mission cable
This certainly did blow up in their faces. I think the sales and promotions were to get them exposure and create goodwill towards the company, but it seems a lot of people are pissed.I like the company and their products, but I do agree things got... 
any Zu Soul Super Fly owner in bay area?
morganc,Did your friend cite any specific aspects he preferred in the Omen Defs over the Superflys? I find that pretty interesting. I love my Superflys and thought only the Soul Definitions would tempt me. I'm too far into ownership to send 'em ba... 
Heed Quasar or Jasmine Audio phono stage?
I'm not familiar with the Quasar, but the Jasmine is very nice and for the price of the Quasar mentioned above you could add a Bob's Device SUT and really be cooking.I've owned a leman black cube, rogue stealth, eastern electric minimax and a nigh... 
Preamp modifications - who would you use?
Consider Wayne of Bolder Cable Co. I've got him working on a DAC for me now and from my experience with other pieces he's modified he does great work. 
Dodd Phono Pre Amp or Eastern Electric Mini max
The Minimax is very good if the settings are a good match for your cartridge. I enjoyed my EEMM very much while I had it until I wanted to experiment with other cartridges. 
ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms??
Cwazz,Check out the thread in the cheap and cheerful section of Audiocircle.com A number of ACers have purchased the Omens and posted thoughts and impressions there. 
New Zu Mission cable
Interesting, but it looks like I missed my chance on the B-Stock/65% off sales. New 2011 pricing is up and from what I've been told it will be a lot firmer than we saw in 2010.I may experiment with their PCs down the line, but I have something ver... 
New Zu Mission cable
Nonoise,You've making me very curious about the PCs. I picked up a pair of the B-stock interconnects to fill a soon to be gap in my system (adding a SUT) and they have really exceeded my expectations, turning out to be very good cables and not jus... 
New Zu Mission cable
If its any consolation, the B-stock is clearly noted as such so their resale may not be as good as that of you guys who got in early on the A-stock promo. I agree that the cable pricing is frustrating, although at 75% off I couldn't resit trying a... 
New Zu Mission cable
Speaking with the guys at Zu, none of the B-stock cables are returns or anything, but if an RCA barel has a scratch or a small snag in tech flex or minutely shorter lead, etc. it will be considered B-stock. I have one pair of their ICs and, aside ... 
New Zu Mission cable
I just received a B-stock Mission IC in the mail today and have it sitting between my Jasmine LP2.0SE phono pre and upgraded EE Minimax Preamp and out of the damn box they are impressive. I bought a Zu Bok some years ago for a source and hated it,... 
Quality tube amp below $1k?
Look into Jasmine audio. They largely fly under the radar in the US, but offer some very killer sound both for the dollar and in absolute terms. 
Zu Soul Superfly
If anyone on or near Long Island, NY is contemplating buying a pair of Cosmic Carbon Superflys, please let me know.Seeing the Superflys offered in Walnut and realizing they might actually fit in with a furniture scheme my wife would approve of has... 
Best Cables for Atma-Sphere MA-1 MP-1 combination
I second Rockadanny with a caveat--Generally speaking, I prefer the older iteration of Wywires interconnects. With my Atma-sphere S-30 handling amplification duties, the v2s offer a better synergy. These are the versions that address Bob Levi's co...
