| Anyone try the Jasmine LP2.0SE? I have a source for the connectors. They are $10 with a minimum shipping cost of $16 (smallest weight DHL).If anyone wants in, we can put an order of a few together to make it worthwhile... I figure $15 a person would be fair?Drop me an email. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Probably so--we'll qualify that with:Decent 845 tubes;competent design; andreasonably good output transformers...On a related note: Yes, I have heard similar things said about Zu speakers with 300B. Hell, 2a3 and 45 as well for the matter. I guess... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Magic. :)My Chinese 845s are giving me a tonally beautiful yet vivid and exciting presentation thats just more holographic and beautiful. It may err a bit to the romantic side--not euphic/syrupy like the ST-70 I had but there is a certain magic to... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Dave,Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Well written and very insightful. If ever hot, exposed tubes become an issue in my house I will probably investigate the Quad IIs based on you and Phil's findings.I have been extremely happy... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Do i have a problem spending $20 bucks to experience something truly high end? Not at all. I enjoy the hobby far more than I enjoy television or movies and the opportunity cost of the $20 is insignificant.It would be fun to gain perspective on wha... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? I'm sure they'd sound better with better amplification, but should still be nice with your receiver. I haven't heard the Omen Defs, just the Soul Superflys and it is hard to make them sound 'bad' with amplification.As far as creating a 5.1 system ... | |
| Anyone try the Jasmine LP2.0SE? Redglobe,Thanks for that information. Seems like a cheap enough cap to give a whirl. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=027-476Did you experience any negatives with the upgrade?Was musicality scarified for the additional coher... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly How did you order?I'm trying to get a pair of mission interconnects but I feel like I'm in email limbo and don't want to miss my chance to get a pair as I have a single opening in my system/am curious. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Zu has some B-stock stuff listed: http://www.zuaudio.com/store/b-stock/Pricing seems interesting, especially on their cables at 75% off.I personally use Wywires throughout my system and very much like how its working with what I have, but the cost... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Wilsynet,My S-30 is on its way back from Atma-sphere via FEDex now after a servicing to bring it up to spec and a few updates.I'll get to evaluate it healthy for the first time as I bought all new power tubes for it. I also have a pair of Shuguang... | |
| Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference. I've got a Pavane 12au7 on its way to me now to try in my Eastern Electric DAC. If they live up to their reputation, I'll consider an additional pair for my preamplifier alone with a pair of their 845s.For now they'll have stiff competition agains... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I would say its sound is more similar to the F1J than the F1. The F1 was leaner a little thing harmonically and perhaps a little cooler in its tonal balance--The F1J on the other hand was a little warmer and richer and seemingly quieter while bein... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Roscoeiii,I do not have much information on these Aleph monoblock clones at all. I know it puts out roughly 60-70wpc but didn't inquire too much farther. I recently purchased an Atma-sphere S-30mkII which is a bit under the weather at the moment. ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly For anyone wanting to avoid tubes and power the Superflys with SS, I'm borrowing a friends Aleph clones while my tube amp is under the weather and its driving these speakers extremely well. Significantly more alive and enjoyable then the Firstwatt... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? I think the Omen and Soul should be looked at as separate speaker lines with different target end users rather than competing within the same line.Its an interesting approach which actually makes a lot of sense as it unfolds. That said--ignoring m... |
