| Anyone try the Jasmine LP2.0SE? Thanks for the feedback. I ordered one today so I can compare for myself. The jasmine will have its work cut out for it to better the night hawk in with my. Tube amp in the mix, but if it succeeds it will probably be the heaviest hitter anywhere n... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice? It went back to the seller for a couple of reasons. Acrylic body was cracked and my tone arm didn't handle the ultra high compliance special order.The seller listed it as ultra high compliance. But listed regular high compliance specs. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly That is the list! Thanks. There was a more curent one where they actually made quick notes of the virtues of faults of each on the list, but that will do nicely. | |
| Anyone try the Jasmine LP2.0SE? Interesting feedback, thank you. I would be swapping the stock PC anyway, but are you saying it is not on the NH's level without the cable upgrades?Also, the delicate/refined treble is appealing to me, but I'm concerned by the 'slightly lean' midr... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Did anyone happen to save the list of amps with the short description that was originally listed on the Soul Superfly page as being the amps used to voice the speaker? It seems to have been lost in the shuffle when they updated the Soul page. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Very well could be playing a part BUT I recall liking the F1 a bit more before the Semisouth R100s were installed. I'll give it some time for everything to break in as new PSU CAps were installed.That said, Zu has officially updated the Superfly p... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly My Firstwatt came back today with the F1J mods! Aside from the prescribed updates, I had two power supply caps replaced which appeared to be worn.Honestly--my first impressions are not particularly good with this pairing. Lower noise flood, much b... | |
| Thoughts on the Super Abby? Haven't heard the Super Abbys but I owned the Abbys which are very good loudspeakers. I had them for about 5 years and drove them with a bunch of amps with my favorites being the Fi 2a3 monoblocks and a Firstwatt F1. That said, I've graduated to t... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Fz1jmp,I view the 60 or 90 days as trivial if you get in on the promo price. Unless you live in B.F.E., if you don't like 'em in 4 months just sell 'em locally for a grand.At the speed Zu has been getting the Superflys out, relative to actual I be... | |
| Phono Stage for Koetsu Black I can only speculate, but I suspect the EAR might be too laid back a match for the Koetsu. I owned a Koetsu Rosewood Signature for a bit and preferred it with a battery operated solid state phono pre (Nighthawk) over a tubed Minimax (juggled the h... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Back to the topic of the Soul Superflys, I just got word that my Firstwatt F1 has been successfully converted to an F1J!I've been informed that is sounding like a gustier F3 at this point. I suspect this pairing may be something very special. Will... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Thanks for clearing that up Bill. Is it the same super tweeter? Basically it sounds like this may be a Druid with better bass?Where did that extra couple DB efficiency go? | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Zanon,You are correct, as stated it doesn't make much sense. I don't know what the final price of the Superfly will be, but $1800 is still the target for the Soul and down the line when enough Omens are sold to bring production costs down they wil... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Not sure if you missed or are ignoring my post, Zanon. No standard Souls have been sold yet by virtue of the fact that they haven't released them. They will be coming out in the near future and there will be an introductory pricing below the $1800... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly It sounds to me that the Omen is going to be a more boxy Soul with Mission internal wiring that still incorporates the Greiwe loading. I wouldn't be surprised if it is almost as good as the Soul Superfly.Drop them a line, their new CEO is extremel... |
