| Zu Soul Superfly That brown doesn't look bad at all and I suspect my wife would have liked that better than the cosmic carbon.I've got the same problem you appear to with a part of the sofa blocking a part of a speaker... I don't hear an obvious imbalance, but it ... | |
| Sound of Zu Soul Superfly vs Zu Druid Speakers I can agree with your desire for more information. Heck, I'm one of the few vocal owners (that I'm aware of) and I'm constantly checking back here for updates. I don't think anyone was trying to silence your quest for more information so much as p... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I can understand what you're saying, but there are just so many accounts out there of people pationately disliking these speakers and I can't understand it. I understand not every piece is for everyone, but I feel like this brand is far more polar... | |
| Have Maggie 1.6s, looking to switch it up. I used Maggie 1.6s for about a year and a half and a pair of MMGs before them and they are awesome speakers and a great value. My space requirements changed after college and I explored smaller options, mostly bookshelves and couldn't find happine... | |
| what to do with my cat on my speaker grills My two cats prevented me from buying Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers. I've never had any real issues with them using furniture as scratch posts, but I decided it would be tempting faith. In hing sight I'm glad, because I went with cheaper speakers w... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Mahughes,I'll try and get a few more snapped this weekend for you.Undertow,Interesting thoughts. Hopefully they'll be able to move past it once the Soul gets more exposure. It will be easier to hear it sound its best w/o the plinth gap and placeme... | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? Njs,I'm with you on finding the Squeezeboxes to be inferior transports to cd players. I felt my stock Touch was bested by a modest Philips 963SA I had on hand feeding my Minimax DAC.That said, I have since thrown a regulated PSU (Bolder modified e... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly OK, I think I mis-read you and was concerned about input impedance. Nelson Pass was goodly enough to post step by step instructions for the conversion on diyaudio as he does with all the Firstwatt deigns.Step by step:1) You match up a pair of Semi... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Regiggey,Thanks for the concern. I asked my dealer who in turn asked the designer of my preamp and he said the following: "I do not have the spec. of this F1J machine, but I guess it should be some SS power amp. The MM Pre has a cathode follower o... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I changed a couple of variables in my system and gave the Dynaco another shot and I'm actually liking it a good bit more. I kept my reference ICs on my pre1 to F1/TWO.2 and threw on a "magwire" IC between my pre's second outs and the Dynaco and a ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Did you see the ones in my audigon system? I'm a crappy photographer, but I'll ask the wife to take some shortly if you want so more.I'm keeping my F1 and upgrading it to an F1J. Hopefully this will be the ultimate for me.I've resolved to sell the... | |
| Sound of Zu Soul Superfly vs Zu Druid Speakers Pay particular attention to 213cobra's (Phil) posts. He contrasts the Superflys with virtually all of Zu's other offerings.FWIW, I think its Zu's position that even the not yet released Soul (non-superfly) is a step up from the Druid, so if on the... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Paul,From the emails we've exchanged and from reading a lot on the forums, I'd love to pick up an F3 when one comes available. The Pass built one is out of my budget at the moment, but hopefully a rawson built clone will come up soon... it seems l... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I've used a few different amps at this point with my Souls and ironically, the lowest powered one has sounded the best. My 10wpc Firstwatt F1 sounds better to my ears than my Dynaco ST-70 (Zu recommended) and than a Virtue TWO.2 I have on loan (al... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I haven't come across such an amplifier yet. My Tim Rawson built First Watt F1 comes close (as long as I have single driver speaker) but this due to the fact that I value the product more than the ~$600 it would generate selling used--not that its... |
