| looking for ideas on must have classical music Many good suggestions. I would start with a cross-section of great composers and genres until you figure out what you like. From the above list (mostly). . . Concerto for solo instrument and orchestra Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto in D. Mozart'... | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV Interesting and useful info from Phil. My Def4s are also a very early pair. Sean probably should update the downloadable owner's manual from the Zu website.Gary | |
| Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV My Def4s are 6" from the back wall, and the floor is wood glued to reinforced concrete. Sean delivered the speakers, dialed in the bass amps, and the output curve is flat (see the owner's manual):Volume=9Low pass=45PEQ Gain DB=3.0PEQ frequency=35P... | |
| Bought some `Vintage Gear` Great gear is great gear. I have CelestionSL700 (circa 1990) in my master bedroom, Rogers LS35a (also circa 1990) in a guest bedroom and built two systems for my girlfriend using SpicaTC50 (circa 1985). All sound great today. | |
| Looking for speakers for my 4W SET amp 4W is tough - depending on your space, how loud you like to listen, your choice of music, and even (perhaps) the length of speaker cables. It is right on the cusp. | |
| Recommendations for bookshelf speakers I have a pair of Celestion SL700s (stand mounted) in my bedroom. I don't plan to part with them. Ever.That said, you should always audition speakers - and preferably at home and in situ. If your budgets can handle it, you should consider a pair of... | |
| Repair Shop In VA / Washington DC - Rec Please DejaVu Audio outside of Washington DC is another option. | |
| Deja Vu Audio 300B Mono Amps BTW. . . In my experience, an email to Vu Hoag is a good way to contact him. | |
| Deja Vu Audio 300B Mono Amps I agree with Larryi. You should call Vu at DejaVu if for no other reason than to make his acquaintance. He will tell you what else, if anything, needs to be updated and how to avoid any mistakes. I have always found him very approachable. | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? I once proposed to the US Takatsuki distributor that there should be a way to audition his 300b tubes - perhaps one pair that circulated for a week at a time to prospective customers. He did not appreciate the suggestion. He also lost the sale sin... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? The number of 300b tubes available today is remarkable (I have not seen a complete list); it is a daunting proposition to try them all. When I got my 300b SET nine years ago, almost to the day, I started with Psvane, then Shuguang BT, then Sophia ... | |
| Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K If you can, arrange for a home audition. Speakers sound very different at home. | |
| Zu Druid 6 The best way to "find" Ling Xiao Nan is to google fatkit83-8. For some reason, nothing appears when fatkit83-8 is put into the eBay website search engine. I have heard the Druid VI at Capitol Audiofest, and it is clearly the best Druid yet. Howeve... | |
| Build a system for $1000 I built a similarly priced system for my friend based on used Spica TC-50 speakers, generic speaker stands, and AudioRefinement electronics (integrated amp, CD player, and tuner). | |
| Looking for an Audio Show As someone who lived in Phila for 25 years, moved to DC, and goes back and forth between DC and NYC by train, you should definitely check out Capital Audiofest. It keeps getting better every year with an expanding range of hardware and software. |
