| Capitol Audio Fest CharlesI did not spend much time in the Zu room. Just stopped in to say hello to Sean Casey. The new Druid VI look gorgeous, but cannot attest to their sound. (Sean was playing the Omens.) I prefer to listen to equipment that I cannot hear at home... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest I have heard DejaVu's vintage systems in the past, and they always sound good. (They were also some of the largest speakers at the show - certainly in terms of footprint.) These seem to be Vu's true passion. A visit to DejaVu audio is always a tre... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest I liked the Zu, Shindo/Auditorium 23, and Border Patrol/Volti rooms. Also the ability to hear a refurbished pair of Quad 57s. The show was well organized with lots to see and hear. Definitely worth the trip. | |
| 50 of the best hi-fi albums for audiophiles I am NOT associated with the article. I merely cut and pasted the introduction to the article as it appeared on-line - ncluding "definitive" in italics. The introduction (or premise) to this or any similar article is important in order to put the ... | |
| 50 of the best hi-fi albums for audiophiles "We didn't set ourselves the task of picking the absolute, definitive best 50 albums for audiophiles."We did, however, manage to compile the below list of 50 records (and a little further listening for each) we feel span genres, styles of producti... | |
| Mid grade Integrated amp choices I agree with sbrownnw. The Audio Refinement Complete is an amazing integrated amp - and very inexpensive on the second-hand market. I have had one in my bedroom system since 2000 (driving Celestion SL700s) and bought one for my girlfriend (where i... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers Not sure whether these would work for you, but there are a pair of Sophia Electric 300b monoblocks for sale on Audiogon. Good price. | |
| speaker recommendation You may want to wait until you are in your larger space - and arrange for a home audition before buying. | |
| Your advice to speakers designers I agree with Prof. Everything must be designed; a speaker does not design itself. And a physically beautiful speaker can also be a superb sounding speaker - and this applies to electronics, cabling, etc. When it comes to speakers, fit and finish g... | |
| Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing In addition to Saint-Saens Third Symphony, Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. | |
| Tube amp for Zu Omen Did you talk to the folks at ZuAudio? | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers In Washington DC we are lucky to have several very good shops - DejaVu Audio (especially), CommandAV, and others. Plus Capitol Audiofest (CAF) is the first weekend in November, attracts a decent number of exhibitors, and is often not too crowded. ... | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? I have one of the first pairs of Definition 4s (having upgraded from the Def 2s). Sean delivered them and set them up personally; cannot ask for more. I have been lucky with great customer service from Zu, Ancient Audio (Krakow, Poland), and DejaV... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Many opinions. Many options. My only comment is that at your price point, you should be able to audition any pair of speakers in your own room. | |
| Some Stereo Speakers Appropriate to my Setup and Around $500 or Less (if possible) I think that the most difficult part of your wish list is the ability to expand to 5.1. I have built several systems based on Spica TC50 speakers. The price is right. They sound great for a wide range of genres. But as the foundation of a 5.1 set-... |
