| Shout Out to Zu Audio's customer service I am a huge fan of Zu - in part because their customer service. I have had multiple experiences just like the OP reports. Plus, there is always someone knowledgeable who answers the phone. | |
| I've decided to try Tubes You might consider the Coincident Dynamo 34SE MKII. The price is right, the company has a great reputation, and the reviews are excellent. I run my Zu Def4s with a 300b SET and like the combination. | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. Actually, Zu offers a 2 month trial periodhttp://www.zuaudio.com/60-day-guaranteeThey are shipped somewhat broken in. That said, my Def 4s continued to open up for months after I received them | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k Begin with the speakers. As several posts have commented, approximately 50% of the money for speakers would not be unusual. Audio shows are a good place to hear many possibilities; but personally, I find audio shows to be fatiguing. And I think th... | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? Many good suggestions including Eva Cassidy, Melody Gardot, and Holly Cole. I would also suggest Youn Sun Nah - Voyage | |
| amperex 6922 pq white label tubes There are many variations of 6922/7308/6dj8/CCa/etc - even with white lettering and coming from Amperex. Cost is determined not only by matching and measurements, but also by wear, when they were made, etc. There are codes to indicate year and dat... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? The cost of the tubes is not what worries me. I am much more concerned about the risks of any potential amplifier damage should they fail.Gary | |

| Just for fun: the Shinola Runwell turntable There are Shinola stores in certain cities such as Washington, DC. | |
| tube preamp repair - southern NJ / Phila. area / Wilmington, DE area If they cannot help, try DejaVu Audio in McClean Virginia - just outside DC. They make their own tube equipment using vintage parts. | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Not sure what you mean by "small" and "flat." Zu Definitions go flat to 16Hz. They have a 12"x12" footprint. But they are also 50" tall. AudioNote ANE has bass down to 16Hz, but I think that there is a roll-off; and they use corners to reinforce t... | |
| Great integrated amps with narrow depth under 12 inches? I do not know the exact dimensions, but the previous version of Linn amplifiers (ie., Klout) are modest in size. | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? Phil, Charles, et al.I am a fan of the Takatsukis, but have not heard the Balloon KR 300b. That said, I can attest to the longevity of the Takatsukis. I have been using the same pair for about 5 years without any issues. I was fortunate to source ... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? I agree with Charles and the other comments. My recommendation about Border Patrol was three-fold: (1) it is made in Maryland and therefore repairs are easy (my recent experience with my Ancient Audio taught me that lesson, but that is another sto... |
