| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? Border Patrol makes a very good 300b SET (as well as 300b PP) amp. Not cheap, but they often have pre-owned units for sale. www.borderpatrol.net. Gary Dewes is very knowledgeable. If you go this route, I strongly recommend Takatsuki 300b tubes. | |

| Leonard Cohen...RIP.... I was fortunate to hear him twice in concert. Radio City Music Hall and MSG. Both were near-religious experiences - even within the cavernous MSG. If you read into the lyrics of his final album, he knew that he was dying. So sad. So wonderful. T... | |

| 6922 Tubes! I recently purchased a pair of white label Amperex 7308. While not dead quiet, the noise is minimal (only detectable within inches of the speakers) and not apparent when music is playing. More importantly, they are highly musical. Not cheap, but I... | |
| Putting together a system...looking for some suggestions As bondmanp said, nothing replaces in-home addition - regardless of the speaker that you prefer. I have had speakers that sounded great in the store, but that died at home. | |
| Putting together a system...looking for some suggestions Zu is not the only speaker company that offers a 30-60 day approval period. Tekton is another example. However, I suggest that you give Zu a call. Sean, in particular, is very helpful.There are two integrated amplifiers for sale on A'gon: YBA Inte... | |

| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers My experience is similar to Charles. I have Zu Definition 4s (reported to be 101db sensitive) and an Ancient Audio 300b SET. The Def 4s have their own integrated "subwoofer module." Recently, the tube amp required servicing; and I used a back-up... | |

| My most remarkable service experience ever. Two experiences, both with Zu Audio. 1) The inboard bass amps from my "original" Zu Def 2s failed after several years. Rather than shipping replacement amps for me to install or asking me to ship the speakers back to the company, one of Zu's repre... |
