| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR True to their word, the new Takatsuki TA-300b prices are posted as either 133,400 or 140,070 yen. It is hard to figure out the improvements; but using Google translate of a press release, there seem to be improvements in quality control and tolera... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Bill Feil (the proprietor of Audiofeil) was very helpful when I bought my first pair of Zu Defs. However, you need to call him in advance. Good Luck. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I echo what Spirit says. While I have no experience with Zu's Canadian distributor, I have had years of experience with Sean and the rest of Zu; and they are a total class act. I first bought Def1.5s using the 60 day home trial period and have sin... | |
| Buying 300B tubes in the New York? My recommendation is to do mail order. They arrive quickly, and you have a wide selection. The current cream-of-the crop of "Asian" 300b are. . .Psvane = Grant FidelitySophia = Sophia ElectricsTakatsuki = AmtransOr check out the listings on A'gon. | |
| Von Schweikert VR33 or JBL K2 S5500? Have you considered any Japanese speaker manufacturers? Yamamoto makes an interesting one (www.yamamotosoundcraft.com). | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I must echo the comments of Charles and GWalt - although I do not have their analytic ability. First, my SET amplifier is made by the same company that made the PSET amplifier used in the HiFidelity of Poland review. Second, I listen mostly to cla... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I have a pair of new EATs that I am not using. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? This is a matter of personal taste. Obviously. Given my decor, I never considered anything other than black. I love the elegance of gloss black including the surface reflections, but admit that it is very unforgiving. I deal with fingerprints and ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR The cost is 51,000 yen per tube. With 8,000 yen for shipping, the total comes to 110,000. The only variability is the exchange rate. Right now the dollar is trending stronger against the yen than a month ago. I have found that Amtrans was very res... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? The gloss black is very easy to maintain. After almost 6 months, no issues. But I live alone - no kids or pets - and am careful with my things. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I have the gloss black. To me it is the most sophisticated of the black finishes. You should also consider whether to leave the aluminum natural or have it anodized. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I agree with Phil about Def 4 vs Def 2 break-in. With the cavear that my Def 4s had more than the usual break-in and play time before I received them in October, they have changed very little since then. By contrast the Def 2s evolved over the cou... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? Truemaineiac is right. Sometimes the best thing is to pick up the phone. . . even in this era of email, text messages, Twitter, Facebook, etc | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Regarding power conditioning. . . Do you use power conditioning on your Def 4 plate amps as well as the front end electronics?Thanks | |
| Is good customer service about dead? I started with Zu Definition 1.5s then upgraded to Def 2s, and now to Def 4s. Zu customer service is unbelievably good - especially if you pick up the phone and call. (Sean personally delivered my Def 4s at 7a one October morning and spent a coupl... |
