Prana Deva vs. Nordost Valhalla
I own the Prana Deva interconnect with the upgraded, Bocchino XLR connectors and Prana Deva 2 Meter speaker cable and have been extremely happy with the very musical sound; the dynamics and the detail this cable allows through. It is very easy to ... 
Request to hear Zu speakers
Sean and Adam are setting up a pair of Definitions this Thursday night in my listening room in Scottsdale, AZ. I am looking forward to listening to them in my environment. I truly enjoyed my time with them at the factory a week ago and when I hear... 
Review: ZU Loudspeaker and Cables Definition Speaker
I have decided to have Adam and Sean bring a pair of Definitions with them to Scottsdale, AZ as they are coming to the area to do an installation of another pair of Definitions. The chance to listen to this excellent speaker in my own environment ... 
Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99
Brian, Sean and Adam are bringing Definitions to my home this week. I listened to them in Utah last week; (see my review and pix)and they mentioned they would be in Scottsdale, so I decided to have them brought to my environment for more detailed ... 
Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99
I visited ZU on my recent trip to Utah and luckily for me Sean and Adam were planning a trip to Scottsdale, AZ this week and will install a pair of Definitions in my home March 2nd. Having them in my own environment is the best test for me. I coul... 
Review: ZU Loudspeaker and Cables Definition Speaker
Warren, between the two options I heard the Definitions with I preferred the Audiopax for its additonal imaging, fidelity and musicality. However, having said that, the PS audio was no slouch either. I appreciated the chance to hear them with both... 
Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99
I visited the ZU factory this past Thursday and met with Adam and Sean and will post pictures and opinions later this weekend when I can formulate my thoughts, but I will tell you I was very impressed with the Definitions driven by Audipax mono 30... 
What's under your amp?
Try a Sistrum SP-3 or 4. Call Robert at audiopoints.com. I have his SP-101 stands under my VAC 220 Monoblocks and love what they did to the sound; it cleared up the noise and increased the resolution. Robert recommended audio points under my VAC 2... 
What are the best Audio Compnent Racks Available?
Check out Sistrum stands at www.audiopoints.com; then call Robert and he'll explain the science behind them. I am pleased with my amps stands and would have bought a component stand if I didn't already have a Billy Bags Pro stand, which is also good. 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker
Rja, the Caravelle will sound lean if you listen them to them without a sub because you are missing the lower octave below 40 hertz. They are clean, detailed and dynamic, but the sub will balance the sound top to bottom. I am using the Velodyne DD... 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker
Gkcc3 you hit the nail on the head with your post and that is why I sold my MAXX for the Caravelles. I didn't have to, the Caravelle sound better in my room than the MAXX did. I still think the MAXX is an awesome speaker in the right room, but try... 
Wilson Spikes
I had Wilson MAXX and for what you pay for the MAXX you would think the spikes would be high quality, but they aren't. I love Dave Wilson and Wilson speakers, so I am not critizing his product overall, but the spikes on the MAXX and the WAtt/Puppy... 
Doug Henning disappearing act
Yes, I had a buyer hammer me for a month to lower my price and when I finally did, he changed his mind the day before the check was to be sent to me. I almost gave him a neutral for the lack of coutesy, but he caught me in a good mood and I let hi... 
Krell Full Power Balanced FPB X vs. Rowland
FPB X amps were my favorite of all the Krell amps I owned from '93. The 750's I had were dynamic, never sounded strained; had fantastic bass control and the improvement Krell made in this amp over the earlier versions was a more refined midrange a...
