Zu Essence upgrade kit - worthwhile?
I have EL 34s in my amp and see that Tone1313 is happy with a Cayin A50T with Genelex KT-77 tubes. That interests me. I have been wondering if my Sonic Frontier SFC-1 integrated will be better with KT-77s. I think am going to go for a 2a3/6b4g or ...

upgrade suggestion please for Zu Omen def
Another alternative would be an Audion Silver Night Anniversary or their Duo. This is also an insanely good match: I will most likely go for either the Melody i2A3 or the Audion, but I have the Essence speakers. 
Best Pre/Amp or Integrated for Zu Essence
It would be nearly impossible to top one of the following suggestions: Melody 2A3, Astro Black 22 (22 Watt pp, but great), Audion Silver Night (300B) or Decware Minitorii or Zen Integrated mod 3 out in March. These will all come in under 4,500 and...

Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker
I run them with a Moon i-3 integrated and they are just great. I will purchase a good SET when the piggy bank is full and improve on the Moon CD-1's DAC with either an Eastern Electric DAC+ or an AudioNote DAC. Moon is fab with the Essence speaker... 
Tube Power Amp Recommendations around $2000
I would suggest the Melody i2a3, Astro Black 22 or their Melody 300B, Astro 8. The Astro Black 22 should have more than enough spunk with 2a3s running in Push-Pull. Their 300B, Austro 8 at 8 Watts is also interesting. Perhpas the Audion line as we...
