| Zu introduces Soul 6 @213cobra Zu shipped Steve's speakers too soon. Steve shot and posted his review too soon. That sounds right to me. Thanks for the detailed write up. One of the things I like about Guttenberg is his ‘everyman’ approach. But in this case that might... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 Steve Guttenberg aka the “Audiophiliac” has a new review out today on YouTube. Sort of surprising to me though I’ve never heard a Zu Speaker. Short version: it’s a mixed bag. Lively, great imaging, engaging, but he worked hard to get a tonal balan... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 Anyone heard these yet? I'd be curious to hear some impressions. | |
| Audible illusions Slow customer service There’s like three people there at most. It’s not logistics. It’s just how they do business (speaking from experience). | |
| Alternate screw down clamp for VPI Aries Stillpoints Ultra LPI. I've been using one for several years on my Aries 1 and it let me forget about TT weights. I started with the VPI clamp, then got the VPI steel weight and periphery weight. The Stillpoints was a big jump up from there. I use... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn Glad you got in touch with Reinhard and got some up to date info. I can't recommend him highly enough as a businessman, electrical engineer, aesthetic designer and builder (though maybe not as webmaster! lol. I don't think the EHTs ha... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @charles1dad Thank you for your comment. I had been planning to write a post on this for some time but I suppose I needed a nudge. @stephendunn I’m not sure I can be of much help in acquiring these. I originally spoke to the US dealer about the EH... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Another interesting take, this time on the EHT integrated stereo amp, not the mono blocks. http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Thoress-EHT.htm | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Nothing major to report since last time. I find that Ebaen is right when he says that the EHTs and Nenuphars together sound like “something cracked open.” good words for the sensation. “Benign psychotropic drug” is also good. it sounds like a quan... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten Yes. That’s been my setup for the past five months or so. From what I remember of his account I think Ebaen described it well. Remarkable sound. | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? @mrmeaner thanks for keeping it real. @mijostyn I get your point. I was just pushing back against the 'we love the ritual' narrative. I understand that point of view and I share it to some extent, but at the end of the day it's the sound that ke... | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? I think “what it is” with vinyl is the sound. It’s better. Not to sound like the brain police or anything (who?). | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops Shouldn’t need a zerostat (or an AR15). Nor mute the whole system when touching the LP. This sounds like a grounding problem in the tube preamp but not the SS. Is there a ground lift switch on the tube phono stage? That would probably fix it (if i... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Just because Klipsch speakers are voiced with low-fi cables doesn't mean that everyone should follow suit and use the same thing, or that expensive cables are BS. Klipsch is not marketing exclusively to a high end niche. The designer needs to make... | |
| New turntable: TW or Obama? The Kuzma stabi M does have an isolated, hinged cover. I'm impressed enough with the Kuzma 4 point 11 that I'm now considering a stabi turntable too. Just a brilliant arm. |
