| Another Zu Thread Having recently moved to Definition 1.5 from the Druid, I thought I'd post my findings.First, because of all the discussion re placing these further back than Druids, I placed them at about 12 feet from listening position, about 9.5 feet apart. By... | |
| Consonance Droplet CDP owners Agree w/Kira and others, at least on a "family" basis. The 2.2 I owned exhibited the same mechanical quality. No soul or emotion. IMO a very ordinary machine masquerading behind a fancy exterior. The Quad CDP-2 I replaced it with hammered it to a ... | |
| Anyone heard the nnew Mantaray Manley integrated? Duh Sunday, obviously I did not read your post properly. (scratching head...) | |
| Anyone heard the nnew Mantaray Manley integrated? I started to write a bit about what I KNEW but then got to googling and came up with this (everything you need to know for now and from the Vanimal's keyboard!):http://manleylabs.com/galleria/EVENTS/CES2007.htmlThe above link also refers to a STIN... | |
| Any good cdp with digital inputs I have a Quad CDP-2 which I have owned for about a year. When I went to Squeezebox a few months ago, I figured I would sell the Quad and put it up on Agon. Had it sold and then it fell through and I withdrew the ad and rethought my options. I then... | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment When you're in the Totem Forest and have a Berning desire to take a Leak, you risk having Exposure to the Ayre. Better if you wear a Macintosh first, prevents your Manley from becoming a Shrimp. | |
| McIntosh SS Amps - Old vs New - Sonics LOL Bulldogger and no offense meant!Actually you can get as formal or informal as you like, no police here... just pesky guys commenting on your writing style. | |
| what amps mate well with Zu Definition Macrojack: "If you need help contacting Red Wine or finding the 6moons review, contact me and I will give you further directions."Seems easier to post a link, yes? Wassup? | |
| EL34 Integrated I have heard both the Sophia EL34 and the Onix SP3 in my system. Am surprised that these two can be mentioned in the same thread IMO. If EL34 sound is what you're after (and that's what you asked for), then the SP3 will NOT deliver that.I prefer E... | |
| Quad cd-p 1 vs. 2 The box is no different I think, but the serial number sticker on the back says "99 CDP-2". This is how mine looks and I have verified this to be the external differentiator in conversation with the US distributor. | |
| McIntosh SS Amps - Old vs New - Sonics Bulldogger, excellent writeup. While you may not win prizes for precise prose (and I mean that in the best way), it is clear that your words came from the heart and you weren't sitting there thinking up audiophile lingo and buzzwords. Your languag... | |
| Mcintosh MC2000 Why don't you ask McIntosh; they are the best candidates to answer this question. | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? "looks, a super remote, fancy face plate, big bass in a ss amp, cool looking speaker, 'really hip looking"Bartokfan, well, maybe. But, and no offense meant at all, your post was a little hard to follow and your examples are a little more, dare I s... | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? 7:1 for convenience so far. Manufacturers take note...Bartokfan, hoping you are not pulling my leg, SQ is sound quality. Sacrificing, etc. means giving up some (or a lot of) SQ for the sake of gaining some (or a lot of) convenience, such as remote... | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? Kenyonbm, spoken with the self-contradiction of a true audiophile! Not raggin' on you, just amused that I am not the only one. Hope I didn't misunderstand though.Score so far is 5:1 in favor of convenience (kenyonbm counted once in each). |
