| Mcintosh and magico speaker Mission- read jeff fritzs review of the 452. Not tubby and warm at all. Its all about the new thermal transistors. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? FYI- I believe a Berkeley run direct to go tube amps is a stellar combo (if you don't do vinyl)That is my current setup, though will try a Mac C2300 preamp in front after the amps are broken in. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Form factor changed a couple years ago. The current website shows my amps as they appear in front of me. The new chassis is much larger with no wood caps. I have only seen "old chassis" versions appear on Audiogon, hence the reference. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? plucked strings- there is a rightness that is tough to describe. the midrange glare is pretty muted. i'm being very picky here. 213Cobra feels the A tube is the reason behind this. i think the cheap input tubes are the reason. we shall see. I've h... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 for Shindo Montille? dave_b also was highly touting Maggies awhile back. which are notoriously known for not being dynamic on symphonic pieces. caveat emptor | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? So I have had a week of experience with the latest chassis Sophia 845 monoblocks. They are beautiful to look at and seem well built at 50+lbs each. Impressed thus far. Big, big sound and probably the most dynamic tube amp I've had in my system (pl... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I've had both Anthracite (metallic grey) and Maserati blue Zus---I prefer the dark blue with the Def4 aluminum bottoms as they are quite dark at night which adds interesting contrast. If I was going black, I would do phantom black pearl (Audi) or ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I am in the process of switching from top tier SS (Mac 601 monoblocks) to Sophia Electric 845 SET monos. Note- these aren't the Macs of old and are far from slow, sluggish, and dark.I receive the new amps this week, so hope to have some impression... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 How is Gotye and its associated recordng quality?Love the first single. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I've held out of the fray--but what I can say is my MK4s actually sound palatable with a $600 Onkyo digital integrated. The same combo drove me from the room with Def2s. The reason is the tweeter is more extended, but relaxed--and the mids are cle... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Those Def IIIs in Anthracite on Ebay were my Def2s, now upgraded. I moved to the new 4s recently.I can personally attest to the amazing condition---there is not a nick, scratch, mark on either speaker. They are only 2 years old as well.and yes, th... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 anyone have the latest M83? is it worthy?i know they are hyped all over. | |
| Sophia Electric Have a pair of 845s on order. Have heard nothing but great things about Sophia amps. | |
| Best amp for Dynaudio C4 Pass X series or Krell FPB.You need some mega tubes to drive the C4s correctly. | |
| What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon Vac 450 for me. I'm not a Magico/Spectral fan from what I've heard at shows. |
