| Decware and Zu. A pairing made in heaven I'm in a small room, and it can get LOUD. Uncomfortably so. I dought, even in a large room it would have any real problems. | |
| Decware and Zu. A pairing made in heaven Ah, yes, well it's like this:the Thiels are like a hi resolution photograph. Every detail is there, every shade is rendered. It's acurate and tells the truth without holding back. If what you want is an accurate portrayal then the Thiels are for y... | |
| Decware and Zu. A pairing made in heaven I've never heard de Capos, so I can't really compare unfortunately. My other system consists of Thiel CS 2.4's, BAT preamp and Halo a21 amp with Purist Audio Design speaker cable. Pretty much a polar opposite approach to the Zu set up! | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I own a pair of Zu Omen Def mk II's with the Radian upgrade and I will be receiving my Decware SE34I.5 SET amp this Wednesday! Very excited - it's been a 3 month wait. I'll report on it if anyone is interested, but from what I've read I don't thi... | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded Jea48,i did get the hum with the preamp turned completely off - though barely audible, itwas there, just not as loud. | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded GOOD NEWS!!!So I found a proper cheater plug and tried putting it on the tube amp only - buzz completely gone whether the phono pre was on or off. So it appears the amp was to blame and the phono preamp just amplified the problem. So now, hopeful... | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded Ok here is the results with power of preamp and amp on:hot + neutral = 120.5V+/-hot + ground = 120.5V +/-neutral + ground = .05V steady | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded That clarifies everything. I'm not too scared of it, i've done a little bit of electrical investigation on cars and a little on homes but I just like being very clear when I do stuff with it! | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded Will do - just so I'm clear:hot = smaller bladeneutral = larger bladeground = small round hole below the two blade holes. I know I sound like a simpleton here, but I don't want to shock myself or damage the equipment. Also I'm assuming I will not ... | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded The house is 15 years old. So new buy code standards. The room is a small bedroom. | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded An easy test would be to use a heavy-duty extension cord and run it to a receptacle on a different breaker, (as mentioned above). Then listen to amp onlyI have tried this but I didn't try ALL outlets. I can give it another try. By chance do you ow... | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded I just unplugged everything but the amp. I didn't notice before the same buzz/hum is there but bearly audible. This make me think that the noise is in the AC line. The phono preamps amplifies small signals so is it possible this bearly audible sou... | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded With only the preamp connected to the power amp, TT not connected to the inputs of the preamp, unplug the preamp from the AC power. Turn on power amp and check for the buzz/humDid this and no hum. I'm not clear what that proves or disproves, if ... | |
