| Zu Omen Def Mk.2 - Updated Review Quick update:So I choose to to upgrade the Omen Def Mk2's with the Radian tweeters. So what benefits does the tweeter that crosses over at 12k bring - in one word ALOT! If if your thinking of plunking your hard earned cash on a set of Omens, no m... | |
| Dang my luck I contacted the seller (on eBay) and he said to ask Denon if this is normal. He has a very high rating on EBay from many buyers so I thought the risk was low. I have started a return request. I told him I would be happy and just send me another on... | |
| Dang my luck I can align the cantilever and that is not my main concern, however the stylus seems to be tilted about 2° to the side and That I am concerned about a little bit. I have done a listening test today just a few minutes ago based on realigning the ... | |
| Dang my luck I did while it was still screwed down to the box it came in. I installed it on the headshell so I could get my loop closer to it so I could give a good visual inspection and have a way to hold the cart without touching it. | |
| Dang my luck I have not tried it yet for fear of damaging my vinyl. | |
| Give me a straight Doc how bad is it? Nice thread title... Yeah, they don't really like you editing that bit. Go figure. | |
| Give me a straight Doc how bad is it? The cantilever does not have a crimp in it. I looked at the whole assembly through one of those high power coin loops, way more than the typical 10x and I saw no visible traces of the bend or me bending it back.But after I thought about it awhile... | |
| Sonist vs Zu...Anyone? My take on the Omen Def mk2'shttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/zu-omen-def-mk-2-updated-review | |
| More from VPI! other than the plinth is looks kinda like a Prime (or Scout for that matter). It would be interesting to compare the two. The prime is half the price so it better be significantly better for the $10K they are asking! | |
| Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ? You know I've thought about this off and on in the past and wanted to come up with a cheap DIY that would test if it would be worth pursuing. I came up with one idea. If you can imagine a bag of sand (or better lead shot) say 12" long 3" wide an... | |
| Zu Omen Def Mk.2 - Updated Review Whoopycat,I'm not an expert on tube amps since this is the first tube amp I've ever owned, but I can tell you how it sounds to me. It gives the Zu's a real "fleshy" sound, meaning their is an air of believability in the instruments and body to the... | |
| The $3,600 gamble The best way for me to explain the sound of the Zu’s would be to make an analogy:Its like a photo vs a great work of art of what the photo is of, for example, if you were to see a photograph of a scene Monet painted you could argue that the photo ... | |
| Zu Omen Def Mk.2 - Updated Review Jason, Great write up! I'm glad you shared, there are not many reviews on the mk2's, and none I know of with the Radians. Its funny you mention moving the Thiels, my only complaint it how HEAVY the Zu's are! My ole back struggles to move them ... | |
| Thiel Owners Michaeljbrown,sorry for getting to you so late. With regards to my BAT pre - I like love it. Tubes + SS on Thiel speakers is the perfect synergy. At least from my perspective. | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, i use Purist Audio Design, Venustas Rev1 for the speaker cable, Venustas Rev 1 for the phono cable and Cardas Clear Light balanced cables for everything else. |
