Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Jordan has answered my question about the Zu Druid/Definition  and Atma-Sphere amp comparison, leaning me toward the Druids.Thanks again,Mark 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Hello Jordan,I certainly does.  Before I returned to this discussion I had already replied to your email reply.  Would you have anything to add about the comparison in presentation between the Zu Druid V and the Definition (Mk IV?), with the M60's...

Charles,As advised, I sent an email to Germanboxers.Thanks,Mark 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
I've spoken with Ralph Karsten, who has given moderate endorsement of Zu speakers, so far not having been specific, tending to recommend AudioKinesis speakers.  I understand Sean Casey is out of the country presently, but I intend to speak with hi... 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
This a very informative discussion that I just found.  My question is about matching of Zu speakers and Atma-Sphere amps.  I've just made my first venture into tube amplification with the M-60 monoblocks.  My understanding is that these OTL amps w... 
Interaction between Vibrapods and shelf material
Thanks for the tip, Sfar. However, I'm certainly willing to consider moving on from Vibrapods. My main question is whether there is comparative experience with other coupling devices and how those devices have possibly interacted with their platfo... 
Interaction between Vibrapods and shelf material
Thanks for the responses. I understand that if I'm going to consider a change to wood shelves, then I would need to change to a different coupling device, like brass points or the Black Diamond Racing cones. I don't know if there would be expected... 
Noisy, loose Audience Au24e connector
Thanks for the responses. As I suspected, evidently the problem has occurred with several reputable companies' products. I must say again that I was very pleased with the Audience customer service. I purchased the cables here on Audiogon and certa... 
Herron VSTP 1A /166 describe sound
I just happened to see this post. You're speaking to a less experienced audiophile, having run less equipment through my listening room due in part to financial constraints. However, I have owned this pre-amp, along with the M150 monoblocks, as th... 
Spendor S5e mid-bass drive unit failure?
I apologize to the audio community and to Spendor. I have since learned that the noise was caused by one or more preamp tubes, which I replaced with the original EH 6922's. Tube rolling can be a frustrating and non-fruitful experince.Mark 
Tube Rolling Experience with the Herron VTSP-1A
Chatta, Thanks for your reassurance about the Herron equipment. Perhaps others out there have a similar view and that's the main reason for lack of response. 
Tube Rolling Experience with the Herron VTSP-1A
I don't know if my question is too elementary or too specific. Maybe there is little experience with tube rolling in this preamp. I don't want to sacrifice neutrality, but what I have read about the later preamps Keith has designed would suggest p... 
Matching with Audio Note speakers
Addendum:I spoke today with Neli Davis, at Audio Federation, Inc.in Boulder, CO. She was very informative and helpful in discussing the different high end AN speakers. She was NOT discouraging about the use of good SS amplification. Again, at some... 
Matching with Audio Note speakers
Thanks again for the imput. Muzikat, you've got me thinking about the smaller AK speakers, the AN-K and AN-J. I've got more research to do and ideally at some point I would like to audition the speakers. I also have call in to the U.S. distributor... 
Matching with Audio Note speakers
Dwhitt,Yours is a point well taken. However, I was hoping to hear from others with experience in using the Audio Note speakers in SS systems.
