Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts?
I tried to buy a pair of Teton speakers once.  The guy is a nutcase. After literally months of him telling me the speakers would be ready 'next month' I eventually got a rude email from him in which he gave me a big moan about all the problems in ... 
Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker
Hmmm, you guys certainly have a different experience to my dealings with Tekton Designs.I've been waiting since September last year for a pair of Lores(have now given up).Spoke to Eric Alexander directly, was promised they would be finished in 4-6... 
What is the one CD you can't find?
Naked & Warm by Bill Withers 
Another Zu Thread
Hey UndertowJust wondering, I see you can get threaded spikes. Will they fit the Definitions?Thanks 
Best Country/Rock - Poll
All right, here's an interesting suggestion for you.Nashville by Bill Frisell. Got some outstanding pickers on it (3 members of Union Station and others), a mix of traditional country and then of course (if you're familiar with this artist) Bill F... 
Undiscovered blues gems.....
Woody Mann, Mary Flower, Bob Brozman, Orville Johnson, Terry Robb, Bradley Litwin, Steve James, Del Ray.All acoustic musicians. All reasonably unknown. All disgustingly talented with great gobs of soul. (Yup, I'm a gutiar player). 
What does everyone think of Zu Cables Wax?
Owned the Kimber, Wax, the Anitcables and now the Reality Cables.IMHO, the Kimber was the bottom of the barrel, they just seemed to drain the life out of the music. The Wax are not bad, fairly warm, pretty good bottom end, but I didnt feel they de... 
Anyone heard the new Van Morrison, Pay The Devil
van the man has been "phoning it in" for about 10 years now. Unfortunate I love the guys stuff from his early(ier) days.What's the recording quality like on the Neko Case CD? Love her stuf but man she needs to find a sympathetic sound engineer(IMHO). 
Preamp recommendations for a Butler TBD2250?
Hmmm, don't recall ever saying it was a quality issue Phil, I think the Modwright is a damn good linestage. What I DID say was that I didn't feel like it was a good match for the Butler. And I stand by that.But thanks anyway for your, as always, i... 
Dali, Amphion, Zu
The autoresponse knockers get boring after awhile.Zu offers a FREE 60 day home trial. You don't have to buy before you decide. See if the other speaker manufacturers will offer you the same deal.Listen, then make your decision. 
Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome
Hmmm, interesting. I was always in the camp that says valves should be left on 24/7 but I was told by Response Audio that leaving it on 24/7 would dramatically shorten valve life as the 5687s run very hot.I usually have it running for 30 mins or s...

Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers?
They offer a free 60 day home trial.Why don't you see for yourself as opposed to depending on the opinions of those of us who have been converted (sold, shammed, biased, however you wish to look at it) and the opinions of the theorists who have re... 
Moving from L.A. to Sydney; The Voltage Issue
Plinius will certainly be able to change the psu to 240V for you. I would think Wadia should be able to do the same.As Plinius is a New Zealand company, you will be better off to wait till you get to Australia before doing anything. Plinius will m... 
Preamp recommendations for a Butler TBD2250?
I currently own the Butler 2250 and the Modwright 9.0Not a good match in my estimation. I'm now using the Modwright with an Audiosector Patek which has great synergy.Don't panic, the Butler is a beautiful amp, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it but I...
