How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener.
Hi all, I started this thread, because, at one time, a long time ago, I owned equipment such as Krell, Audio Research, Martin Logan, and plenty more top rated and top dollar equipment. My current system, with modifications, cables, etc., is less t...

prof, what ? I listen about an hour a day. I listen to the music, and my system allows me to, happily. My system seems to not be there. I have a nice chunk of change if I wanted to get more expensive gear. As I said in my post, I have been there a...

Thank you.....And, gobs of detail ! As far as spending big monies on equipment, believe me, I have been there and have done that. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Best SS amp choice for Zu Omen
I saw your other post on pre amps. Some advice : Just slow down, listen, and take your time. Once the power cord breaks in, as the amp still is, determine, with the recordings you enjoy most, what are the attributes and deficiencies you are notici...

The AQ NRG-1 has a C7 connector, not the IEC connector. Signal Cable is a good bet, but, there are so many. Silnote has the Poseidon GL Reference Power Cable at 75 % off, and works well with the amp. Comes in various lengths, longer = higher price... 
Bozak concert grand speakers
It was a popular tweak back in the day, to fill up bags of sand and put them inside some speaker cabinets for additional mass and rigidity. And yes, I remember a few manufacturers having " bins " as part of the design for adding sand / lead shot (...

I am glad you are liking it so far. What I said in my post ( I do not know what happened to it ) was : I was looking forward to you receiving the amp. I had a tip : Leave music playing through it for a few days straight, as it does get better. In ...

I built my power cords ( which was not cheap ), and over the years have tried many Dacs ( all under 1K ), and I still enjoy my modified Adcom GDA 700. In my 2nd system, I use an Audio Alchemy DDEV3.0, with a modified power supply. Upgrading your D...

coachpoconnor. The Schitt is a better choice, but, you might just want to try your Nad as a preamp, as you will experience the small amount of play you would have in the volume control. The Nad will be in the ballpark of the Parasound. This will a...

You never mentioned the source ( s ), but Yes, it would be an excellent choice !  Enjoy ! MrD.

What are your sources. It is a high gain amp. I would recommend you read up on the STA 200, as well as the JOB 225 ( both designed using a Goldmund circuit, which Goldmund has been upgrading ( perfecting ) for 15 or so years, licensed out to Job a...

Audio Advisor still has the Nuforce STA 200 for $499. I know a few individuals who have it driving their Zu speakers, and are quite happy. Use your Nad as a preamp, or get a simple passive unit. I own 2, and I am very happy. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Horns: Why don't they image well?
As I have said many times on various A'gon threads, Klipsch were always designed with a particular price point in mind. My favorites, the original Heritage models, designed by PWK, were always, imo, and ime, great designs, but unless they were " f...
