| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD As I stated in my previous message I have had the Antipodes DX for approximately 3 months. I am using it with an Auralic Vega DAC. While I believe this is a very a good DAC for the money, I also realize it is not playing in the major leagues. Beca... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I've had the Antipodes DX for close to 3 months. I became interested in it last year when Steve (audioengr) won "best of show" using it with his DAC and commented on it positively. If there is no objection I'll post some of my thoughts about it on... | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Three months ago I purchased a Bakoon Amp-12R to pair up with my Zu Def IVs. This replaced a SMc VRE-1C pre-amp and Yamamoto 300B amp. I had been happy with this combination for 5 years driving first the Mk IIs and then the Mk IVs. The specific im... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Hi Spiritofmusic,In my system there is no loss of the "seductive Zu tone". If anything it is more dense and fleshed out due to the increased mid-range resolution and improved bass and treble. Instruments sound more natural and realistic. With thes... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Received my Def 4s yesterday. I seriously considered upgrading my old 2s to 3s, but this thread pushed me to the 4s. As previously stated, this is a totally different speaker from the 2s. In my room there are huge improvements in all areas. The ne... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I agree 100%. However, the Def III gets the new hypex amps and it looks like the same bass control package as the Def IV. I have to believe these will result in some improvements to the bass of Def II. I do not expect it to be as good as the Def I... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Gsm18439 - the rear firing base array is not replaced as part of the Mk III upgrade. One other item of note is Zu said they would only be doing the Mk III upgrades until this fall. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I currently have the Def IIs. I requested and received information from Zu last week on the "Definition Mk III Transform". The work they do is extensive, much more than replacing the 10" drivers. The speaker is totally disassembled. They rematch t... | |
| Belles 350A vs McCormack DNA-225 for Usher BE-718 Have you considered having Steve upgrade your DNA-1? I think his Gold Mod for the DNA-1 is in your price range. The mods may give you that extra you are looking for. His mods are listed on his www.smcaudio.com. You may want to give him a call or e... | |
| SET amp recommendations for Zu Definition II's I have been using a Yamamoto A-09S, 300B amp for last 2 years with my Def IIs. I have had no desire to change. I did demo the Art Audio PX-25 before I bought the Yamamoto. I thought it matched up very well. I have seen them for sale here at pretty... | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? I have been using a Yamamoto A-09S 300B amp with my Zu Def Mk IIs for the past two years. Absolutely no desire to change. Good luck. | |

| Luxman M-600A A couple of years ago I bought a pair of speakers from Bill. As he is within easy driving distance from where I live, I set up an audition with him. I will admit I was not sure what to expect based on his Agon character. During the audition I foun... | |
| Cary 306/200 and the Logitech Transporter I have a Cary 306-200. It is a good player. I had it upgraded by Dan at ModWright. It then became a very good player. I then bought a Squeezebox and hooked it up through the Cary DAC. The Cary as a stand alone player was better. I then bought a Mo... |
