| Help finding a Sub w/ quick punch down to 20hz The Svs ultras are really nice. | |
| Upgrade Druid IV to new Superfly 1.B driver? Sean suggested the new drivers to me. I have the nanos on order...... However my Druids are internally modified with a griewe wedge, extra bracing plus soundcoat and Mundorf/Duelund hipass........ All suggested by Sean. I have Libtec cables and in... | |
| Recommended coax cable for Metrum Octave I changed the RCA to a 75ohm bnc on my metrum, so now bnc from jkmk3 to metrum. A worthwhile endeavour. | |
| Recommended coax cable for Metrum Octave Black cat Silverstar is great for the money. | |
| Rethinking my system: Your ideas are appreciated Zu omen may be good. I listen to similar music and Zu speakers are full of tone and dynamics that project into the room. Guitar/vocals are especially good as most Marshall/Fender stacks use Eminance speakers upon which Zu is based. They're designe... | |
| Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave Check out John Darkos review. He prefers the JKMk3 to the AP2 with the Octave, It's smoother and less digital. I have the JKmk3 with my Octave fed by a 2011 Mac mini using Bitperfect or Audirvana plus up sampled to 176khz and it sounds great. | |

| Zu Mission vs Event Cables Events are silver based where Mission are copper. I have missions...... They replaced Gedes and Varial mk3. Ask the Zu guys, Sean or Gerrit........ For my speakers they advised staying with Libtecs. | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Druids are perfect for tubes, 12 ohm easy load and 101db meas a few watts will blow the doors off. | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? Zu audio speakers use pro drivers based on those used in most Marshall stacks etc but modified for domestic use. I've never heard speakers with more guts, shove and scale....... Sure they're 101db but you can power them with 300w and no compressio... | |
| BEST SUB FOR HT:MUSIC 50-50 with CM9/CMC2/CM5 SVS make awesome subs, even the drivers are built in house. | |
| warm digital cable Cardas neutral ref is warm but the Zu Ash mk3 is more detailed. Both are better than stereovox vx2. The black cat may be worth a listen tho as its from the same guy as the illuminati, stereovox and Kimber | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I heard the Druids had most synergy with Libtec cables. I preferred the mission ICs to the Varials and gedes. No harm in checking out wywires......... Go for it :) | |
| DAC recommendations CI Audio VDA2/ VAC1 second hand. | |
| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server USB to spdif converters like the JKmk3 , Audiophileo or Offramp make a drastic change to the Mac Mini USB performance. Most USB implementations in dacs are poorly optimized compared to their spdif. Mac Mini with one of these should match your CDT.... |
