Zu on Zu
Onhy61, I couldn't agree with you more. I've been following the Zu threads and the claims being made by so many of the 'users' are reminiscent of claims made by users of other 'unusual products' in threads long deleted. Contrary to peaking my inte... 
IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER
I had this problem for years and in more than one house and with several speakers. I had assumed I had a hearing problem in my right ear (image shifted left). Long story short - it was because of the speaker placements interaction with the rooms a... 
Bloated speakers/weight wise
I've a pair of Paragon Jubilee/Jems, a two piece three way speaker. 150lb's. Lead lined to reduce cabinet resonances. They produce a very clean signal (Dynaudio drivers) so I imagine the lead lining must work (in conjunction with thier potted in e... 
contradictory communication
Pabelson, Of course these words mean 'something', its just that one has to work hard to ferret out the meaning being applied by each user. No difference between how people apply modifiers to audio or anything else. Some folks overvalue consistency... 
What outlet should I choose.....
Sammie, I agree with your last sentence. Personally, I would opt for the less expensive outlet. Unless you have the finest equipment capable of revealing VERY subtle differences in your room, I doubt that you would ever hear a difference, assuming... 
Audio Mags/A believer or skeptic?
I look at all of the pretty glossy pictures in the 'rags', then I read all of the reviews, then I check all of the internet sites for user comments, and when I've finished all of my research I decide I can't make a decision and go back to my fanta... 
DK Design Review
"I'd look into a 12 step program real soon"Then you should. :-) 
DK Design Review
"DK is taking over the industry". What a crock of crap that is! X-Dream F7, is that in production? Where can I audition it or buy it? Perhaps Larry is just waiting for the opportunity to pounce on the opportunity that the review presents, or more ... 
Jumpers - How good do they really have to be?
Consider that your question considers the effect of using a couple of inches of wire between your speaker cable and the internal wiring (which for sure is not the same). Personally, I would opt for the less expensive version of AP's jumpers as I s... 
Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's,
Bartockfan, I think you just have to listen to the Linbrook Sig Systems with the dual 8" woofers and the Ref 3's. You may discover that the MTM & dual 8" woof's give a smoother integration between bass and midrange than the single mid/woofer o... 
Do you believe everything you read on the internet
I tend not to believe anything from a source when I have no knowledge of the source's motivation. I just file it away for background. Around here your financial survival and mental health requires as much - caveat emptor rules!'taint just the net,... 
New to tubes have questions
1) No. But the sound may not be all that pleasant. I typically turn on my system and let it warm up (with music playing) at lower volume for about 30 minutes.2) Yes. A couple of minutes for initial setting, and then after about an hour or two for ... 
Would spikes help me?
Didn't Tyler supply spikes? The spikes for my speakers were in the base at the bottom which is removable, but then these are not the PD series. Give Ty a call. FWIW spikes thru carpet to the floor will give you at least a more secure foundation fo... 
the changing sound of compoents over time
Pabelson, An astute astute response. LOL. I'll be sure to stay out of the attic. :-) 
Musical Fidelity X-10v3 Problem.....
As I recall, this is a tube buffer stage. Have you checked to see if the tube is functioning. Try a new tube!
