| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III The Ayon amps to me for my taste yield somewhat dryer less warm mids, yet a beautifully detailed presentation with liquid highs full of finese, compared to the average tube amp. I think there may be good synergy of Ayon gear with warm speakers tha... | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? I have found that a very musical sub works well for my tastes with music. Something like the REL Strata or MJ Acoustics Ref100 should work perfectly. If you want something for Home theater to mimic dinasaurs stomping about, then get a more powerfu... | |
| Almarro A318B vs JAS Audio Bravo 3.2 2nd on the Almarro which works wonderful with my Zu Druids and should the Lore Also. From a friend who compared them, the Almarro has better mids than the JAS although the JAS is still nice and has a little more detail.By the way, the best pre tub... | |
| Looking for warm sounding speakers Zu Druids. Very musical, warm and efficient, great dynamics, quick. | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences I can't comment on the Essences, haven't heard them. However, I have heard the Soul Superfly and A-B'd them with the Zu Druid MK IVs. The Superfly in comparison was a little more linear and clearer and perhaps a smidge more bass. However, the Drui... | |
| Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence? One last thing, it is a little ironic that I would reject the new Zu line for being a little too forward to me (I have a bright DAC, that may be the real issue other than personal preference), and the Reviewer of the Tekton KatzMeow rejected the n... | |
| Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence? FYI, the Zu Soul Superfly is a wonderful sounding speaker. To put things into full context, to me the Zu Soul Superfly has great presence and has better soundstage and images a bit better than the Zu Druids and has more bass and detail without bei... | |
| Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence? What about the sound of Zu Omen to the Tekton KatzMeow? One audiphile just informed me that the Zu Soul seemed warmer and darker than the Tektons and for that he prefers the Tektons. Personally, I find the Zu Omen plenty open in my system, so movi... | |
| Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence? I also would like to hear of a comparison of the Tekton to the Zu line. I like the way Tekton gives you an optional grill, a traditional size cabinet, a satin finish (unlike Zu Audio's textured finish), and lets you upgrade to a premium finish at ... | |
| Is the Transporter Its nice to know that the transporter offer more options. More importantly to me though, is the difference in sound.Is there anyone out there who has both the duet and the transporter who can tell me from their personal experience with standard re... | |
| Upgrading Modifying Kora Hermes DAC Op Amp-Switch Bang for the buck, changing out the OP Amp and the power caps that precede it along with switching the brass RCAs to gold over copper would be the easiest budget based change which would involve minimal labor and materials with significant enhance... | |
| Upgrading Modifying Kora Hermes DAC Op Amp-Switch Forgot to mention that another wire that shows great promise for the digital signal is magnet wire. Magnet wire is commonly sold as hyped up Speltz ani-cable. By nature, it tends to convey the same detail and openess as silver without the harshnes... | |
| Upgrading Modifying Kora Hermes DAC Op Amp-Switch The basic bench fee mentioned was for the Op Amp change and better power side caps for the Op Amp only. Changing out the wiring and the Caps for the final tube processing would be more. Better to talk to Steve Sank of Talking Dog Transducer Compan... | |
| Upgrading Modifying Kora Hermes DAC Op Amp-Switch Not much at all for the mods. The first thing Steve did was simply to change out the Op Amp, which only takes a few minutes and is compatable - which by itself, changed the sound dramatically. Then when I asked if anything else would improve the s... | |
| Audio Note, Audio Logic, Kora Hermes Dacs ? I currently own a Kora Hermes DAC (original model) and previously owned an Audio Note 2.1.x dac. Both were great DACs. The Kora won me over with its slightly warmer midrange tonality. Just a tad more organic to me. Both have excellent sound stage ... |
