| tube integrated for Harbeth under $2500 Technically not tubes, but you might consider a Pathos Classic. Basically, a hybrid piece. Or, the Unico gear.PMB | |
| Amp advice sought for Coincident Total Victory Charles1dad, I am enjoying my Manley's very much. It seems that you are enjoying your Frankenstein's as well. If you like them as much as I like my Manley's, I'm still jealous :)Apparently there is a long-running debate about these particular Manl... | |
| Amp advice sought for Coincident Total Victory IF you can find them used, you may want to look at Manley Neo-Classic 300B SE/PP monoblocks. Unfortunatley, I thinkt he price went up to $9200 per pair today (might be tomorrow) from the previous $7400.I just bought a pair about a month ago. First... | |

| Experience with Decware Zen Open Baffle Speakers? Anyone? | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? I have a pair of Essence and have just transitioned to tubes from solid state-- actually, I'm still in transition as I won't have my pre until the third week of February.Current setup:Zu EssenceManley 300B SE/PP monoblocks (11 wpc SET; 24wpc PP); ... | |
| Decent budget turntable? I second the recommendation for the Pro-ject. Music Hall turntables are also made by Pro-ject.I would actually look at a Pro-ject Xpression III with a Speedbox. You should be pretty happy with that. I goofed around and ended up with a Pro-Ject Deb... | |
| Speaker cables for Zu Omens?? Just a thought, you don't need to have the bi-wire ends dangling in the air if they are spades. Just connect one set from the bottom and one end from the top to form a "ring".As an aside, depending on your listening preferences, you may want to tu... | |
| Speaker cables for Zu Omens?? I like Zebra Cables speaker cables for an inexpensive choice. They work well with my Zu Essence-- although not quite as good as my Libtech's overall they are actually better with some recordings.As Always, Your Mileage May Vary.PMB | |
| I am in the market for a $ 5-6 k monoblock amplif If you are looking at tubes, consider Manley Snappers, but you would need to order before February 15 when they are subject to a HUGE price increase.If you are looking at class D, I might suggest looking at Red Dragon Audio. They offer ICE amps fo... | |
| What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail? 2 suggestions:New Shunyata Venom. No personal experience here, but TAS jusy did a power cord shootout and the Venom was the best value.Second try Zebra Cables. I have 2 of their cables. 1 each of the shielded 12ga and the unshielded 10ga-- both wi... | |
| Monitor/Sub for low-powered tube amps lramirez, thanks for your input. That said, I already own a pair of Zu Essence. They are a very good match for my Manley amps. I am just trying to ascertain if there is a better match out there. I will probably post another thread in the future if... | |
| Question about entry level tables..Debut/CJ Walker I have a Debut III. You can usually get these from NeedleDoctor for at least 10% off list if you ask. Also, They run the gloss white on closeout from time to time. I picked up mine for less than $300 a few months back.That said, the Debut III is N... | |
| New Zu Mission cable Just thought that I would add my 2cents. Currently, I have a Rega Saturn as a source to my Rega Elicit feeding a pair of Zu Essence. I received some Mission interconnects along with Zu Libtec speaker cables when I bought the speakers. I also have ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly From what I gather, it appears that the Essence (more than the other Zu's) should be paired with a tube amp. I can state from experience that this is some extra "sparkle" when partnered with solid-state gear. That said, with toe-in limited so that... |
