| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Spirit - Thank you for your reply. Gives me something to consider. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Spirit - did you eliminate the power conditioner in favor of the balanced power transformer, or are both employed? Also, do you plug all of your equipment into the balanced power transformer, or just some pieces? | |

| Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac Agree with Sebrof. Same with my 244s. The side and back "framing" are open on purpose for trapping instead of reflecting. It is a bass "trap". Not done to be cheap, but rather for better effectiveness. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Most recent favorite brews: Skull Splitter (Orkney Brewers, Scotland); Saison Rue (The Bruery, CA); KBS (Founders Brewing, MI). |
