| 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? | |
| Resistor to tone down tweeter? Certainly treat the first reflection points in your room. Also if there is a wall close to your back. You can get some panels from GIK http://www.gikacoustics.com. I prefer them because they work well, are very reasonably priced, and for WAF you c... | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? One who constantly lowballs you at all times of day and night with hopes that you will just give in and say yes.Now, if someone is harassing or spamming you, that is another story. That kind of behavior, whether from a low-baller or other, should ... | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? I find sellers' righteous indignation of low-ballers silly. "Oh my, I'm so offended by this offer." Really? Sheesh! If you don't want to be bothered with offers lower than X, then say so clearly in your ad, or just state your price is "firm". Then... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Most people don't know what the TRUTH sounds like in a recording because they weren't there when it was recorded and played back in the studio. Some believe that if your ears don't bleed while playing a mediocre recording then you are not hearing ... | |

| Live in your Detroit recordings... Yo Phase! Ex-Detroiter here (now Atlanta)...While I have many local Detroit recordings, not many are live. Now that I look, I am surprised at how few live I do have:Lonnie Smith - Live at Club MozambiqueBlues from the Heart ('94)Blues from the Hea... | |
| 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). | |
| How many albums do you need ? I have easily over 1,000 CDs. Around the time I hit 1,000 there were times when I thought of a song I wished to hear from my collection but could not recall the performer. It was then that I thought, "maybe I have too many CDs now?" But that momen... | |
| speakers for low level listening I had Zu Superflys in my home for several days. I found I liked them best for low level listening - really superb. Low level volume but still able to portray all of the recording, great dynamics, clear. If I only listened at lower levels I would h... | |
| speaker selection help ... on a budget For speaker budget under $1k I'd check on Wharfdale's offerings. Big band for buck. | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? jazz genre - Svend Asmussen - Grapelli-like in style. Check out his "Still Fiddling" release. | |
