Speakers that turn your analytical mind off?
Czarivey, Not sure I understand your question... 
Speakers that turn your analytical mind off?
Bombaywalla, Thanks for the response. Your facts are incorrect about the Mosaics but I do appreciate the advice. 
Speakers that turn your analytical mind off?
Zd452, Truly excellent point and one that I have a hard time admitting to myself. The problem is my expectations for the dollars spent. The price/performance ratio in audio is an asymptotic line but I believe my expectations are more of a straight...

Nice spelling...that's as and not ass. 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I've resisted posting much on the forums in the last few years because it mostly seems like an exercise in mental masturbation. That being said, I must give credit where it is due and thank those that pushed me toward the L4 Lampizator. It is a tr... 
Do stands make a difference for equipment?
I have not owned every rack on the market so I can't make a definitive statement on the subject like Elizabeth and it would be nice to know her experience with racks to judge the validity of her opinion. I wish her statement was true...It's not. I... 
ZU CAMPFIRE CHOW DOWN
I've used numerous SS amps on the Definition IV's including the ASR Emitter and my current amp Abbingdon Music Research AM-777...It's a fantastic match with the Defs. The DP-777 dac hogs all the attention of the media as a superlative component an... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
Sycophancy, solipsistic, Spider plays the fool to lure the fly...Them Crooked Vultures 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
It's actually very easy. You place the coupling disc on the spikes and secure it to the sides of the spike with a piece of tape. Then, just give the Defs a bear hug and set them on the spikes with the discs. It's a remarkable stable platform. Once... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
As you wish Andrew. I've posted photos of my system for everyone that is concerned about the stability of the Definitions on the Sistrum SP-101's. When you see the photos, it's much easier to understand why it is a very stable platform. 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Fred, The Sistrum's were purchased after the Def 4's so no experience with them and previous models. Chalresidad has a good descriptionof the Sistrum efects and I concur with his statements. The difference is anything but subtle. I haven't noticed... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Gopher, I have been fortunate enough to hear the Metrum Octave and AMR on the Def 4's ( in different systems). The Octave is a nice dac at its price point but suffers the same tonal leanness and digital signature that every SS dac at that price po... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
The linestage is absolutely excellent and I would suspect it would be a close race (assuming you don't need extra gain) and would likely make you consider letting the XP-10 go but there is only one way to know. If you happen to go down that route,... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
It's stable...not as stable as 4 spikes on the ground but it's stable. It would take a significant attempt or accident to get it to fall. I had a big "oafy" dog and you nieces around them all the time and never gave it a second thought. Star Sound... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Gopher (Fred) is a great guy but I will have to disagree about the DP-777. I ended up purchasing one just over 1 year ago so I feel like I have a handle on it at this point(I'm the original poster of this thread). My opinion is not worth any more ...
