Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
No worries about either one. Even if the spike gets between the grates on the sub(coupling disc falls off), the spike is sufficiently wide that it is stopped on the aluminum plinth before it gets close to the driver. Regarding stability, I have g... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Germanboxers, I don't know if you are asking me but my name is Dave and I own the Def 4's on Sistrum Sp-101's so here goes. It's actually very simple. You place the stand where you want it and adjust the 3 feet so they will be in an appropriate pl... 
What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why?
I must admit I'm a bit disappointed by the number of EE's willing to share their experience/expertise. Thank you to those that did. 
What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why?
Zd542, I actually own a pair of amps that I absolutely love and can't imagine ever giving them up and they are a fraction of the cost of my last amp. Clearly there isn't always a correlation with price and synergy (or quality) and I'm trying to ed... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Gsm18439, We are all using Star Sound Technologies stands. 3 of us are using the Sistrum sp-101 and the other is using a smaller stand. A call to Robert is free and he is generous with his time...A real eye (and ear) opener for me. I have Agear to... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Everyone who knows me knows that I have been drinking the Zu Kool-Aid for years now. I agree with Phil (213Cobra) that finding the right amp is fundamental to building your system around the Definitions. Having patience and willingness to try nume... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Andrew, There have been some major changes in my system. The biggest change has been the Definition IV's over the previous 2's and 213Cobra has eloquently described the differences so I won't elaborate on that further. Regarding SET's vs. Luxman a... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Glory, Being the owner of the Def 4's you heard and being the former owner of the actual Def 2's you currently own, I will totally agree with you that the sound coming from them at the party was awful. They were essentially plopped down in the roo... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
All I can say is that I was smitten with my Def 2's and went out to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest looking for a complimentary amp. After hearing the Def 4's, you will never be able to go back to the 2's. The only thing they share is the name, form fac... 
TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS
This will always be a battle of the Hatfields vs the McCoy's but in my system, the Zu modified Technics 1210m5g with Zu Denon 103r was so much more engaging than my Well Tempered Amadeus with Dynavector xx-2 cartridge that there was no way I could... 
TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade
I have a brand new Dude if anyone is looking to purchase this stellar preamp. Email me for details. 
A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread
My listening position is a little greater than 110 inches. An equilateral triangle isn't a necessity. I would see what seating area gives you the best frequency response and go from there.David 
A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread
I have a loaner pair of Omens while waiting on my new Definitions and I assure you the speaker is capable of a psychedelic soundstage that extends in all directions outside the boundaries of the speakers and they disappear well. I have them positi... 
EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC
Do you think anyone would be daring enough to post a youtube video on how to change the opamps. I would love to do it but would definitely feel more comfortable actually seeing it. 
Best Speaker under $3K - New or Used
I would take a long look at the Zu Soul Superfly's. They absolutely disappear when properly placed with killer tone, fantastic dynamics, no phase or timing issues because there's no crossover and can be driven by just about every amp that was ever...
