| Help Loud pop when muting BAT VK-3i preamp >>Smeyers: Would you mind contacting me after you get the diagnosis from BAT? It could save the preamp a trip if it ends up just being tubes.<<Sure. I don't think it is a tube problem though, as I just got a brand new set from BAT. My ... | |
| Help Loud pop when muting BAT VK-3i preamp Interesting... I just purchased a VK-5i here on Audiogon, and I have the same problem. I had another problem in addition, so sent the unit to BAT to look at. I wonder if it's a common problem with all their older preamps.- Stew | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs Thanks much Marco for all the info. Based on that and other research I've done, I just purchased a pair of Mono 10's from someone here on Audiogon. I'm using Zu Tone speakers with a claimed 101db sensitivity, so hope that there will be enough powe... | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs I got it, thanks. | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs Jax,Thanks for the tip. I don't know anything about their amps, but the price is certainl right. Basically, I'm currently using AES (Cary) Sixpac Amps (with KT-66 tubes), and just switched to Zu Tone speakers, which are very sensitive (claimed 101... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? One other thing I forgot: the speakers can play quite loud without breakup, which might help with your HE speaker decision.- Stew | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? I have the Zu Tone monitors, and if they are anything like the Druids, this is what you will get IMO:Good Stuff1) A speaker with electrostatic speed and detail without the power requirements, limited sweet spot, and space requirements.2) A speaker... | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs Mcfarland,Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look.Ghostrider,Ah, I hadn't thought of that. I'm running long interconnects to the amps, and it seems running balanced from the preamp to the amps is considerably less noisy than with a single-ended conne... | |
| tube amps or amps between $1000 and $2000 I'd agree with Dwhitt about the AES SixPacs. 50wpc with the standard EL34's, and around 35wpc with somewhat lusher KT-66's. I had Monitor Audio GR60's hooked to them at 90db sensivity, and the SixPacs had absolutely no problem driving them to mid ... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies Thanks Mihilli, I was told the speakers had about 70 hours of playing time when I received them, so I do plan on spending some time to see what happens after they break in a bit more. I find it a little hard to believe that they will change that m... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies >>You might check out the Zu Audio circle at Audocircle.com.<<Thank you; I will. | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies I'd to hear from people that don't feel they have this problem with the speakers. Is it possible that certain batches are defective? If they all sound like this, how can they have such positive reviews? I am correcting this problem with digital EQ... | |
| Anyone heard Zu Druid speakers? "finally heard these. good , but certainly not classic."What do you mean by this? Details? | |
| Anyone heard Zu Druid speakers? I read this thread with interest, as I recently aquired a pair of Zu Tone's. I really like the idea of using low powered SET tube amplification, and already have a pair of Entec subs to augment the bass.So far, I sort of agree with both Tvad and P... | |
| Easy to Drive Bookshelf Monitor? Tobias, thanks for the suggestions. I knew about the Triangle, but read some varying things about it... I just got the impression that it wouldn't fit what I am looking for.The Aurum might be a possibility. It seems the Leisure 2 SE actually has a... |
