Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Boys (and girls), I'm getting real lonely here. Is there anyone out there?!I would really recommend Def4 users to consider options other than the stock spikes, eg my Symposium solution, Stillpoints SS/Ultra5s, etc.Even w/the improved bass performa... 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Just thought I'd try and ressurect the half-comatose Def4 thread. There seems to be some debate over base plate/plinth-floor gap-spacing on Zu's, esp the Druids. But w/the downfiring sub bass of the 4s, this consideration should be relevant w/the ... 
Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please...
That's ok Terry. I think that my maintaining perfect levelness of the arm over the zone that the cart tracks (easy with a linear arm, it's in effect a horizontal sweep across the platter) should be sufficient.Good thing too, since for the life of ... 
Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please...
Tms, and others, how have you achieved perfect level for the T3Pro? I use Vic's Salvation, and like many tt's the Salvation has 3 adjustable feet. I've always struggled w/getting ALL three feet on the tt to be equally level - whenever I get two fe... 
Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please...
Just to add my 2 cents, have been running the T3Pro, w/recent Tomahawk wand upgrades, on Vic's Salvation direct rim drive tt.Concur w/all that the main consideration is getting the arm PRECISELY level. Once that is achieved, day to day use of the ...

Keithr, I have no contact for Bob, and being here in the UK might preclude liasing w/him. If possible could you ask his availability to help me, I'd be most grateful.Just installed the 4 box SOTA Audion Quattro dual-mono/dual-psu preamp. And I'm i... 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Well, I've just taken a punt on an Audion Quattro 4 box preamp, their top of the range, w/various cap upgrades. Got it used at a price I just couldn't turn down. It has a 2 week return period, so if I don't get on w/it, I can always get a refund.

Keithr, can you tell me as much detail about this change to the Audions to reduce noise? Is this one of the "level" upgrades you can make eg starting at base level 5, 9 being the ultimate w/full silver wire/transformer rejig?I have to say my deali...

Dragon, that's not so good. In all things audio YMMV, grounding just like anything else. I personally don't spend big $s/£s on anything w/out home demo/sale or return guaranteed. I'd recommend Goldeneraguy to def wait for trial facilities in the U...

My Audion dealer doesn't seem to promote the Audion pre to me. He's more a fan of tvc passives esp Silvercore and Music First. From my limited experience of a custom tvc using a Stevens&Billington transformer, detail was increased, but at the ...

Charles, Nat demo here just fine in due course, but no chance of comparing directly to the Koda/Audions, that experience was just a lucky coincidence. What I found w/the Koda was a total decluttering of the soundstage, any tizz/roughness eliminate...

Keith, I run a Westwick Audio pro-studio grade 8kVA balanced power transformer off a dedicated ring main, w/multiple sockets hard wired in. It is from this that I power the whole rig incl. the Def4s.You will not be sorry going over to Torus balanc...
