| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Jea, yes maybe it is more accurate to describe Tellus as a grounding box, especially since it's separate from the grid, and is not meant to replace the (electrical) protective earth. The box is passive and standalone, and might best be described a... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Jarraa, have left it at only connecting the preamp to the Silver Tellus. We tried one from the earthing post on my phono stage, but this actually didn't enhance the sound. This may not be the case on every system, the dealer was a little confused ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Thank you Jordan, that's put an interesting perspective on things. As it stands, I've been running my Hovland tube pre/SS power for 8 years, and no other SS alternatives make me want for more. They have a real liquid ease to playing music, natural... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup At present most interested in the OTL synergy with the 4s, esp GBoxers experiences with Atmasphere. My Zu dealer has great things to say esp. with the S30 powering the 4s. Allowing for his dealer bias, he's heard the 4s powered by Audion at Phil's... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review I must have missed Fremer's thoughts on the NVS in Stereophile. Can anyone post a link, or paraphrase his opinions. Thanks. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil, my new tt/arm is proving to be so sensitive to setup in terms of level/vta/azimuth, that it's taken me ages to dial in my spare Zu 103 (demolished the cantilever of my main cart, clumsy boy!). But as I approach optimum, it reminds me so much... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Mr G.Boxers, I am most interested too in your amp shootout. I'm afraid in the UK there is no Coincident representation, but my Zu dealer represents Atmasphere, and highly recommends them for the 4s. And near to London is the official dealer for Au... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Phil, as usual you've hit the nail on the head. On an answer in the 'systems' section that I posted to the owner of a $500k+ system challenging the uber inflated prices of spkrs with no real claim to engineering prowess or originality, I was to... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Sorry Warrenh. I'm not a physicist or acoustics expert, so if any others can contribute a better explanation, please do.Bass frequencies set up excitatory points in a listening space. As they reflect off the room walls, they meet other bass waves.... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Charles, yes the Koda is ss pre and tube pow, Ypsilon is both tube and hybrid pow and tube pre. From what I gather, they are fantastic hand crafted exotica with prices to match (£65000+ the Koda combo/$100000+ the Ypsilon combo). The Koda in parti... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh, I believe the PEQ adjustability on the 4s' sub bass is there just to sort out bass humps etc in the listening space. As I explained on my detailed previous answer, I found my prev 2s' bass never smoothly integrated in my room, and the Bla... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh, you are going to be one happy camper. I have to say even with the 4s more controllable bass, I'm still glad I have the Black Hole to help with those pesky nodes/standing waves.Phil, totally out of most of our price brackets, but I have be... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh, when I was running my Def2s from 2007, I was bowled over by their immediacy and purity of tone, but could never really dial the four sub bass drivers, hence bass overhang always dominated the sound. I saw a reference to a company called S... | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge SG-200 cartridge system 981, wow, that is quite an analog rig you are swapping out. But to do so before you've even heard the new cart (either in your system, or demo elsewhere), that's quite brave. How do you know you're going to prefer it? | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil, re reading your post, I've slightly rushed to judgement. Your thoughts on picking a small list of familiar bass orientated cuts makes sense, and systematically make small alterations, then go to the next adjustment.Interestingly, when I sent... |
