| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Charles, I'm going to go one stage further. We're apparently all agreed that a major aim of the high end is to get as close as possible to the fidelity of live music.One thing I don't hear in live music is a delineation between low, mid and high f... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh, from what I gather it may not be for the total layman. The two FRDs and tweeter lens have to be carefully loosened, and apparently at this point it can be quite easy to drop the tweeter body since it weighs c.15lb!Once disengaged, the old... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh, good that you're more relaxed. Cap upgrade, or no, you'll be amazed by the 4s. They take EVERYTHING good about the 2s, and just enhance the whole listening experience. A big part of my system has changed with new tt/arm, modded Zu 103 car... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Thanks, Charles, your comments on the Duelund fills me with confidence ahead of the big installation. I don't think I have one audiophile grade album in my collection, but a real spectrum from awful to pretty impressive. If the Duelund is essentia... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil, according to my UK Zu dealer, the cap upgrade change to the Def4s is between ClarityCap and Duelund VSF Black Cu. I believe Charles1dad has upgraded his (non Zu) spkr caps to the Duelund CAST Cu, but Sean of Zu has no experience of these.Whe... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh, please don't worry. You are NOT going to be disappointed with your Def4s, even if you haven't made a comparison to the Druid Vs. The lowest octave that the 4s provide should be decisive over the Vs, and I'm not convinced that Druid V plus... | |
| Esco cantilever/stylus mods for Zu Denon 103R Just an update, it without doubt knocks my previous reference Transfiguration Orpheus out of the park! No mean feat. And is a distinct step up from the stock Zu 103. It's sound literally improved daily until the 75 hr mark, now it's a marvel of co... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Yes, Townshend is a game changer. But the Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive tt (a little out of this price range c$4000, BUT INCLUDING Terminator T3Pro air bearing linear tracking arm), is not so much a game changer, but it redefines the rules (... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I'm aiming to put one Symposium Acoustics Rollerblock Jr module at each corner of the two spkrs, and place them on Svelte Shelves. My Symposium Isis rack has been fantastic at isolating my main components, and I'm hoping I'll get a similar level o... | |
| Rega P5 w/Denon 103R what should I upgrade to? Vince, take the plunge on the Zu 103, it beats the stock 103, and is well worth the money ($800+). I've gone on to get the Expert Stylus And Cartridge Company here in the UK to mod it with Paratrace stylus and White Sapphire cantilever for £280 ($... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Naggots, as far as I can tell from my dealer, Zu supply a network ie not just cap, but in conjunction with the 2 resistors etc. I suspect (although not sure) they'll be all Duelund. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Thanks Charles, decision to go down VSF Black Cu in motion, waiting on Zu's Sean and my UK dealer to liase to do upgrade. My Hovland amps are really hitting the sweet spot via the Def 4s, no upgrade needed here, so this is a no brainer to squeeze ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Warrenh, first off, you're going to be SO stoked with your 4s (and I suspect your wife may be just a little pleased too)! Despite my original reservations that the tweeter wasn't a night and day upgrade in the 4s over the 2s, I've done a 180 on th... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Ok, another flaw, although this pertains to all tts. But the Salvation/Terminator REALLY needs to be level and free of vibration. Being a rig using an air bearing linear tracking arm, it must be perfectly horizontal, and is very prone to any up an... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Charles, just spoken to Sean at Zu. Their top option for cap upgrade to the Def 4s tweeter is the Duelund VSF Black Cu. He's not familiar with the CAST and hasn't experimented with it. So the Black VSF is where I'm going. |
