Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I'm finally cracking the conundrum of the 4s, ie so much potential, but so many ways to not get them to sound that great. I've really been struggling getting esp. my tt to sound on a par with my prev 2s, and this has been spoiling my overall enjoy... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil, your thoughts on toe in are spot on, I've reverted to a less acute angle for the 4s, their axes now intersect just behind the listening position. I'm still having frustrating issues dialling in analog, and am of the firm opinion that these s... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Hi Markpao, you certainly haven't understated the situation when it comes to the need for constant tweaking of the 4s to get them to sound of their best! I'm back to less toe in, but 8' apart is as far as I'm likely to get.One big difference which... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil et al, can you pass an opinion on this? I'm sitting 12' from my Def4s with them 8' apart and 4' from the front wall. I've absolutely LOVED them playing cd, but have struggled a bit otoh playing lp's, to the point of distraction that no amount... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Hmm, expensive tubes, and just when you thought you could get off the constant, pricey, upgrade path...Back to the matter at hand, the Def4s. These really are chameleon like, and require a LOT more work than the 2s to get right, but BOY is it all ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Gemini, I can't comment on the Soul, just the Def2s and 4s. I'm not hearing any decrease in liveliness, the extra transparency of the 4s' FRDs is providing even more life at low levels in my system, minimising any remaining veil to the music occas... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I believe it's resolution at low levels is exemplary, a lot to do with it's famous tone dense presentation, high efficiency and lack of crossover.Density of tone means that the sound is fully fleshed out from low, late night volume levels, whereas... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Sorry A'goners for my delay in my last posts re the Def4s, but "real life" intruded over the last week. I've found that as I've gotten older, and family/business issues become more serious and intrusive, I more and more really crave the serenity t... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Absolutely, Gopher. So, I've covered the all important FRDs. Now onto the bass. Any reservations as to 4 x 10" woofers being replaced by a single 12" dedicated sub were blown away by the rapid realisation that the full bass extension of the 2s had... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Ok, time for the second part of the early listening experience with my new Def4s. At present I'm only listening to cd, and as an analogue fan, any extra enjoyment when listening to the necessary evil that is digital is a massive plus.I previously ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Well, the Def4s have arrived, and I'm still taking stock of them, so my considered response will take the form of a few postings. I thought I'd leave a few initial impressions. First aesthetics; I'm SSSOOOO glad my girlfriend made me go for Cosmic... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Excellent review of the 4s just published on The Audio Beat. Roy Gregory concludes that they are virtually unbeatable value for money at their price point, on a par with performance of some spkrs twice their price. He also feels that they balance ...

Zu Denon 103 and Transfiguration Orpheus just sent off for stylus retip/cantilever upgrades. Likely to be some time.Fascinated to see how my game changing tt/arm will either accentuate or close the gap in sound quality btwn one cart which is a wor... 
Why do I like the Denon 103r so much?
Tobes, I very much like what I am hearing you say re the Soundsmith retip. After some consideration, and living in England, I made the practical decision to send my retip/cantilever upgrade of my Zu Denon 103 (and Transfiguration Orpheus) to the E... 
Why do I like the Denon 103r so much?
Jeff, my experience mirrors yours. I had sworn by my Transfiguration Temper Supreme, and then Orpheus, for 12 years, marvelling at it's detail and neutrality. I then got a bit fed up of the experience of retipping every 18-24 months, and took a ch...
