Redglobe, I'll be contacting Vic next week, I'll keep you posted.I see others are enjoying their NVS dd tt's for 8x price of the Salvation, I'll keep enjoying mine at a real world price to achieve sonic nirvana!

Well after a lot of research on the web, I believe I may have found 3 players that will get me close to analogue-like satisfaction. Out of my price range is the Stahl Tek Vekian and Opus lines. But more affordable are the Neodio NR22 and Eera Tent...

Well, there's only one negative wrt this tt/arm: it's so good that it's seriously outclassing my digital (EMM Labs CDSA SE).With my previous belt drive Orbe/SME V, much as i still put lp ahead of cd, there were so many occasions where digital was ...

Yes Pete. I've been running Zu Definitions Mk2s since 2007, and have moved up to the new Def4s. I realise statements like 'game changer' could be viewed as a little over the top, but when your world view of audio is changed radically and irreversi... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
213Cobra. Phil, I hear exactly what you're saying re the QOL. I know you've commented on the NeutralAudio X-DREI, but this unit is getting v.little discussion. Any further thoughts on it's possible effects, and how it might stack up wrt the QOL?

Sgunther, I totally agree with you re the Salvation/Terminator being on the edge of state of the art. I've not heard more OTT designs like the Wave Kinetics NVS and Lumenwhite Mystere, but I'm confident Vic's babies can hold their head up high in ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Thanks again Phil, your informed comments on the Def4s are really filling me with supreme confidence that when mine are installed in 4-6 weeks, I'm going to get that step up in performance from the Def2s. 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil, I'm glad you stress the neutrality of the Event B3 SpeakOn cable. I'm finding more and more that neutrality and speed are what I'm looking for. My tube pre/ss pow Hovland combination will benefit from it I'm confident going into the Def4s.Ca... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil, plus others, any comments on the Zu Event SpeakOn connectors which maintains cable integrity from internal drive unit wiring to amps?Is it really the advantage it's touted to be? Have been quite happy to order it since price differential ove... 
Long term Hovland amp owners, are you still happy?
So I start a thread to celebrate the memory of Hovland, and the amps' place in relationship to the market in alternative choices, but so little interest.Am I the only owner out there, surely not?So let's hear from current Hov-philes, esp. if you'r...

Will be having my Zu Denon 103 and Transfiguration Orpheus carts upgraded with Paratrace stylii and White Sapphire cantilevers by Expert Stylus Company in UK.I will then a-b these with my current phono stage and possible upgrade against the Strain... 
Eera Tentation cd player - any thoughts?
Vic, I don't have any affinity with computers, even with 5" discs I love to handle software like my trusty vinyl.So for me computer audio is not the thing, but I'm aware I'm in a minority.From what I can gather the Eera is a real giant killer, app... 
Possible move from Hovland amps?
Sorry, Glory, never found Lamm my cup of tea, a little too cool, when heard at shows, AN gear a little too euphonically warm for my tastes.Both also a little out of my price range.Will def investigate Berning and Audion when funds allow.If money w...
