| Possible move from Hovland amps? I definitely agree with the consensus that I'll listen for a good few months before considering any possible change from the Hovlands. It's a pair of components that have really proved their worth in the last 7 years, and any alternative would hav... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? The Audion and Berning will have to be a significant improvement beyond where my Hovlands are at present to consider upgrading. I remember when I got them in 2005 I was so happy with the excellent synergy between the tube pre and SS pow, and I'm s... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Phil, when I receive my Def4s I'm going to install them with my current Hovland HP200 tube pre/Radia SS pow amps.Luckily in the UK I will have the opportunity to audition Audion Black Shadows SET pow/Audion tube pre (or Silvercore TVC pre), Dave B... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Glory, sorry if I've misinterpreted your comments, it seemed to be a question with your pre decided conclusion in the same paragraph. I'm sure we'd all agree on a lot.I'm really hoping the UK review will be positive, the reviewer certainly likes D... | |
| Neodio NR22 Cd player - thoughts? I am going to investigate upgrading my power cord to a Zu Event, and improve vibration control to the EMM cd before I consider upgrading the whole player. My new spkrs arriving in Oct have better HF extension, so this combination may re establish ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Listening intently to the Salvation/Terminator. It's not a perfect component by any means, but picking up plenty of auditory clues which heighten the illusion of reality, certainly when compared to my belt drive. Firstly, snare drum - I can really... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Glory, you're reading a little too much into my comments. I made the choice of Cosmic Carbon from a few square inches of swatch, having never seen this colour in the flesh. So I just wanted some feedback from actual owners of Zu's in this colour t... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Phil, that's great news. Mine arrive in late Sep after their review period, and I'm really looking fwd to a major last piece of the jigsaw for my final system revision falling into place.In other words, tt/cd/amps all pretty much where I want them... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Hi Gopher, actually one of the big selling points of the Def2s when I bought them in 2007 was their coherence at low levels. This I believe is a big function of the high sensitivity and lack of crossover so less energy sucked out of the presentati... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Gopher, actually I'm quite smitten by your Cosmic Carbon Superflys. I really wanted something a little more unique than the ubiquitous black, but also wanted to stay colour neutral. I think I'm going to be happy with how they look, and sound. | |
| Neodio NR22 Cd player - thoughts? Thanks Andrew, personally I'm not going down the download/streaming route yet (I'm a bit old school!) so single box or transp/dac for me.Glad to hear you think it sits well with your analog. What's your tt/arm/cart?My main issue with digital is a ... | |
| Eera Tentation cd player - any thoughts? Yep, aware of the one and only Eng. language review.Surely others have an opinion, it seems to be selling to those dissatisfied in comparison with much more expensive rigs (DCS etc). | |
| Neodio NR22 Cd player - thoughts? Good advice Lloyd. TAD a "tad" out of my price range (not an original pun, but what the heck!).I'm certainly going to contact Wilson, Lamm etc. Hopefully they'll have an opinion on a player not their own.Really curious to find out if analogue like... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Just a thought on finish; I didn't go for piano black gloss or true black matte, but Cosmic Carbon. Such a different choice. It's never looked appealing in photos, but on a swatch VERY nice.Any Zu-philes out there familiar with it in the flesh ple... | |
| Neodio NR22 Cd player - thoughts? Can we please keep this thread on topic. Just curious to hear impressions of the Neodio and Eera; they're both "below the radar" but claim to get as close to analogue as any digital does.Would like to gather impressions. |
