| Soundsmith Straingauge SG-200 cartridge system Br3098, Tobes and Stringreen, thanks for your responses. Tobes, I see that you're running a Garrott P77 alongside your Soundsmith retipped 103. The Garrott is the very cart my tt designer is recommending I get to replace the Zu 103, run thru a Ray... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Hi everyone, Def 4s on track to be delivered to me in July/Aug. 213cobra and all others who've bedded in their 4s, how are they checking out after a few months of listening? | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable D, I've started learning v. fast with this rig; basically that one can have all the attributes of good vinyl ie tonality, dimensionality and transparency; with the advantages of good digital ie neutrality, stability and eveness of frequency respon... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Hi D, I bow to your preference in your system. Vic really believes that clamping, both central and periphery, deadens/dampens the sound, and certainly with the Salvation there appears no need to go beyond sole use of the Reso Mat, but all systems/... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Redglobe, I can't say whether I can be sure of hearing perfect pitch, I know classical and jazz musicians can. What I can say is that the Salvation is so speed stable compared to my belt driven Orbe that lead out grooves sound totally secure, and ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Hi Redglobe, using a strobe shows no variation in quiet or heavily modulated passages. I'd love a Sutherland Timeline to put this to the ultimate test. Platter is up to speed a mere 3 seconds after start up and it takes substantial external force ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Sgunther, I admire your total love for the Salvation/Terminator consigning the cd player out of your home, ha ha! The grand irony with me was that the cloying bass colouration which invades the mids on lp playback I had put down to the 'romantic w... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Vic has gone thru the Garrard 301/401, Lenco L77 and Technics SL1210 and SP10 with upgraded plinths on the way to perfecting the Salvation. Independent reviews put the Salvation ahaead of a tricked out Garrard 301.Redglobe, I listen to a lot of 70... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Mike, aiming to put pictures when my updated Zu spkrs/rack arrives in the 'system' section of A'gon. I worked out that to get a bit of this non belt magic I'd have to save for a few years more to get your NVS (or The Beat/ Grand Prix Monaco etc), ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Hi Germanboxers, any further comments on the 4s if they're opening up? Interesting that my 2s took about a fortnight before they gave of their best, your 4s seem to be taking a little longer. Hoping to have mine ready by early summer, will comment... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? From what I gather on comments here, The Radian supertweeter is sweeter and more extended than the rather rough and ready unit in previous Definition models (like my 2s). I'm really hoping it's going to integrate well with the FRDs and ease my cur... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Redglobe, you can use an outer ring with a non-Trans Fi tt using the Terminator. The problem is using the Salvation, it has an oversized platter the outer edge of which is mere millimetres from the Terminator arm base construction.I agree with you... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Thanks Phil. Actually, I've always found Zu products haven't required serious break-in, obviously several hours must be performed at the factory before they're delivered. This applies to the Zu Event phono cable I've bought recently: it sounded gr... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Redglobe, I'm v.close to making a decision to buy the Salvation w. Terminator arm. My only other possibility is the Technics SL1200-derived Inspire Monarch.I can tell you if you use it with Vic's Terminator T3Pro linear tracking arm (his preferenc... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? A little update to my order. Sean of Zu informs me he has an improved finish called Soft Touch, which purports to be, well, softer to the touch! That is, over their more standard Nextel. I'm likely to go for this in Cosmic Carbon.Any further thoug... |
