Just paid 50% deposit to get Def4s' construction up and running, aiming for completion June/July.Have decided on Cosmic Carbon finish.I believe the Zu's will improve my luck, make me more attractive to women, help me be successful in the Stock Mar...

Ghostinthemachine, I'm based in the UK, so my advice is to email Sean Casey at Zu direct. He is a stand up guy, always prompt and super enthusiastic with replies to enquiries.For my part I have run Def2s since 2008, and have just paid deposit to g...

Ghostinthemachine, I can't comment on your experience since I'm not connected with Zu or their distributors, but if you haven't already bought alternative speakers do contact Sean at Zu and see what he can do. I believe they have run 60 day risk f...

Hi Phil, I actually v. nearly got off this particular train when the balanced power/Black Hole combination sorted out the bass integration issues in my room with my Def2s, but I'm going to travel one last stop, and hope the view is picturesque eno...

So boys and girls, I am taking the plunge and hoping to order Def4s by end of week for a June/July delivery.I'm veering towards Cosmic Carbon, a little different from the standard black I always end up buying.This has been a tight decision for me,...

Glory, I'm disposing of a Burmester 948 conditioner, superior, to my ears at the time, to the Audience, PS Audio and Isol units that I auditioned. Sound quality was much improved wrt to standard mains re tonality and noise floor, but dynamics alwa...

I've replaced a $6000 audiophile power conditioner with a $600 standard industrial balanced power transformer. Night and day difference.Currently settling on Cosmic Carbon as choice of finish for Def4's. Hope to make a decision to buy in the next ...

Germanboxers, hang on, I'm still working 24 hrs a day and 7 days a week to get it together! Seriously, I've just received paint swatches from Christian at Zu and need to make a final decision re finish. I was set on Gloss Black similar to that use... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
In response to this amp emphasis on the Zu thread, I'm currently running my Zu Def2's into a Hovland HP200 tube pre amp and Hovland Radia 125W/ch dual mono power amp (both unavailable, Hovland actually sadly having gone bust some years ago).The co... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Agear, couldn't agree more. My noise floor has really dropped using a standard industrial grade balanced power transformer, I now get that 'after midnight' sound ALL day long. I live/listen in a very dirty power area, surrounded by mobile booster ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Rockadanny, I've eliminated the conditioner completely, although one possible variation might be to plug the power amp into the balanced transformer, and the sources/pre into the conditioner.From what I gather, most people run one or the other.Mai...

Power and room acoustics are really really important.After years of listening direct from the mains in an area with a highly corrupted electrical supply I installed a c.$6000 power conditioner which opened up the soundstage and lowered the noise f...

Looking at True Matte Black, Cosmic Carbon, and Charcoal as alternatives to Gloss Black. For my decor (and mental state of my girlfriend), variations like Ferrari Red Gloss are out. My Def2s are Nextel Grey which has been functional but a little d... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Gsm18439, I tend to agree with you, want something a little more dramatic than my existing Nextel grey. Is this Gloss Black finish easy to maintain ie re fingerprints/smudges, static attraction of dust etc? I get the impression it's an automotive ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Ok, now I'm convinced the Def4s are the way to go , a matter more serious than sound quality, which finish to choose - one must be happy, but ensure one's girlfriend is even happier!Seriously, Sean and now Gerrit and Christian are on the case and ...
