Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I'm getting close to making a final decision to go up to the Def4s, hoping to have a buyer for my 2s sorted. Ironically the one aspect that has held me back from full satisfaction with the 2s ie bass integration has now been sorted out with the Sp... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
With the ( I believe permanent) world economic downturn, the new sustainable paradigm needs to be looking for excellence in engineering in real world priced packages.Not looking for untenable 'bargains' and expecting longevity eg $40 dvd players a... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Luckily, the UK is not an earthquake zone, so I don't feel the need to install an uber heavy (and uber $s) tt in my apartment. In fact I am v. taken by the newer breed of tt that are much sleeker in engineering/materials terms like the Brinkmann B... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil, Luxman PD 444 not likely to be on my shopping list, but I'd like your thoughts on the high end tt market. Different designers seem to stress preeminence of one or two engineering principles over all others. So with SME and TW Acustic we have... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil, balanced power really has opened up my system, and in my area we have internet booster stations, industrial power plants etc. which really introduce vast amounts of current/voltage variability and grunge into the local electricity supply. Tr... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil, I really value your thoughts/opinions on all these topics, I think I'm getting a handle on all the decisive factors in going to the next level. The UK Audion dealer demos the Audion SETs thru the Audion Premier valve line stage pre amp, are ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Hi Phil, once make Def4 purchase I will be auditioning the Audion Silver Knight, Black Shadow, Golden Dream at the UK Audion dealer. This will be fed by the Audion Premier (the only other valve pre likely to be heard other than my Hovland) and Sil... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
213Cobra, I've been talking to the Audion distributor in the UK, and he feels the Silver Knight should also be in contention with the Black Shadow. There is an anniversary edition that takes it up to 18w/ch, surely enough for the 103dB eff Def4s.H... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Phil, if I knew when to quit, I would have put my wallet away when I paid c$15000 for my first high end system in 1996, and not gone on to spend another c$85000 with never ending upgrades (Zu Def4s pending)! Ha ha!You're right re prev post, I just... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
213Cobra, and other users of the Def4s, can you fill me in a little on the 5 way sub bass adjustments on the back of the speakers. This obviously differs re the solitary volume control on the back of the Def2s.What I would like to know is if each ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
213Cobra, I am v.sure that the Def4s with more even room loading will mean less reliance on the Black Hole, but it has been SO beneficial to revealing the Def2s performance envelope that the move to Def 4s is less of an overall necessity, but a v.... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
I've been running thru various audio sites/forum boards discussing ongoing tweaks. What I'm finding is they can be divided into 2 camps: those that have a reasonable physical and psycho-acoustical basis, not dressed up in overbold claims, and esp.... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
213Cobra, will definitely try those attenuators. Now can I offer a little advice to you: please try the SpatialComputer Black Hole anti-standing wave device. All I'll say it has totally transformed the way my Def2s sound, by removing bass humps in... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
213Cobra, you come to the rescue of us poor, non-technical souls out here! I do love the sound of my Def2s thru the Hovland combination, and if this is continued into the Def4s I won't be in a hurry to switch amps. Handy really, since giving my ca... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
213Cobra, I really can't thank you enough for such detailed answers which are giving me (and others) a real handle on the identity of the 4s. This is really important since I am likely to buy without audition first; no risk really, since I've been...
