| Reasonable not to be offered a trial on a cart? I could do that after demoing the cart at the dealer as well. Demo at home wouldn't add to temptation to source more cheaply.The US dealer/distrib of one of the current hot new thing carts got into a real lather when he discovered a top audiophile... | |
| Reasonable not to be offered a trial on a cart? How things go. I did get that home demo which led to a nice sale for the dealer. Subsequently I ended up buying his bespoke LPS for the cart, and his SET amps. All in all, everyone happy. | |
| Experiences on Tom Evans phono stage ? When I upgraded my Groove to Plus status, issues from day one that Tom was hugely reluctant to sort. It needed direct intervention from my dealer, and I finally got a functioning phono. I went against my better nature, and stuck w Tom on the SRX u... | |

| Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge taken to the next level Over two years on since my last report, and my LPSd Straingauge continues to totally delight. It really seems to get out of the way of the music, so good is it's tonal and timbral discrimination. It is insanely fast and yet provides really natural... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Ledoux, will do. Covid lockdown means the wait for the Kondo/Bocchinos tonearm wire will have to wait a little longer.The Straingauge cart is really quite something. I've run a few carts in my time, Roksan Shiraz, Zu Denon 103, Lyra Skala and Parn... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Gentlemen, I've been running the Andrey 2019 version Terminator for a few months.Progressed from Vic's original in 2013, via Owen's Al arm mount, Andrey's carbon fibre armwand, to the whole new arm. Will soon install my new tonearm wire comprising... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Phil, I suspected you might say that. It's taken me longer to dial my Defs 4 sub bass in, mainly because for the first four years, my Zus were in a hugely challenging room where I had to overcompensate harsh reflections on main sound by turning up... | |
| Zu Druid 6 I wonder if there's gonna be an amended Druids 6 (maybe Druids 6.1) w the concentric supertweeter as in the Dominances 2 and soon to be released Definitions 6?There's no doubt that Definitions pwrd subs are a boon, but can be a bitch to get right ... | |

| Zu Druid 6 Thanks Cottguy. I'm in quite a bit of contact w Phil, but additional informed opinions always relevant, thanks.Good news indeed, and the move to greater transparency always welcome. You're obviously aware of the change going Druids 5 to 6. Not sub... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Cottguy, you have the Druid 6, yes?Is there a clear demonstration of the superiority of the new Series 6 iteration changes, from drivers to cabinet construction?Ie can you hear in Dominance 2 the Series 6 DNA that you hear in yr new Druids?And how... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Phil, great news from you. And Sean. I'm especially pleased the hum issue is being sorted, I'm awaiting a time window from Zu to sort my Defs 6.Dominances 2 will be the big time for Zu, swimming w the sharks. No more will I be able to say top Zus ... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Sean just contacted me to say Defintions subs amps issue solved, no charge other than carriage despite me being way out of warranty. More reasons I'm glad I pinned my flag on the Zu wagon. | |
| Zu Druid 6 Sure Phil, my post is not to knock you for not liking 211s, just that my experience is that the decision to move from Black Shadows has never been regretted by me. And that's even after turbocharging the Shadows w Elrog 845s. Bendix I did try, no ... |
