| what amps mate well with Zu Definition Zu recommends, Rogue Zeus and the Audiopax models in the way of tubes... Solid state 2 top recommendations seem to be the MCintosh 402, and the DNA-500 which both will be dead silent. | |
| Very short speaker cable length recommended? Umm okay if you say so I believe you.. But sorry I have heard a bit of a brighter sound and etched in a way with having too short of a cable running mids and highs... So I have also listened to audio research back when I purchased their equipment ... | |
| Very short speaker cable length recommended? Actually from my understanding if you go too Short then the tweeter and midrange can become more forward or even brighter in many cases(and I have experienced this), as the longer lengths keep the speed down a little bit helping for whatever reaso... | |
| Very short speaker cable length recommended? Go 6.5 ft or longer(2.0m)speaker, its the more optimal range overall in most cases it seems, unless maybe running a non-full range speaker, like a woofer section or something running under 250 hz lets say then maybe 3ft or less would be more effec... | |
| Sub location: closet? Run some bass shakers in the couch... I know its not completley optimal but will be hidden and are pretty nice when sitting, very simple too. | |

| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Boa2, I would like to interject, although I hate how distastefull things get with the REAL hi-efficiency crowd..

| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Tubes can have more power and dynamic raw sound than solid state, you would be surprised.. Tubes virtually have unlimited bandwith in many cases vs. the solid state transistor counterparts 20-20k... Some tubes can sound More Audiophile Named "Soli... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Benchmark might compete with the original Lite DAC-Ah, but not the new one with the good Opamps, it is a whole different unit A-B tested... By the way as mentioned above its hard to justify the 1000.00 price tag for the benchmark vs. the Dac-ah in... | |
| Where to buy Pioneer stable platter mechanism Ebay, used pioneer player around 50 - 150 bucks, many models can be found with it. | |
| Have you seen the VR9SE Review? Tim916, Lake contour would be excellent, it will not skew anything as long as you have a preamp that feeds it correctly and with the right tone in the first place.. I have done some near Cost no object crossovers, and then now since the last few y... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Carver is not good with these speakers/honestly not many speakers from my experience with them, even the new sunfire stuff... Go mcintosh, way more money but just like replacing the whole system in this case. Then you will hear Rock and roll like ... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Modified DAC Ah from www.Pacificvalve.usExcellent, find many reviews all stellar, it replaced my WADIA no joke very similar sound but slightly sweeter and saved me a bundle.. Any decent Transport will work well, probably keep what you have and use... | |
| Have you seen the VR9SE Review? Holenneck, I actually consider your above statements as very valid and at one time thought very similar, but I have changed my mind on Room vs. Speaker, Vs. correct in the first place vs. Tweaking vs. Etc. .. Let me say why, I have had excellent c... | |
| Avantgarde Trio replacing Dunlavy SC-V? Ah yeah, well you are looking at possibly the 2 most opposite ends of the audioworld spectrum when it comes to speakers, better audition them somehow first, you will be in for a shock at what avantgardes will do vs. your current speakers. However ... |
