What are the differences between XRCDs?
..lol .If I were still in my previous crib or moved to 8’ ceilings and walls I would still be listening to the Caravelles. Best monitor I have heard first hand. Now, 12 foot ceilings and an open floor plan require a speaker to move more air. A lo... 
What are the differences between XRCDs?
Thanks, but not a soul comapares the sound quality to an XRCD. The xrcd is a cd that get as close to analog that I have ever heard. SACD lags far behind the analog sound of the xrcd; at least in my listening experience.

Christmas '12 Audio Upgrades?
Indeed, a very nice Hannakah. Moving up to Zuaudio Definition IVs form ther Def 1.5s. This is going to be very sweet. My WAF is wonderful when our savings account is good. Of course a litte jewelry ( say $2k's worth,depending on my desire/must hav... 
Zu Defintion 1.5 vs Def IV
That is quite a space you got there. What AD issue was your crib in? I'd like to check it out. I've been AD for 20 years. Also, when you're in the sweet seat, (I don't know what your listening pleasure is, but since you're a tube guy?) how does ja... 
Is NAD C372 Integrated good match w/ Maggie1.7's?
tbromgard....lol...hey, we've all been here before, huh? 
Zu Defintion 1.5 vs Def IV
Fedex it be. Gsm your system appears to be in a crib (very live listening area) similar to mine, in that I too have very high (12’) ceilings and my speakers will be resting on the floor with an area rug inches away. I’m imagining the down firing w... 
Zu Defintion 1.5 vs Def IV
My 1.5s are red matte. Not Ferrari red, rather Mercedes "Mars" red. My 4s are natural maple. Light and beachy like our home. My (5years ago) 1.5s came on a pallet because Zus packaging was the pits. I could never send my 1.5s back in them unless t...

Moving to tubes? Now you’re talking. If you go the way of tubes (which I highly recommend) check out Zuaudio’s website. They will have a speaker in your budget that is very tube friendly. You cannot beat their money back guarantee. Nothing to lose... 
Zu Defintion 1.5 vs Def IV
Late Channakah gift: Ordered my Def4s today. Zu (love those guys) will give me lead time to send back my Ibis speaker cable to reterminate. When they arrive I plunk my Def 1.5s in the box and back to Zu for my credit. Fedex or UPS? I'm leaning Fed...

you will probably want a new cd player after purchasing the Maggies, as well. It may be the beginning of the end of your rig :) we've all been there. keep us posted.

I have owned Maggies, and to this day they are the best speakers I have ever owned. They require lots of space from rear walls to come alive, and a high current amp, indeed. All high current amps are not created equal. Bring your Nad and tunes wit... 
Does anyone own the Bel Canto SET 40?
sweet...love hearing what I am hearing. This amp was a remarkable find. I got it at a song, and could sell it right now (which ain't happening)for probably $1k more. thanks for hitting taking the time tiofelon 
Zu Defintion 1.5 vs Def IV
My experience what works now is a time and fate thing. If my Def 1.5 amp had not blown, audio life would go on 'til something else happened with my rig. My laser is going south on my Exemplar, hence, a new laser or a different more costly John Tuc... 
EXEMPLAR 3910 behind the digital eight ball?
mmm....superior is nice. I'll talk to John and get the scoop....he'll know better than anyone don't you think? Happy Holidays
