STANDBY on tube amps - what's your practice
Standby PRE--on 24/7AMP has none. Wouldn't want to demo my rig to a golden ear until my amp had 30 minutes to toast up 
Best SS amp for Zu Druid Mk IV speakers
Hi (Bill) Audiofeil. I know you are a Zu dealer and wonder why you haven't answered my questions regarding the Zu products, particulary since I emailed you on the aside. Anyway how 'bout this one? Will Zu mod my Defs to Atmasphere's recommendation...

Atmashphere, what about the dB level? Figure my Definitions are putting out 116db, now. Will I get a higher spl? Thanks again. 
Denon3910 Exemplar 2008 same as 2006?
good point, tvad. I'll give John a call after the CES. BTW, John is great (at least with me) returning voice mails. E-mails? forgeddabout it... 
Denon3910 Exemplar 2008 same as 2006?
One of the main reasons I purchased the Exemplar. Customer relations? BFD for this audiophool.

Saffy it's the nature of the 'gon beast. I am sorry though, but I couldn't resist. I'll try to STFU. That wasn't, however, one of my New Year's resolutions...lol.. Atmashpere, are you saying that my Bel Canto SET 40 (35wpc) will give me more dB th...

Luxman is the way to go with Zu? What model Luxman are you using to drive your Zu Druids? Definitions? Presence? Please furnish some of the specs. thanks 
Class A Power Amp Degredation
Elevick, I'm with you. SET is addictive. But there are those times. I think 35 wpc driving my 101dBs translates to 116dB. Just shy of ear bleed level. Good enough, but there is music that 116dB is just the begining. Not worth the switch however, b... 
Class A Power Amp Degredation
I am currently driving my Definitions with 35 glorious Bel Canto SET wpc with NOS tubes, and am very happy, indeed. Every now and then, though, I would love to know [even though my 35 SET wpc get me some serious dbs] what 122db sounds like with so... 
Class A Power Amp Degredation
regarding Pass Labs amps: given that I have 101dB speakers, am I correct in my thinking that their very pricey (but extraordinary from what I've read) Xa series would sound the same as their other models in the class A mode? At 101db, I can go to ... 
Best SS amp for Zu Druid Mk IV speakers
lol...it's not Barry White's voice I wish to hear at 122dB. That would be scary. I'm thinking of a BW album I own, that has bass as low as I've ever heard on a recording. Electronic, of course.

Best SS amp for Zu Druid Mk IV speakers
Judging by your answers, I can see that my question was not specific. What I am or was (doesn't seem like I'm going to be able to leave SET) considering, is 100 of the sweetest SS wpc that would bring out the best in the Definition 1.5s and [if po... 
Best SS amp for Zu Druid Mk IV speakers
AudioFeil, I realize you sell the Zu line. I was wondering what you consider the best SS (price no object) watts to drive the Defintions? thanks in advance. Sorry, Saffy, for getting a bit off topic, but while I have Bill, I'd love to get my this ... 
Has any had experiecne with the MF 550k superchar?
I thought the Aleph was SS? I'm (STILL) looking for a tuber who owns a 550. If the basics "don' change either way," isn't that what a SET guy would be looking for? Don't want to change the SET sound.
