| Anyone heard new Zu Union 6? Mine are the standard version with Mission wire and ClarityCaps. I have them tight in the corners, maybe about 4 inches off the wall. Your walnut Unions look great, I wish I had gone that route. | |
| Anyone heard new Zu Union 6? Hey Kray, I am also giving Union 6 a try right now to see if I want to trade up from my Dirty Weekends. They just arrived yesterday. Have you tried corner loading these? Because right now that seems to be where they are performing best in my ro... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 Good thread, enjoy the viewpoints, both positive and negative. I believe Steve Guttenberg put it best when he said the First Watt amps don't always hit, even when you have a good match on paper, but when they do, they hit really hard. I've owned... | |
| Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? I have no issue with Steve or any of the YT reviewers. They are just passionate audio fans like us. Why is it ok for a forum member to be blown away by some gear and then swap it out for something else later, but not Steve Huff? I do get annoye... | |
| First Watt F8, passive preamp, DAC As another data point, I ran my Pass Labs DAC (about 1.8V max output unbalanced) into my SIT-2 (18db gain) into 94db efficent speakers with no gain issues whatsoever. As I type I am running the same DAC with the volume at about 1:00 (so roughly... | |
| First Watt F8, passive preamp, DAC The J2 would be a better option because it has balanced inputs, and if you run balanced interconnects from your DS DAC you will double the output voltage to 2.8V. | |
| First Watt F8, passive preamp, DAC I think you should be ok with digital, do you know the output of your DAC? I have run a DAC directly into a SIT-2 which is 18db of gain and it worked great. Running the same DAC into a SIT-3 with only 11.5 of gain was also fine, although I did r... | |
| Axpona 2022 My favorite room is the Nenuphar,room with silversmith Cables.I think they are using Pass labs or ayre gear sorry I can’t remember You got to hear Nelson's Beast With 1000 JFETS! Congrats, I'm jealous. | |
| JBL L100 Classic 75's - Thoughts, Impressions, Serial Numbers Congrats, the 75's really look stunning. I only heard the L100 at the dealer. They can rock effortlessly. They scared me off because to me they seemed very bass heavy, and this was in a large listening room at the dealer with quite a bit of spa... | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever You won the forum today. | |
| Who loves Cotton ?? I used some really skinny gauge Jupiter copper hookup wire in cotton as a speaker cable on some of the Zu 16 ohm models (skinny wire had been recommended by my tube amp designer and by Sean at Zu). It worked quite well, the wire sounded just as g... | |
| Quick speaker review: Ojas DIY kit Wow, those look awesome. Congrats. I'd love to hear them after seeing the cool video profiles that people have recently done on Devon. | |
| Guess How Big My Speakers Are Looks like room bass node at 30hz. Given the flat response above 10khz, I'd say 3 way floorstanding speaker with 8 inch woofer. | |
| How good is Pass INT25? I believe the INT25 is basically the XA25 with a 6db gain buffer in front of it for a preamp section, so you can also use XA25 reviews as your guide. I use Nelson's First Watt SIT amps with my Coherent speakers (which are also high efficiency lik... | |
| Sansui 2000X Zu Dirty Weekends pair great with a vintage Sansui! Playing an AU-666 with a pair of Zu as I type. |
