| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Trenner & Friedl Arts.Small box, big sound. Get a used pair as the new model is $6000. | |
| Moderately priced audio In my bedroom system I use a $140 Chinese tube amp fed by a Sony blu-ray player from Target with my Zu DefHead speakers. Sounds just as good as my living room system. I tried much more expensive amps/DACs in that room and realized it didn't real... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? I tend to agree with atmashpere on this without even paying attention to the engineering jargon. I've heard enough different variations of carts/tonearms/phono stages to hear the difference in how some combos play quieter than others. My RCM als... | |
| Black Cat Cable's/Coppertone wires are amazing good! I have pretty much a complete Black Cat Cable loom in both of my systems and yes they are very good. I too play in the shallow end with the copper cables such as The Tube and the 3200 series. I do find it funny that Teajay gives Coppertone a rav... | |
| I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire 40 feet for each speaker? That’s a lot.For that length, take a long look at Duelund DCA16GA hookup wire. It’s 10 bucks a meter and you would need 160 ft total. That would be about $500. If you only need 4 x 10 runs then it would be about $130. If ... | |
| Reputable source for Nagaoka MP110? I got mine from amazon prime | |
| Zu Druid 6 Spirit, note that Nelson says the SIT-3 amp prefers a lower impedance speaker, so you may want to get load resistors from Zu if you go that route (see Herb's SIT-3 review). Sean told me he uses the resistors when demoing with Pass amps at shows.F... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Thanks for posting a link to the article. Ian makes some interesting points, but he also misses a few points.First, recording software like Garage Band created a glut of dubious releases? He presents nothing to back this up.Second, he treats WWI... | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? I'm guessing vinyl will be out of fashion by then and rare original pressings can be had for a dollar. | |
| Zu audio I am interested in these speakers but a little skeptical of their claims on website Then why not buy a pair and take advantage of their 60 day trial period to reconcile your interest with your skepticism?The nano stuff is just the cone doping they... | |
| Coherent speakers from Canada +1 I bought mine from Noam also! | |
| Coherent speakers from Canada To update, I've had my Model 10's for about 3 weeks now and I'm thrilled with them. Amazing clarity and detail, with a full, robust tone. It's like an open window into recordings now, although as Frank mentions above I can play all types of musi... | |
| Modding the Zu Omen MKII What did you use for internal wire and how did you get the binding posts out to rewire them? | |
| Modding the Zu Omen MKII Congrats on your mods. Which x-over caps did you use? By double x-over caps do you mean using a bypass cap?I'm not a modder but from what I've read Sean will offer lots of ideas to improve Omen performance. I kind of like the sound of mine as i... |
