| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Pretty easy to re-terminate. You don't even need to solder, you can even get self terminating connectors, set screw connectors, etc.In my experience, bananas work very poorly with all Zu speakers. The mechanical quality of contact is just barely a... | |
| Stereo and Fish tanks - noisy need help Don't forget to use an appropriate audiophile grade power cord. The pump will have a vanishingly low noise floor. Inner detail and micro and macro dynamics will be out of this world. | |
| shindo aurieges .... > I do not understand how or why a number of audiophiles> prioritize extreme detail and clarity over musicality and tone.Some prioritize tone and musicality over detail and clarity. Some do it the other way around. But worse, some want both ... | |
| shindo aurieges .... Speaking only in generalities, many solid state amplifiers do not have a high input impedance. Once again, speaking in generalities, the Shindo Aurieges with an output impedance of 5000 ohms will need careful system matching.As a rule of thumb, th... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? As usual, Ralph is a class act. If the OP desires to keep the speakers, he happily recommends another vendor's amplifier. If the amplifier is to be kept instead, he recommends an appropriate speaker.All the while cheerful, professional and open wi... | |
| The best integrated amplifier I continue to be very satisfied with my LFD Zero LE MkIV. | |
| 6sn7 and 12sn7 octal preamp for under $5k I like the TRL Dude and the Modwright LS-100 in the less than $5K category. For under $1K, I prefer the Transcendent Grounded Grid to the MapleTree. | |
| shindo aurieges .... I've been a bit unfair to the Shindo Aurieges. It is certainly one of the better preamplifiers on the market. It particularly excels at mid-range tonal beauty. But what it doesn't do so without giving up something, and that something is transparen... | |
| shindo aurieges .... I like the Shindo Aurieges, but I think there are better values out there. The Modwright LS-100, and the TRL Dude would, in my opinion, be better bang for buck. | |
| Amarra 2.3.2 vs Puremusic 1.82 playback software Check out Audirvana Plus. Stability of PureMusic and the sound quality of Amarra. | |
| Pass First Watt J2 vs F3 I heard a Pass XA30.5 driving a pair of JBL Everest speakers a couple of years ago. It was stunning. Too bad the Everest is around $50-60K. | |
| amplification for devore fidelity nines ? The Shindo Monbrison may be the cat's meow, but the Aurieges while tonally beatiful is somewhat veiled and murky. Better values out there if you can't shell our for upper crust Shindo. | |
| Pass First Watt J2 vs F3 I have not heard the F3, but the J2 has the finest rendering of inner detail, micro dynamic finesse of any amplifier I've ever heard.The Atma-sphere S-30 has a smoother top end and is faster. They're comparable quality amplifiers and neither will ... | |
| Zen Torii Mk 3 vs LFD Zero LE Mk 4 Signature Yes, really do need to visit some time ... | |
| New LFD Zero LE mkIV I think it's rated at 60 wpc into 8 ohms. Input impedance is 20K ohms, which is not particularly flexible. But if you have sources less than 600 ohms output Z, then I think you're likely okay with a bit of room to spare.Having said that, note that... |
