| Surround Receiver For Zu Druid ? Did you have any luck? I wanted to try an HK3490. | |
| Tonian TL-D1 verse Zu Druid Mk4 I am surprised to hear anyone say Druids sound glarey and overetched. Their HF is recessed, if anything. Or another way to put it, their HF is natural and not "hi fi" sparkley.They have much greater tone than other speakers -- maybe this is what y... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition Woo hoo!Really want to hear what you make of them -- good, bad, & ugly | |
| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? I have not compared Jim's book to others, but I was really impressed by how much of a difference I was able to get following his recommendations.I also know where new speakers cannot fix the problems I hear in my sound. My room imposes limits that... | |
| Class T amps and Zu Druid Credenza's I've run my Druid Mk4/08 with 30W class-t and 100 WPC class-d ICE, and aside from level and some bass control (as you would expect) there is little to distinguish them. That sonic-t amp really is very good, and when you get right down to it, class... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition Naggots:It makes sense that more feedback would help with the bass. Sure, it can cause other issues elsewhere too.I'm a little surprised that it works well with as few watts as you have. 30W was too little for me, not so much from level (although ... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition James: That sucks. You are a patient man.Naggots: How do they sound when you increase the feedback? I get this big tonal suckout at low frequencies, and I think it's because there's a big impedance spike (or something) that more feedback in the am... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition Wilsynet: I appreciate your advice.And yes, my system is separates, but only just. I was in the market for a 2 channel system before the Rotels fell into my lap as loaners.I'm a little appalled at how bad some of the design decisions at Arcom have... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition Wilsynet: I am surprised! Maybe I was naive thinking that a $50 2-channel amp would be noticeably inferior to a $2000 amp.I think if I asked the group: which will sound better:1) Sonic Impact + headphone DAC = $1502) Rotel DSP + Rotel amp = $3000T... | |
| Is using a X.1 AV receiver just for stereo bad? Loomisjohnson: Thank you for your info. Based on my hearing comparison of a $50 class-d implementation (almost certainly made in China) with a $2000 class-d implementation (ICE) I see NO advantage to the more expensive one, except for W, which I d... | |
| Is using a X.1 AV receiver just for stereo bad? Loomisjohnson: Do you know what kind of amps B&K and Arcam use? I'm guessing SS A/B in the amp stage, and who knows what in the pre-amp stage. | |
| Is using a X.1 AV receiver just for stereo bad? Loomisjohnson: I am inclined to believe that integrated amps are likely to do better at each pricepoint than separates. If you can match pre-amp to amp, then there must be some sonic or $ improvements, if not both.Still, if you take processing out... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition Hi Wilsynet:I borrowed a friends very expensive Rotel DSP + 7 channel 100W class-d amp. It's an ICE implementation, probably as good as any, and quite similar to Virtue.I was surprised at how close the Rotel implementation was to my little sonic-i... | |
| Is using a X.1 AV receiver just for stereo bad? Just tried hi-end Rotel pre-amp (DSP) and amp.The pre-amp is a DSP with no tuner. The amp is a 7x100W class-d implementation.What works: high level SPL is not a problem. Sound is as good as sonic-impact 15 WPC, but honestly, not that much better. ... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition With Virtue I need to wait for the DAC though. And waiting is so hard. I've had my eye on them for a while though, I don't think they've had any product for about 6 months. And their entry level is now $370. Not cheap.I have no idea how their ICE ... |
