Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ?
I've been digging through this to the point of multiple circular thinking all leading to nowhere. My comprehension, while not fully through, does lead me to question many of the tenants expressed here, if only due to being invested in a TT/plinth?...

In Atlanta here. If you like I would be glad to have you over to listen to some Zu Def 4s if you happen to be in town for business.  
Help search for a phono stage that fits my system
My BAT Vk P10SE does have some tube noise as I use a LOMC but when the needle hits the record the music comes alive. Used 3.5K-4K. Has gain to spare. Solid bass.

There is a 202 on Ebay if you are interested.

Have a pair of FR MC 202 carts. Just for fun I have tried about 4-5 other carts only to promptly return to the FR. Smooth music when the music is smooth but it rocks out without a hitch. Bought the backup as soon as I saw it. The first one was bou...

To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition?
Worldwide, can the Core products, maybe the 300, handle Mcintosh 60 watt tube amps? No current limiting?

Buying Without Audition
Volsfan, I too spent a lot of time looking at Salk/Murphy speakers. The SS12's were out and looked promising but ran into production problems. Jim was very open and honest as far as the different lines' attributes. Ultimately, what did you decide ...

Anyone on this thread heard the Zanden 9500 with the Def 4s? Like the 845s but can't audition. 
Pls share your experience with Zu Soul or Zu in general
I have both Def 4s and Omen 1Bs. Both were a little intense out of the boxes. All tube system. They could be said to be a little tizz-boom initially. Here is my take.They're clear, no smoothing of the edges speakers. Crossoverless, phase coherent ... 
Tube Phono Stage or Tube Integrated- help!
I know of two for sure. Balanced Audio Technology VK P10 Se has around 80db gain and the Allnic H-3000 around 75db. If you look for a while you might find the BAT for 3K or a little less. Saw the Allnic on here around 6 months ago for around 4K. N...
