| Another Zu Thread Warren- Why does disagreeing with you always bring a personal attack - and why do you always have to have the last word? | |
| Another Zu Thread Bartokfan- I'm sorry you decided to break your silence but I'm very happy that you are now saying nothing in so few words. | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I use the SpeakerSpender Dart Board to determine how much to spend on speakers. So far it has never been wrong. | |
| Another Zu Thread As I stated in my earlier post, rumors abound concerning Zu speakers. The Definition is a no holds barred statement product around which no corners have been cut. It will perform quite well in your larger room and I wish I had a space that large f... | |
| Another Zu Thread There is nothing problematic about Druids or Definitions but there are certain considerations which apply to optimal implementation.The Definition is designed with a recommended 10 foot mimnimum between the forward plane of the speakers and your l... | |
| Teres Certus Every bit as good as my SP-10 MK II and, if you're into wood (who isn't?), it's much better looking. | |
| Empire 698 + AT440mla = vinyl bliss for $500 I believe Ralph Karsten has been using an Empire for more than 20 years. Along with the elite Japanese Direct Drives, the Empire represents a real steal. How did we ever let ourselves be led away from this stuff? Did the magazines do it? Is there ... | |

I've been with the same woman for 17 years and can't imagine a desire to upgrade. I've been through more than a hundred audio components in that same time. You can't ... | |
| Integrated Amp for VR4jr I would try Plinius. | |
| Watt Puppy 6 If you are getting an exceptional price, just buy them. They will never be hard to resell and you will have the advantage later of an additonal point of comparison when shopping in the future. | |
| Unable to audition used speakers a problem I like Unclejeff's comments about qualification. Why not apply the same considerations we use to filter on line prospects to the evaluation of local suitors? Feedback should certainly come into play as well as knowledge and comportment. You can st... | |
| Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones? I'm not sure about the aims of the designers vis a vis front wall proximity, but the Zus do work well that way. I started with Druids and moved up to Definitions and both worked very well against the wall. My Defs right now are toed in slightly wi... | |
| What music is your system setup for? Beavis and Butthead. | |
| If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? My dealer dogsits when I travel and we exchange recipes for crepes in the offseason. That's why I never hesitate to pay list plus whatever he wants. |
