| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Seems like Wilson is answering a question that was not asked. That's usually a sign of guilt. | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 The Zu Definition speakers compete favorably with the best available. Whether or not, you choose to own them, you must acknowledge that for $9000/pair this is an achievement. And until you have heard these speakers, you are in no position to refut... | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 This thread is supposed to be about Wilson. Hifimaniac is providing advice from experience with Wilson and an alternative that he has discovered. On one hand you could look at him as invasive and on the other, you could consider what he says, ques... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Dan, I don't want to steer this thread toward Zu so I'll email you privately about that.That comparison is intriguing to consider given that in the day of the SP-10 there really wasn't an arm or cartridge like Chris used and isolation and cabling ... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? My son, who was with me at the Teres show, said the 380 had more pluck. I guess that more or less sums what Dan_Ed was saying about the difference.Dan, where you wrote IMHO above, Does that mean "in my humiliated opinion"?I find myself wondering w... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? I also remember him using a clear belt. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? 4yanx,I can't place either the 320 or 380 in the hierarchy of world class turntables. I imagine they belong there but I don't know the competition at all. Relative to each other, the difference is obvious and convincing. The 380 was easily the bes... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? I was there too. Although I left before Dan arrived, I was able to spend a couple of hours with Chris and his son Ryan comparing the 380 direct drive with his 320 and the new more affordable 280. All three tables were quite distinct in sound. I wa... | |
| Are there any budget tubed preamps that stand out I will also vote for the Eastern Electric MiniMax Preamp. It is small and elegant. Only three tubes surface mounted. Three inputs. Two outputs. Sits on three feet and sounds like a lot more size and price than what you see on your shelf. Easily a ... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? O.K. Everyone seems to agree that we don't like vibrations and everyone seems to believe that speed stability is of great importance. The only diagreement I've heard has to do with which is more important. Doesn't it seem that bringing them both t... | |
| Which cheese? Earlier chap asked what speaker I go with since I am a jack. B&W goes with cheshire, of course, all the way to the bank. | |
| Which cheese? Zu goes with me and Sonus Faber is perfect with a dollop of mascarpone. You must try gouda with the Karma Ceramique and few have ever complained about American prepackaged slices with their Polks. Von Schweickert skips the cheese altogether and ma... | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 Jsc80:Did you choose the Definitions by yourself or did you have a listening panel? What magazines do you subscribe to? Have you ever been to Utah before? Do you use tube amplification? Did you just like the Definitions enough to buy them because ... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? P.A. may be waiting for me to apologize for calling him psychotic although, if he really is psychic he surely knows I meant no harm. I've assumed from first hearing of it that Teres is looking to raise the bar not the bar graph. If Chris was looki... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Drubin,You've hit upon a great idea. Talk about a crowd attraction. Denver is pretty central in terms of U.S. geography and RMAF in October would be a terrific site since it is likely that the principal competitors might all be there anyway. The o... |
