Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles, I'm looking forward to your take on the Elrog myself. Your input in the past helped me purchase my Franks and 300b tubes. I'm very happy with my purchases. Thank You! 
Zu Audio Druid MKIV Speaker Review
I have the Druid V's and Undertone sub. The combination is wonderful.The Druid V's are much more refined and detailed then the older MK.IV. The new Zu's manage to keep that beautiful tone and dynamics, which gives the speakers that lively and enga... 
Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue
I have the music matters 33 1/3 release. The sound is fantastic and is very quiet. My only gripe is some songs are panned left and right with no middle imaging. Otherwise excellent sonics and music.

Yes Charles, they are an improvement just not a huge difference in the Franks. At around the 80 hr. mark they will start to sound better and really let you enjoy their utterly natural presentation! Good Listening,Joe

Charles, don't expect a tremendous difference in the Franks. Maybe because it also uses an interstage transformer, I don't know.Is it a worthwhile improvement, I think so. The Solens on some recordings can sound a little sharp. The Jupiters are ve...

Bigkidz (Peter), Yes, that's how they sounded before break-in. Now the treble is very open, airy, with a beautiful organic tone and timbre. Once I get settled Peter, you and Carl should come over for a listen.My listening room is much larger now.... 
Zu OMEN - hmm
Chi dog, Zu's like to be spaced wide apart. If you have room space them about 10ft. from the tweeter center point and work from there.

Hey Shakeydeal,What amp did you here them with? I have the Druid V's, which sound wonderful once dialed in. They are a bit finicky and can sound terrible with the wrong amps and placement. At a Zu house party I once heard Def 4's sound terrible to... 
Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps
Tbg, I do have the 2 back audio points where the transformers sit. 
Zu or Tekton owner in NYC area willing to demo?
I have the Zu Druid V's. I live in Staten Island, if you want to swing by for a listen, let my know. My system page shows what I run them with.Joe 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Allvinyl, I wouldn't judge the new Druid V by Axpona 2014. They were using a peachtree audio integrated. Listen with a good SET amp. I run my Druids with 300b amps and Undertone sub and the pairing is excellent. 
Speakers for SET 8 Watt 300B system?
I run Coincident Frankenstein 300b mono blocks thru my Zu Druid V's and an Undertone sub with great results! 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Allvinyl, the Def 4's have downward powered subs on the base plates. The gap importance pertain to Zu's other models without the built in subs, like me Druid V's. I think all you need is 1.5" or more of clearance and your good. Using Stillpionts ... 
Please help with Spectron Musician Issue.
Yeah Charles, I use to run Salk HT-3, which needed a lot of power. The pairing was very nice, just missing that SET magic!Sorry for going of topic.
