| Zu Soul Superfly Undertow,Its my understanding the non-superflys aren't even being built/sold yet. On a side note my Dynaco was delivered today (some really nice speaker cable too). I can't wait to give the Souls a listen with tubes, but I may have to hold up on t... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I gave the Virtue Audio TWO.2 4 days straight to burn in with my speakers while I was away from home and things have improved greatly. Class D amplification may be a very legitimate option for these speakers. Its a trade off of strong points betwe... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Sam7,I'm keeping my eyes open for a used s-30 at a good price. It seems like some people have really loved it with Zu speakers in the past. How much heat do they realistically put off?I'm experimenting now with a Virtue Audio TWO.2 amplifier with ... | |
| Meridian G-08 or ProAc Response TriTower Upgrade Make sure you listen to that G08 at length. I heard it when it just came out at a head-fi meet and was absolutely blown away. I lusted for it for weeks after that and finally bit when a dealer friend of mine cut me a deal on one he'd ordered for a... | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? Thats a reasonable speaker budget, but I don't think everyone is saying you can't get something enjoyable for the time being with a grand. I think they're just busting your balls about the gf. Buy used, DIY and don't fear vintage. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I've got a Virtue Audio TWO.2 with external battery pack in place and will offer some feedback on that with the Souls in the next couple days. Very interested to see how they respond to the extra power. | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? There are a lot of jokers in this thread, but seriously--getting enjoyable sound out of a thousand bucks isn't unreasonable. There are a ton of options that could probably please you as much as your old rig. Magnepan MMGs (or the wall edition for ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Fair enough, Audiofeil.I would add though that I wasn't so much trying to debate right vs. wrong as much as I wanted to effectively communicate my own (subjective) preferences to try and establish a point of reference for associated equipment reco... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I'm not sure I did make your point. I would agree with you that toe tapping is a bad way to put it but certainly you would agree that timing is not equal for all gear and despite similar measurements, our ears can detect the difference between som... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I have a loaner Virtue Audio TWO.2 that should arrive this week through a tour on Audiocircle. I suppose that will be an opportunity to hear what extra power can do as I believe that puts out 55wpc into 8ohms.What do you mean "PRaT is a joke"? I u... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Regiggey,That looks very interesting to me and sounds like it may be precisely what I am looking for. The only problem is my Firstwatt was build from Mr. Pass' DIY plans by Mr. Rawson. I am not technically skilled to perform the upgrades myself, M... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Anyone else get their Superflys yet? I'm surprised there has been next to no feedback from anyone else. I spent a good deal of time listening over the holiday weekend and the more time I put on my pair the more I appreciate them. The ONLY thing I ... | |
| Emotiva vs. some bigger boys "Wyred 4 Sound amps sound much better than Emotiva. My friend owns both, it's no comparison, the W4S is actually musical, the Emotiva is just globs of power but dull sounding."I agree with your assessment of Emotiva gear. I've heard their cd playe... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? I'm enjoying both the sound quality and convenience of my Squeezebox Touch feeding an Eastern Electric Minimax DAC (ESS Sabre32) more than the high end CD players in my past.It is sooo convenient controlling your entire digital library with a remote. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Mike,I wanted to hold up on commenting much at first for a few reasons. Firstly, the drivers were no burned in (and probably still have a couple weeks to go). Secondly, I did not have appropriate spikes and was using the floor footers on carpet wh... |
