I too am a little confused by the apparent 'tiff' between Phil and Zanon, but both have offered solid, legitimate insight and recounts of personal experience so both are valuable to me.For those wanting more feedback, I've largely achieved what I ... 
Best Interconnects
I've been beta testing for a new cable company called "Wywire" and they are absolutely rocking my world. Far, far better than anything I've experienced. They are making a big splash over at audio circle and have a 60 day guarantee. I'd suggest loo...

Phil,Insensitive as in "not as critical" or insensitive as in irrelevant? I'd like to lock the spikes in place with the nuts but would have to raise the height for that.Also I feel like presentation has been different higher vs. lower, though in f... 
Why I like my home system better than live music
Not to mention you can sit around in your boxers on a far more comfortable couch, sipping a single malt into the wee hours at home.

I've continued to tweak and have re-achieved something special. I'm operating at just about a CD case over denser (as opposed to plush) carpeting. The hardness is gone from the mids and things are a hair more coherent in this range. The big change...

Phil or anyone else who might know: What is the appropriate height for the Superflys? I first tried the lowest setting that allowed me to lock the spikes in place with nuts, but it was too high and sounded a little funny.I'm now using it at about ...

Mike, I'm not sure what actual level I listen at, but these speakers have been enjoyable at night when I keep things a bit softer. Take that with a grain of salt as I'm told I listen to music irrationally loud--I don't feel thats the case at all b...

Thanks for the pointers, Phil. Can't wait to try the spikes. I realize this is NOT optimal but have been enjoying the hell out of it/listening to a ton of music just the same.I'm also glad I put some more effort into placement, particularly making...

Nag, Im not sure what the upgrade will cost you, but have you considered selling your druids to fund souls? It may prove to be A larger, more cost effective upgrade.Zanon, how big a difference was wood vs carpet? I have spikes coming from Zu, hope... 
Which cost more: your system or your car?
Retail for retail, my car by a healthy margin. 2003 BMW 540i. But used for used, my stereo might edge it out.

Its funny, even as we regurgitate the importance of proper setup and room interaction, I don't believe many of us actually put the work in.I've spent the last few hours making small adjustments to my speaker placement (and doing the best I can wit...

Phil,Just to clarrify, this is not built by Tim Rawson and it was probably unfair for me to call it "Rawson-esq" as Tim act(ed) with Nelson Pass' blessing using his actual schematics. The gentleman building the Wineclone appears to be bootlegging ...

Amplifier question:I was recently reading reviews on the Red Wine Audio 30.2 and it sounds as if it might be an absolutely perfect match for the Zu Soul Superflys. But at its price it was only a fantasy at the moment as I'm pretty effin' tapped ou...

I can't say how the TT-25s would sound with the Zus, but I liked them with my former Abbys. I do remember reading a recent thread on audio asylum about them presenting a poor synergy with lowthers though.$700 seems like a fine price. I have owned ...

I just brought home one of my father's extra amplifiers to experiment. Its a class D job, a Panasonic XR-25 digital receiver. I've got it's volume maxed out and am using my tube preamp into the tape input.What I'm hearing is interesting but defini...
