Zu introduces Soul 6
Rhthmnsound, I can't comment on the Soul 6, but I'm a near-14 years customer of Definitions, over two models, current ones optimised, and lots of attention to my power and acoustics. I can genuinely say that Zu tone is a thing to behold, and it ab... 
Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You!
Last time I needed replacement SGS-5 stylii, I had the option of going to Boron, was informed there was a tad more warmth w this option. I remain unsure about the fussiness of the SDS-6 stylii, hence have stuck w the SDS-5. What's now happened is ... 
Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You!
KennyC, touched very much you feel I'm an expert resource, but I have been very happy to leave reliable feedback. Thanks for the props! MillerC, so great you're "getting" the SG magic early on. I'd say 50 hours is where it starts to come together... 
Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?
+1 for Zu, I run Defs 4 in 6000 cub ft/180 cub m space, off medium power 211 tubes, and the space is fully energized, tonally saturated, even at low levels.

I'm soon to order up to four replacement stylii, and Level Twelve mods to my Straingauge energizer. Fully signed up to l/t ownership, at least 2027 lol. 
LIVE concerts and studio sessions despite covid. Soundsmith Strain Gauge
It is! Much as I loved the Red Sparrow and Dava carts I heard, they were just too much on the lush side for me, compared to the Straingauge.The Aidas Panzerholz was probably the closest in terms of dynamics and position on the tonal spectrumLyra/C...
