Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet?

I’m also very keen to try the new Linear Tube Audio Ultralinear if I can...I have their really low powered MZ2 and even at its really low power it sounds fantastic as an integrated with my Soul Supremes.

The big thread is “Zu Druid & Definition Roundup”

Thank you for pointing out the thread. I will read through it.

Gerrit is awesome. I am very impressed with the customer support they have given me considering I purchased my speakers second hand, and they never try to upsell you (I had at one point considered upgrading the capacitor in them)

Cant wait to hear your impressions and review parsons; especially considering you have soul supremes. 

Regarding amps, I have tried a few with good results: Luxman mb3045 monoblocks (kt88 push-pull about 40w) Luxman Mb88u monoblocks (kt88 60w more like a McIntosh Design) and Luxman kmq7 (sort of an old dynaco design) All sounded good. 

I asked Gerrit his recommendations when I was exploring 300b stuff, he wrote:

”The 300B should work no problem on the Druid.  The ones we’ve found work well are the Melody 300B mono blocks with the Western Electric tubes and also the Audion Silver Night Anniversary/Special edition.”

i will say these speakers, in general, are very sensitive to everything upstream. DAC, pre, amps, etc are all noticeable. It’s taught me a fair amount about tuning a system.
