The best speaker you ever heard?
I wonder if the best speaker you've ever heard is about pushing the envelope or being comfortable where you are? Its a very subjective question. All the absolute best speakers I've ever heard are beyond my financial resources. If you are satisfied... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I live near a bose outlet store and I have heard the new bose speakers and They sounded like my fathers stereo back in the 70's. They were presented to me as the much revered Bose 901's and I was polite and listened but they sounded decidedly midf... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
The best speakers I have heard are the big Analysis Amphitreons. They are an easy to drive planar speaker with a long ribbon tweeter. I have a smaller pair of analysis speakers called the epsilon that do most of what the larger ones do, but not al...

antique sound 1009
I just sold My Rogue Zeus that I loved, to buy the ASL 1009. I have them in my system now, auditioning them before I buy them. I will be writing a check tomorrow. They have one full music 845 and one valve art in each amp with mullard el34's and r... 
Preamp recommendations for a Butler TBD2250?
That might be. I picked up the butler and it had no problem being driven by the modwright. It is a very unique sounding amp. Many characteristics of both tube and solid state. Very powerful. In a modest package. 
Preamp recommendations for a Butler TBD2250?
To correct a mis-stated spec, the sensitivity on the Butler is not 3 volts @ 250 watts and it is not 2 volts @ 150 watts, it is 2 volts @ 250 watts. This has been taken directly from the web page of the TBD-2250 and called and confirmed with the d... 
Tubes with Tylers
Hey JeffJust some feedback on the rogue amps. As you know, I use the Rogue Zeus with my new ref 3's and they are phenomenal. The more the speakers break-in the better they sound. The rogue m-150's use the same circuitry as the zeus. Also another r... 
ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ??
Sir Speedy,I don't thimk I have heard a funnier, wiser , or truer tirade here before. What one might call sonic nirvana may be someone's nightmare. I think at some level there must be an agreement that a system has a good sound, but whether anothe... 
ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ??
I happen to have this subject particularly dear and close to my heart as I have both the colibri xgw and a universe silver sb. I bought the colibri before the universe and instantly was blown away by the colibri. The sheer power of dynamics is ama... 
Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge
I used the cardas sweep on my Zyx universe and it made a very noticeable improvement. I did 30 minutes on each of the 3 tracks. 
Zyx R1000 Airy3 vs Universe
Hey guys Sorry to break in here, but I have been following all the forums about the new cartridges. I have read much of the dialogue about the zyx and the other top perfomers discussed and I got in touch with mehran and talked to hiim about the un... 
Calling all ZYX aficionados
Hello audiogoners,This whole discussion has been making me go crazy. This is because I have been without my Van Den Hul colibri for over a year due to 2 mishaps in quick succession. Both due to the fact that kids and toys are unpredictable. I have... 
Review: Rogue Audio Zeus Tube amp
A buddy of mine has a rogue audio Zeus and has used it for about 18 months on the same KT88's. So far it sounds just as good as it ever has. I have 6550's in mine and have just picked up some kt88's to give a try. I have heard that the KT88's are ...
