Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II
Hi Ernie, The Def IV's are stunning! I've only heard a small percentage of their potential as I'm literally rebuilding my entire system from the ground up including a new listening room in a new home. As soon as I have them good to go I would love... 
KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845
If the AN845 Integrated is as good or better than the Melody PB 101/M845 combo that I heard then it will be a real winner. The combination was absolutely stunning and competed with much more expensive offerings. 
Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II
Hi Ernie, The best 300's (Best value for sure) that I used in my Franks were the original Shuguang Black Treasures and I found them to be warm and very engaging. They were fantastic and for the price a very good tube. To better it, I needed the EM... 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Thanks for the support Guys! It helps to feed the addiction:-).In general, I have learned the following in the last few weeks after 1. Visiting Phil's amazing set-up in LA and experiencing his amazing hospitality not once, but twice! 2. Arriving h... 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Warren, having just become the proud papa of a used pair of Def IV's, I can easily say that you will be very well rewarded for your patience:). 
Found Speaker After 6 Yrs,Bought & Lost In Minutes
Agreed. Buy it now should be exactly like EBay. Or even better is if the person had to make the payment at the exact time that they hit buy it now like a check out at any other store. Or at least a non refundable deposit. 
Good amp for Tekton lore s speakers?
The mini torii had low bass output on both Zu and Tektons. I sold the Lores regrettably and upgraded to the Pendragons. The Pendragons were great but the bass overloaded my poorly treated room. I now have Zu Def III's and the bass is much better c... 
Good amp for Tekton lore s speakers?
I loved a Decware Mini Torii with a pair of Lores, bit it's biggest weakness I felt was in the bass department. An EL-34 or KT-88 based amp should give you the watts you need and much better bass. You would get vast improvement with a modest DAC a... 
Found Speaker After 6 Yrs,Bought & Lost In Minutes
The system is flawed no doubt. There's one simple solution. Sell your old speakers and get some with a matching center option! Or have a center made using the same drivers or buy a pair of the Same speakers you have and use one as the center and s... 
Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II
The biggest difference between the Frankenstein mkI and mkII was the noisiness and the EMF's that it generated. In a recent email to a Dragon mkI owner he stated that the Dragon MkI had similar issues. Other than that, I have no idea. 
Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker
I agree Jackson, I loved the 'Dragons with jazz. They are really special with this particular genre for what reason I know not! 
Metrum Octave and 192khz?
Mine initially was warbled, then I did something (scratching my head very slowly) and I'll be damned if I can remember what I did but it worked! 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I think that the cap upgrades are a recent addition to the Zu lineup based on my conversation with Sean a few weeks ago. And just to throw out the details of the rest of my conversation with Sean, he said that the Audyn True Copper caps were very ... 
845 Tube Amps
Early are you using them with Zu Druids? 
Metrum Octave and 192khz?
My Octave works well with 192khz via AudiNirvana being fed through an Audiphileo 2. It had a few bugs originally then I reinstalled the Audinirvana and upgraded it to the latest version and now it works just fine.
