6 years loving my Zu Definition 1.5s, but it did not take much, after listening to other Zu owner experiences with their new Definition IVs. Only took me two weeks to order them, and two months for them to be sitting in my living room. The jump from 1.5 to IV is overwhelming. Two different speakers. This may just be the speaker to take me out...having fun re--listening to my tunes. Having fun
System edited: Stock pre amp and amp tubes were fair at best. Huge differences now with these new NOS babies. Too early to say how profound, but it's going to be fun finding out.
System edited: May have found nirvana. The Bel Cantos amp and pre are real sweet...the Zu Definitions are much more than I realized. 845 tubes are made for these speakers.
Don't know exactly, I'm new to tubedom. The input tubes last a lot longer than the output. If you don't get the answer on this thread, start your own. You'll get your answer. SET is remarkable with the Definitions.
This is my first foray with tubes, and my tube mentor has gotten me off to a great start. I'm sure the Definitions would sound grand with your Art Audio. I use KR KT88s. Don't get much better than that in the way of KT88s. As to the Exemplar and the Prima? What do you think? I loved the Prima, but didn't realize, until I purchased the Exemplar, how far I was behind the digital eight ball. The differences were heard seconds into my first cd. Have less than a dozen sacds and only one DVD-A...the Exemplar delivers the goods with them, as well.
Aaron, I use 1.5s--the narrow ones. I forget the thread count, but Robert (of Starsound) would know it. Huge difference with the points. I called the Zuboys to let them know what nice differneces the Audiopoints made with the Definitions. They said that they would check them out, realizing that their spikes were really not that great. That was their words. Never had so much with a stereo rig since my Maggie days 30 years ago. These are just as exciting, but in different ways, of course. Buy they are "planar" fast, indeed. thanks for the nice words. peace, warren
