Zu Druid Almarro 318B Sonos Arc Set for Music

Nice looking system. Two pieces of gear that I have always wanted to hear was the Almarro 318b amp and the Zu speakers. Wish that opportunity presented itself while I was system shopping. Enjoy!

There has been a lot of talk about the various stands folks put under their AN-e speakers. Many feel that Sistrum sound really wonderful. I would guess that if one wants their An-Es to sound the wa...

Hi Evank,Do you live in Brooklyn? Your Zu speakers look cool. Before buying my Audio Note I wanted to hear Zu, but never found the opportunity. Bet they sound nice.

On ebay or here sometimes you can find An-Es below 3k. I am in Park Slope if you ever want to drop by for a listen.

Salectric, It was fun to take the amp slowly from all oils and A-B's in the circuit to where it is now. A good education. I documented it so I would remember what I did and how each part changed th...

Nice system! Also nice that you choke loaded your PS for the DIY 46's. I hear that choke loaded PS in tube amps give a better bass response.

Pulled C-5 from the amp and didnt replace. In this case less is more. Added clarity and detail but decreased gain.
