Gopher,
Lampizator-Melody pre-845 SET-Zu. This must really sound exceptional.What did you gain moving from the Melody AN 211 amplifier?I imagine you`re done for a long while.

Nice system!
The Melody 211 driving your upgraded Zu speakers must sound quite good and involving.
Have you heard the new Metrum Hex?It`s the flagship model in the line. They have doubled the # of DACs per channel and the power supply and transformers are larger and beefier than the Octave model.The Octave is very good at its price point but the Hex is a major step forward per the designer.
