Description

My eternal chase for point source sound has taken me from Innersound to Vienna to B&W to Tyler to Sanders to Tannoy to Golden Ear to Zu to Tannoy to KEF (Ref 1) back to Zu to Sonist to PMC to Fyne back to KEF Blade 2. Just sold the Blade to recoup the cost. SVS Ultra Tower back in main room & yup I don't miss the Blade. New Zu DW6 are singing loud & proud in the main room whilst breaking in. Sound so good may stay there. Just added SVS-SB1000 Pro sub also.

Dug the new Carver Black Magic 25 so much I bought another to mono. Then discovered vertical biamping which is a game changer. Did the same thing with the Mini GaN 5. Astounding. Anyone else vertical 2 stereo amps? 

The NAD & SVS is in other room for cinema.

    The best bang for the buck in speakers you will ever find. Astounding. On par with Zu re price to value.

    Superfly edition in 'cosmic carbon'
    • Bob Carver Black Magic 25
    Sound so moist I bought another to vertical bi-amp (then sold 1 to downsize).
    • SVS SB-1000 PRO
    Handles what the Zu don't, real moist.
    • Class D Audio Mini GaN 5
    5 lbs of pure miracle. Bought 1 then another a couple weeks later to vertical biamp in the summer.

    Staring at it gives me a chubb.
    • NAD 588
    Their tasty TT; mostly built by pro-ject, simple & works great.
    • Sony HAP-Z1ES
    Old faithful. My longest tenured component by far. Replaced stock hdd w/ssd.

    A phono pre from the future. Astoundingly fascinating. Shames all others regardless of price.

    Nice rack. Earmuffs.

    Actually have 2: one for main rig, one for TV room.
