    Totally Tubular: The Tube Thread

    That's some expensive AF wood if so. The only specific design elements mentioned I can find that seem new: new, extensive cabinet superstructure and the all okoume cabinetry near Druid 6 level of driver-to-cabinet coupling and integration

    Totally Tubular: The Tube Thread

    It's a tremendous combo! And it's nice to be able to support two companies who tackle the chase for audio magic from a very different perspective than most others.

    Totally Tubular: The Tube Thread

    Correct. Haven't had the urge to touch those either. (Especially now that the new Souls Zu announced today cost over twice as much)

    Totally Tubular: The Tube Thread

    Truth. I'm about 1.5 years in with mine, and I haven't even had an inkling of wanting to get something else. It's stunning. Pure magic.

    Sad. I can pinpoint the PHO-8 as being the single piece of equipment that started my audiophile itch.

    Zu Audio Soul Mk II Review

    I can echo these comments. My Souls definitely seemed to evolve as the hours ticked away from when I first got them. They were good out of the box, but really opened up after a couple months, and I might even dare to say they continue to improve little by little. The amount of detail they...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    @dansomeone Output watts isn't all that useful of a metric until you consider your speaker sensitivity. Very insensitive speakers need a lot more watts than very sensitive speakers do. My speakers have around 99 dB sensitivity (very high), and I get complaints from my neighbors with my volume...

    Zu Audio Soul Mk II Review

    Zu is such a great company. I'm very happy to support them.

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    I bought a Decware amp and Zu speakers last year, so I can merrily endorse your plan. Definitely get the speakers first, all else equal. As others have said, a low powered amp won't work well with inefficient speakers. I'm not sure what your timeline for both steps is, but keep in mind it'll...

    Zu Dirty Weekend

    I had the same reaction with my Souls, as I've detailed somewhere in one of these threads. Definitely wasn't a fan of their bass when using spikes on my carpet, but it blossomed into something amazing when I put them on 12"x12" bamboo cutting boards with the ball feet.

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    If anyone is looking for a great, relatively inexpensive DAC, this is a tremendous deal at 50% off for $375: Arcam - irDAC-II USB DAC I've used one and it gave my vinyl setup (which was 10x more in retail pricing) a true run for its money. Really great value in that DAC.

    Bottlehead and Zu

    I would guess if you compare them to Druids, then sure, they're short. Otherwise, nahhhh.

    I'll second the UHaul small size boxes. They're the perfect size and super cheap. Used them exclusively my last two moves with no issues.

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Can't recommend Decware enough, from being able to buy direct, customize/mod with upgrades and different configurations, and the sound is the best part. If you're interested in them, take some time to read some of the articles Steve Deckert has on the website. Lots of great stuff on his design...

    What's Going On Up There- The Headphone Thread

    With the Souls, those watts go a longgggg way! And it's 2.3 watts, thank you very much ;)

    What's Going On Up There- The Headphone Thread

    So I just got a rather nasty noise complaint at my new place (I honestly don't even crank things up terribly loud! :mad::LOL:), and while my Massdrop/Sennheiser 6xx's are decent, they pale in comparison to my Zu Soul speakers. Seems like I'm going to have to use headphones much more often now...
