WOW for the HR-1s, WOW for the ZROK and the CSP3 and more wows for the ZMA. Ill review the system at a later date, but for now here is a little picture.

What a great set up! (Full disclosure: that's what I have too -- except the ZROCK.) What's your phono stage?

Edit: Ooops, I just saw the ZP3. I've got that too plus a ZMC1. I'm currently waiting on my new Technics 1200G to arrive. Should be about as good as it gets -- in my world anyway. 8-)

I sent Steve my ZP3 to see if he could get rid of a hum it's had since new 3+ years ago. It ships back tomorrow - hopefully sans hum. So, I'll be back up to full speed. There's nothing I have to tell you about how great this combination sounds.

Just looking for one of records that has a soundstage that expands to left of the left speaker and to the right of the right speaker and can't find the darn thing :) its some German decca record from the 60s by some Austrian quartet and can't think of their darn name. going crazy. Need to find another recording that does the same :)

I rarely get anything outside of my speakers. Maybe limits of my room?

i think its just placement in the room, i also think there is a bit of wanting really hard to hear something :)

When I play Amused to death, there are sounds coming from every strange part of the room

That's because that album had elements recorded with Q-Sound.

Interesting Lon I cant say that I have ever heard a recording using this method.

I have heard a few, mainly on others' systems, as the Q-sound filter/system seems to be used on styles of music I generally don't listen to at home. Neat. .. but not really a "necessary" thing in my listening world.

Thank you Lon. i just looked on the q sound website and found pink fluid pulse live 1995 was recorded using q-sound. and boy it does sound great, i am having to listen to my speakers near filed with toe at 90 degrees because of that high mid resonance from being new. they fill the room awesome
