Title: Black Friday, what did you get?
Post by ZZuZZaXX on 12/02/19 at 21:07:28

I wanted to get an SE84UFO25, but my better half says we need to fix the roof. So, I got nothin'.

Did anyone do better?

Loaded ZROCK2. ( and some extra SE84UFO25 power tubes )

I am waiting for the build list to post/update.

I didn't order anything. I'm good except a few possible future upgrades to have a few components modded.

But I wish I had thought of ordering a few power tubes with the discount. Good call!

I ordered a "ZSB Switch Box". Basic build.

A ZKIT60 fully finished and a DHC1 power cord.
I'm going solid state, heck with these tube things!
OK, I'll keep my Torii around for comparison.

I just jumped back into the Decware camp and ordered both the SE84UFO25 and the ZROCK2 with all the fixins'. These should mate nicely with my Omega SAMs. For a while I had a Mini Torii which, honestly, I never warmed up to. It was indeed a great sounding amp, but not for me at the time. I sold and moved on to First Watt. But, the Decware Zen had a long time hold on me since I first heard it five years ago. I could never get beyond how clear and vivid music sounded with that amp. Not sure why I never bought it in lieu of the Mini Torii...perhaps the bigger the better syndrome. Nonetheless, I am delighted I waited, and as Steve Deckert said years ago during a conversation we once had unrelated to his amps: "sometimes you're rewarded for waiting."

Let's hope so.

I had to pass. I had already used my 10% coupon from Decfest to buy a CSP3-25. Just 15 ahead of me on the build list now. 😁

I am new to Decware and ordered the ZMA with all the mods plus a platform for it and a zbit. I had a PrimaLuna Tube amp before and was not impressed. This will be my second time trying Tube amplification, hoping for a much better experience.

Sparks -what speakers have you been listening with?

Donnie - would you please post your thoughts once you've become acquainted with the Zkit60? I've been curious about that amp.

When I had my Primaluna I was using Goldenear reference speakers, bhk pre, ps audio DSD, p20 conditioner, I have since moved to the Philippines and have a set of Amphion argon ls7 powered by a Parasound Hint 6, the bass on the Parasound is so bad its a little hard to listen to at times, I wonder if something is broken with the amp.
