Title: Any Zen TorII Owners in DFW Area ?
Post by DLM on 12/09/21 at 23:53:25

I'm new to the forum and wondered if any Zen TorII owners in the DFW area would consider hosting a listening session at a time of their convenience ?
I have a pair of Cornwalls and looking to replace my Marantz 2325 with a Zen TorII.
I haven't yet been able to listen to any Decware gear.
Thanks

Hello and welcome. I hope you get a reply from someone able to help you out. I am not in your area, nor do I have a big Torii, but I can tell you I have a Zen Triode and a Mini Torii and love them both. I also have some vintage SS (MAC 1900 and Accuphase E303), so I think I have pretty good experience to judge sound. I think they each have their place, but if I could only pick one, it would be Decware (not sure which I'd pick).

Part of my love for Decware is tube rolling, love the glow at night of tubes, but the sound is beyond anything else I've heard. Since my Decware is lower power, I tend to use it for lower level intimate listening (although they can get loud if I want, just not party loud). Especially at these lower levels, SS can't compare to the Decware tube spendor.

The business model is set up for the buyer to have a return privilege if for some reason they don't like the gear. These posts wanting to hear someone else's gear don't always work. And if you do find someone willing to do a demo, it is in their listening room, not yours.
