Randy in Caintuck Seasoned Member Tube be ... or not tube be ... it's a no-brainer. Posts: 965	The Decware Audio ZROCK2 10/10/21 at 17:47:28 I recently added a new page to my website ..... After attending the 2021 Decware Audio Fest, I was compelled to share my "ZROCK2 experience" with visitors to my site ..... The link can be found here. Truthfully, I am still in shock ..... Happy listening, Randy

I had been told by others in the community that of all the components that accompanied their Decware amp, the one they appreciated the most was the ZRock2. Having never heard one, I was taking it on faith. Your thumbs up recommendation is confirming of that decision.

Hi John,

Sorry ..... I spent the entire 2021 Decware Fest in the smaller listening room playing DJ .....

I know that there were several other attendees who were in the larger room and they might have heard this combo.

From what I understand, the Lii Audio reference speakers have a very robust low end without any help needed ..... but Steve would be the best source for this information.

Best wishes,
Randy

I have spent much time with the ZROCK2 on Lii Audio speakers, Fostex, Lowther, Omega, and many brands you haven't heard of because they have no brand... Virtually all of these speakers become transformational with a ZROCK2. I suspect there aren't too many speakers in the world that wouldn't have similar results.

The best thing to do if you have speakers that you like, is NOT to hear them with a ZROCK2. I would say the same thing about reel to reel tape machines. The reason is because once you hear a master tape or a ZROCK2 which essentially gives the same result, you will not be able to enjoy music the same without it. You will have quickly realized, A) how good your speakers actually are, and B) how bad your recordings were.

I bought one ZROCK2 for one system. And over a few years I bought two more because each system I have HAS TO HAVE ONE. I'm probably not alone. . . .

Thanks all,

I have a wanted ad in the classified for a zrock2 but so far no used options.

I will be running the Lii audio finished speakers that you have in-house and in your speaker for sale pages with their new 10 inch driver.

I use a holo audio dac.

Steve, What zrock2 options would you suggest if I am purchasing new and what benefits to the various mods?

Thanks again
Johm
