I haven't been able to figure out how to target the most recent posts on a particular topic and get that post and not just the whole thread. Without this search function the whole site is useless to me and I don't come here anymore except to figure out if the search function works the way I want it to.

The new ZD with dress plate

I don't know if this has been pointed out previously but there is another informative thread in Head-Fi.org about the Zana Deux with a strong focus on tube rolling: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/eddie-current-zana-deux-owners-193868/

I had the great fortune to send in a downpayment for the Zana Deux on my birthday, June 1st and Craig had a cancellation so I'm to get one of the next batch. I'd been thinking of getting a tube amp but was put off by my only hearing of the Singlepower MPX3 (toaster). Perhaps the tubes were not to my liking but the whole presentation was warm and as if covered in honey, with not much natural soundstage left. So the reviews of the Zana Deux made me excited to get one. I've been living in cramped quarters for the last two years and haven't been able to set up my speaker system. Next year I'll finally have more room and was thinking about a tube preamp for my system so having the tube headphone amp and a good preamp to use later was perfect. I had used my Headroom Max 2004 amp as a pre before with pretty good results but I think the ZD will really be great for my system. Since getting the GS-1000 which is practically as detailed as my speakers I haven't felt any hardship without the speaker system set up (VMPS 626R). I used a tube integrated amplifier (Dynaco) for almost 20 years so I know how great this will be. Thanks for all of your encouragement and information about tube rolling. Bob Major
