August 5, 200718 yr Author Hey, Jocelyn, Nice to see you joining us. turns out that I may have missed my opportunity to live with the crazy lady. doesn't matter, I want something bigger and better now: A Basssoon. I regularly have dreams of playing it again, and I think it's about time to make my dreams come true. Taking offers for the ZD, but not sold on selling it yet So I think I will get an all-in-one to make up for that... a balanced dac I guess (apogee, lavry, benchmark, or bel canto?) tell me what you think.
August 5, 200718 yr Taking offers for the ZD, but not sold on selling it yet Ahem...you have a PM sir.
August 5, 200718 yr Author Ahem...you have a PM sir. Don't put your hopes on this... I've been tittering on the edge of getting a bassoon for years and whenever the whim comes to me, it usually goes away in a week. I think I just posted that to make conversation really... because I'll probably find another way to fund a bassoon.. and all this is dependent on where I move for the school year... so It is entirely possible...but yea, i'll wait. sorry. I was probably too early to the trigger there. But if you have a Supra XLR, why the hell would you care for a Zana Deux?
August 5, 200718 yr But if you have a Supra XLR, why the hell would you care for a Zana Deux? Curiosity? Heck, sometimes I get into buying modes. I'll try things and make comparisons. What I like, I keep. What doesn't please me, I sell. Finding time to get to meets is difficult or at least it has been during my office build so it's really the best way for me to audition gear. Lose a lot of money that way, but hey, it's a hobby and I enjoy it. Beats booze and women. Cheaper, too.
August 9, 200718 yr For those looking for a ZD there is one in the amp sale forum at HFi. I've communicated with the seller as I was really tempted to get one, but holding off since I'm moving.
August 9, 200718 yr Author I've seen that one... (if I were you I'd hold off for a first generation model). I'm being interviewed constantly, I even got rejected from that crazy lady's place. I'm going to this place on telegraph... If i Get It, I promise to buy the L3K (or at least a qualia)!
August 9, 200718 yr I've seen that one... (if I were you I'd hold off for a first generation model). why is that? i thought the first and second generations were relatively similar, i.e. same parts.
August 9, 200718 yr Author why is that? i thought the first and second generations were relatively similar, i.e. same parts. that's what I thought too....
August 9, 200718 yr Author I think on the inside they are the same, but all the RCA connectors and 1/4th headphone jack appeared of cheaper quality to me. The power supply also got smaller, but I don't know what the deal is with that. on the plus side, the newer ones have a cooler paint job.
