Capital Audiofest 2016: Zu breaks loose with pure Definition

July 27, 2016

Why do you go to an audio show? Is it to consort with the like minded? Shop? Explore an alien world? There are a lot of answers to this “why” question, but one of the ones that my audiophile-writer colleagues like to harp on is the [...]

Ruby Obsession: Zu Audio Showoff

June 8, 2016

Time for a photo smackdown. We have three photos of two different Zu Audio loudspeakers, the Druid and the Soul Supreme, that were shown at T.H.E. Show at Newport Beach in 2016 sporting an extra-special finish called Ruby Obsession — and win [...]

Newport 2015: Whammerdyne Heavy Industries

June 16, 2015

This is why you go to an audio show. We all say that we’re curious about the industry. We all say that we’re looking to hear a bunch of different systems. We make excuses about how good it is to see everybody. We talk about how good a [...]

RMAF 2014: You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here

November 15, 2014

You’d think that attending so many audio shows so very, very regularly would start to do some pretty serious damage to anyone’s enthusiasm. How exciting can it be to repeatedly trudge through crowded hallways for a weekend just to sit in [...]

RMAF 2014: Peachtree, Zu Get Their Groove On

November 3, 2014

by John Stancavage I like to attend a weekly Sunday lunch in my hometown where someone from the local vinyl club spins LPs all afternoon. I’m probably pushing the age limit a bit, since the crowd is mainly bearded twenty-somethings and others only [...]

New York 2014: Peachtree Audio, Zu Audio and VPI

October 9, 2014

Koby Koranteng of Hi-Fi Logic, Zu Audio’s East Coast Diplomat, didn’t quite bolt as soon as I pulled out the camera, but he did maintain a suspicious distance and as soon as I asked a much-subdued Jon Derda of Peachtree Audio to step [...]

CAS 2014: Zu Audio with First Watt, K&K Audio, Rupert Neve and Rega

August 29, 2014

Over the last year, I seem to have become the designated hitter for the Zu Audio room. This is some kind of cruel joke on our readers, because I usually say the same thing. It’s probably going to be some variation on the theme of Zu trading a [...]

AXPONA 2014: Wrap Up

May 13, 2014

Chicago in April is a capricious time to visit, but while we all got a bit damp here and there, at least this year we didn’t have to dump into the street while we all waited for the fire department. That is, we were able to stay inside for [...]

AXPONA 2014: Zu Audio and Peachtree at the top of their game

May 5, 2014

Okay, folks. Here’s another Best In Show Contender, and no, it’s not just because Zu Audio‘s Sean Casey and Peachtree Audio‘s Jon Derda are some of the most interesting up-and-comers in audio’s high-end. Though, that [...]

RMAF 2013: Zu Audio and Peachtree make with the beautiful

October 19, 2013

“Peachtree Audio & Zu Audio, together, at last.” It sounds like a marquee on some cheesy ad copy, but I suppose it makes a wicked kind of sense. Both of these brands are known for value. Both of these brands have a certain chic. And [...]
