DECWARE ZEN TORII MK III MANUAL
COMMENTS (CONT.)
Listening to this amplifier can be a demonstration of near perfection in every category. If
you have the room and the source to support it, the sound stage depth is infinite. The
width is equally impressive creating an arc that comes back to your shoulders, many feet
past the speakers position. The sound is big. It's full, the dynamics are convincingly real
as is the midrange and the top end seems to extend forever. Micro detail is almost twice
as resolved as our single ended triode amps. Focus is not unlike owning the best Nikon
camera lenses. I'm telling you this not because I've tallied up over 4000 hours in the
design since the first prototype back in 2002, but instead to make you aware of what to
expect from this amplifier. That way if you're not getting this result, you can be certain
that either your room acoustics, your source, your cables, or your speaker choice or
location is preventing it from happening. These weak links in the chain will determine
what you hear. As an example, It's not uncommon for people to get an amplifier this
good and be less than impressed with it because it only let them hear how mediocre their
source actually was, while at the same time the source made the amp sound not that
much different from what they were using before. If your imaging isn't perfect, if the
frequency balance isn't perfect, if you detect grain or any sense of dryness, sharpness, or
your speakers aren't doing a complete disappearing act, then something other than this
amp is likely at fault and I invite you to call and chat with me personally so we can
analyse the variables in your system, identify and correct weak links, and maximize the
setup options available to us.
My only wish is that this amp become your spaceship so that it takes you to some of the
out-of-body locations it has taken me, reduce you level of stress and improve your health
for your entire lifetime without disappointments.
