We have created a new blog that will contain everything that’s NEW at Decware, including reviews and product announcements.  You can find it here at:  http://www.zenamps.wordpress.com

This blog will be retired and left hear as a valuable source of knowledge thanks to it’s kind amount of free articles on hi-fi.

Above is a link to the feed that was broadcast during 2011 Decware Zen Fest.    The microphones are so sensitive you can hear a fly fart in the next room.  Every word, every creek of the chair in the adjoining spaces and  of course every word that is said during this demo can be heard with the same clarity as the music.  Here is an opportunity to hear several Decware speakers demonstrated back to back.

Make plans early for this years annual Zen Fest at Decware!

“After hundreds of hours of initial listening, the Decware Zen Torii continues to improve, as designer Steve Deckert said it would.  While the full review will be in issue 40, suffice to say that this is one of the most musically engaging amplifiers I’ve had the pleasure to experience.  If you’ve ever spent time with a great SET and thought “If this only had 2-3 times the power, I could live with it,” your ship has arrived.  After owning a number of the world’s finest SET amplifiers, I can easily support Deckert’s claim that the Zen Torii is certainly the equal of any SET I’ve owned.“

Sales on the Zen TORII have become so great we had to remove it from the web site for 30 days and start a waiting list. Seems every time we get caught up the new batch of customers generate another wave of sales!

We launched our FRX driver this year and did some audio recordings of the actual driver.

“The low end through the ZDAC was so tight, taut and deep that it actually bottomed out the 5″ woofers of the DeVore speakers, something none of the other DACs achieved. Then again perhaps that’s a design flaw of some sort. I don’t know. But the ZDAC’s low end was excellent, gutsy, tight and had plenty of snap and power. Petty’s “Working Man’s Bible” presented excellent snap on Ferrone’s snare drum and cymbal spread was brilliant. The Sco disc reveled in a similarly large hall ambience.

The Z-DAC presented a very warm, flowing rich presentation of all discs. I dug it the most. Not as super resolving as the Moon, it presented an organic almost analog sound. Its voicing seemed centered on the midrange, a glorious midrange. I loved its tonality, its ability to isolate instruments yet thread them together into a concise coherent whole. Definitely first row. Baritone sax and bass drums on the Scofield disc had real bite, juiciness and succulence. You could lick the sounds coming out of this black box. It didn’t present a very large soundstage but it did exact a meaty vision that was very immediate, palatable and true. Sco’s guitar also had funky body and strings sounded rich. Drums exhibited punch and attack. Tactile touch-i-ness.

Food sounded almost flat in recording studio terms as though a veil had lifted. Even at lower volumes music was warm and exciting. The Z-DAC got the better of me. It made me forget about the review I had to write and simply partake of the music. But back to work, there was one more challenger.”
