ASUS today announced ZenDrive U8M, an all-new, high-style external DVD-writer drive that features the latest-gen USB-C® interface to enable instant and convenient multimedia playback and data archivi. Although the Zen teacher must embody Zen and express it in all their words and deeds, a Zen teacher is not exactly a guru, a Buddha archetype at the center of a student’s practice. To be sure, respect for and confidence in the teacher is essential if one is to undergo the transformation in consciousness that Zen promises.

'For those who adhere to the 'first-watt' theory of HiFi, here’s a bonus: the Decware Zen amplifier gives you two. Yep, two watts per channel single-ended triode. I must admit they are pretty big watts, as I had no problem driving my reference GamuT S-7’s to a more than reasonable level. (The S-7’s have a rated sensitivity of 89db at 1 watt and a retail price of $42k per pair.)'
If this amplifier were sold in the retail market, which it's not, the retail price would be $2495.00... but fortunately Decware sells wholesale to the public. The further research you do into Decware and this amplifier the more you will realize that nothing sounds better for the dollar. The Decware Zen Triode Amplifier is a single-ended-triode design using Russian 6P15P-EV or EL84 output tubes. This amp features one output tube per channel, and both are driven by a 6N1P/6922 dual-triode input tube. There are only one capacitor and two resistors in the signal path of this amplifier. The internal parts are connected point-to-point, part-lead to part-lead with almost no wire and no circuit boards. In addition to this extreme simplicity, there is also no negative-feedback giving you unlimited sound-stage depth. This circuit features a floating output-stage that makes it possible to bridge the amp into mono without any loss of fidelity. There is also a volume control with additional accommodations for two sources if you choose not to use a pre-amplifier. The design also features a self-biased output-stage which is 100% stable making bias-runaway and premature tube failures obsolete. There are no tedious adjustments making this amplifier virtually maintenance free. UFO stands for Ultra Fidelity Output referring to the output transformers. These proprietary Decware transformers are made with a high degree of precision using the very best grain-oriented silicon-steel cores for a bandwidth five times wider than human hearing so that the response in the audio band becomes ruler flat. Speakers with an efficiency of 96 dB with 1 watt will, for example, make your 2 watt Zen Triode amplifiers sound as loud as a 70 watt amplifier running conventional speakers rated at 84dB. When these amplifiers were first released in 1998, there were a minimal number of present day ' high efficiency ' speaker offerings to choose from that didn't break the bank... Fostex, Lowther, Klipsch and a few others. Today companies like Decware, Omega, Zu, Tekton, Caintuck Audio and dozen of others make speakers who fall into the desirable 94dB or higher range, and that's all you need to rock out with this Zen Triode Amp. If you have regular hi-if speakers that you've always loved and were afraid this may not drive them - understand two things: A) It will drive them louder than you're expecting and B) you can bridge these amps into mono for three times the power. AS OF JUNE / 2015 The SE84UFO now features a switch on each channel of the amplifier to go inbetween LO (2~6 ohms) and HI (6~16 ohms) speakers. This is a result of the UFO high-bandwidth output transformer upgrade that now comes standard in every Zen Triode Amplifier. The switch can be operated while listening to music and it is recommended to do so as both settings will work on almost every speaker. The correct setting is the one that sounds the best to you. This amp is shipped with hand-selected premium quality 6P15P-EV output tubes rated at 5000 hours. These tubes have been branded 'SV83' in past years. NOTE: You can also use EL84/6BQ5's in this amplifier without adjustments of any kind. If you compare the these to the supplied 6P15P-EV’s you may find the included later to be unparalleled in speed and detail. The reason for this is because the 6P15P-EV is actually a video tube with much wider bandwidth than many audio tubes, and this gives a sense of great speed when listening to music on a Zen Triode amplifier. We think these small output tubes are some of the best sounding and best-quality available today. Of course, with all the EL84/6BQ5 options out there, you can have a lot of fun experimenting without breaking the bank! The input tube shipping with the amp is a 6N1P-EV. The amp is, however, also compatible with 6922 or 6DJ8 or 7DJ8. 6N1Ps have the warmest tone, 6922s have the best dynamics. 6DJ8s have the most air and micro-detail with a touch less bass. Again, a few different tubes can be a powerful tool for voicing your amplifier to your particular tastes. The amplifier ships with a 5U4 rectifier tube. In place of the 5U4, you can use a5AR4, 5Y3GT, and certain types of 274B . We also have a support forum with many people who own this amplifier whose experiences you may benefit from.
You may read all of the Zen Triode reviews here - going back over 15 years and customer comments like this: 'Hi Steve, I have been very fortunate to have picked up an Se84CKC amp over here in the UK. I have owned all sorts of power amps in the past, 300b, 45, EL34 but your amp surpasses them all. I quite liked the 45 monos but they never went loud enough even though I have K-horns. No such problem with your amp however and as you quite rightly say the speed and attack is amazing out of a mere 2 watts! I agree with your opinion of the output valves, I always enjoyed the El 84's as being a very sweet sounding valve in the days when I had a Leak stereo 20 and these Russian valves are a step up......really remarkable. I am so glad I took the chance on your products and now have a complete set and am very happy. Vinyl is my preferred medium and I am really enjoying revisiting my favorite albums. It's incredible what is stored in those grooves. Anyway,I really appreciate Decware's philosophy and continuing efforts to provide guys like me with the chance to own top notch sound at very reasonable prices....long may it continue!
This amplifier requires no adjustments or maintenance other than changing tubes every couple of years. It is a self-biasing design and self-balancing... meaning even unmatched tubes can be used without ruining the sound.
