 7. Zu/DL-103 Mk.II by ZU Audio ($439)


Zu/DL-103 Mk.II


  • moving coil

  • 0.25 mV output

  • 40 ohm impedance


The Zu doesn’t just slay giants: It rips their beating heart from their chests, shows it to them, finishes them off, then chases their souls and drags them down to hell. ...the Zu DL-103 in particular was capable of sounding bigger, and had a better, more impactful way with uptempo music. In that respect, the Zu was more stirring—more involving—than all but my Miyabi 47. Really.

 —Art Dudley, Stereophile
