Posted July 16, 200520 yr Well, I'm a fan, so I thought we could kick this off with a little discussion as to what experiences our memebers have with the products. I myself have been a huge fan since the GOOD Hifonics. Wish I never sold them, or the ESX, or the Rodek I had. I am very picky on my equipment and of the many choices out there, I have always come back to two prominent companies, Zed and Zapco. Zap is a little out of my pricerange and frankly, I don't see a benefit over ZED. What I really like is when I shoot you guys an email, I get to talk to the man himself. That is an honor right there and holds high regards in my book. So MR. Mantz, welcome and thanks for staying true to the hobby!
July 16, 200520 yr Admin I just spoke to him on the phone, he called me no less than an hour after I sent an email, anyway, I have loved my ZED experiences, I still try to hunt down some US Acoustics ZED board's

July 17, 200520 yr Actually, no. It's a Cadence a5000 "Sweet Poison" that Zed did for Cadence back in the 90's. I'm not sure if it was Zed built or Zed designed, but for all intents and purposes it's a Zed amp.
July 18, 200520 yr Sorry, I should have put some sort of sarcastic smiley behind that.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Forgive me..... I heard my Cadence scream when I read Jensen. I had to run to it's defense! I love y'all
July 18, 200520 yr I had a lot of email correspondance with him and he was VERY helpful and prompt with his replys. Sadly my install went in another direction, but in the end I'm sure I'll visit him sometime or another to purchase an amp.I'm personally waiting on the megalith. That should be fun :-D.

It is nice to know that one is appreciated. What we at Zed have done is to offer high end equipment at affordable prices. I trust that most of you have visited the web site. It is a very different site in that it is written by an engineer and NOT a sales person. I have also made the site very different from all the others. Zed will build amplifiers based on what you guys (and girls) want. This is why I held the promotion on the new Kronos and Leviathan. A similar thing will occur when we start on the tube amps. So all suggestions should be emailed to me at "[email protected]", they will be filed and once I am ready to begin all those suggestions will be considered.Thanks once againStephen Mantz

August 11, 200520 yr I have been in email contact with Mr. Mantz about the Leviathan and he never mentioned any promotion to me. I wish I had signed up for that one.
August 11, 200520 yr when he said promotion, i think he was talking about getting everyones input on what features and rating they would like to see on the amps.
