Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
Southwest audio show apparently was a big hit and a great place for audio.
It's nice to see Jay is taking an interest in McIntosh amplifiers. He has a 2 boxes in his lab containing MC 901 dual mono amplifiers that can be used to biamp lots of things including speakers , a tube/solid state amplifier. He promises a review sometime soon.
Additionally he's got brand new speakers and we don't know what they are because they are Hidden behind acoustical panels waiting to be unveiled sometime by Thanksgiving.
Jay predicts his brand will be bigger than southwest audio show. Jays audio show coming to a Texas town near you.
Looking forward to all the excitement.
The last audio show in Texas brought together hundreds of individualized components that were all assembled in individual rooms where elderly men were shepherded in and out of these rooms, why they don’t allow women to these events is beyond me, it’s just remarkable. How does anybody discern anything of sonic quality with these horribly set up rooms with all the mismatched components." The more you post the more you lose the very little , if any credibility you may have had. Dealers and/or manufacturers spend a lot of coin doing these shows but according to you they haphazardly compile components to show. Amazing! And, women aren’t allowed , another ridiculous point. Do yourself a favor and stop embarrassing yourself

Some thoughts about the sonic experience within a hotel room at a show. Each luxurious room offers a variety of components where each one has their own impact on sound and and then enter all the people coming into the room, mostly older gents whose hearing isn’t as good as it used to be, and who are not familiar with these components. how is one to discern the qualities of any of the components on display??? Is it the speakers, is it the amplifier, is it the $40,000 cables, is it the power conditioner, is it the pretty line stage pre-amplifier, is it the glorified Computer masquerading as a server, is it the streamer, turntable, and of course we have the dac. Who is most responsible for all the lovely noise? Probably mostly the speakers and the amplifier. And let’s of course not forget the quality of the recorded music which really can impact the sound. Thank you Diana Krall for all your incredibly well recorded and mixed music, it sounds remarkably good anywhere. |
@emergingsoul “Why they don’t allow women to these events is beyond me” Sir are you all right? |

Blathering - the action of talking long-windedly without making very much sense.

I come across his videos on YouTube and some I try to watch but he just talks too much” the guest hardly gets to say much without Jay going on and on.
I”d like to hear more music and less talking.

Jay had a great show today. He was at a beautiful home with an amazing backyard. It was with a customer who purchased nearly a quarter million dollars worth of gear. Pretty amazing. Not sure why the acoustics weren’t better in that room, it was an echo chamber and so many windows behind the speakers. But the overall room had no furniture and was just a wide open space. All the gear was set up and yet they didn't Play the system. This made no sense to me. Basically it seemed like an infomercial because he was marketing services.
|
@emergingsoul So how was it a great show since they didn't play music which made no sense to you, and you characterize it as an infomercial? |
Would you spend $250,000 for equipment in a room that just may not work out because of the way it's designed?? That room is gonna be an acoustical challenge it may never work out. Seems to me he should've bought much cheaper equipment and then worked his way up. Apparently people have tons of money and they can make these types of decisions but that's pretty risky in my opinion. It would be great if that room would work out because it's amazing how nice it looks.

@ozzy62 You'd be surprised how many in California don't fit the stereotype. Myself and everyone I know included.
I enjoyed Jay's videos where there were audio comparisons of components and the viewer was left to listen. Wish more videos were done like that. |
@ozzy62 Amen. We'll do what we can. |
It’s not at all clear what kind of value he’s offering albeit a colorful character. He substantially augments his profits by selling a cable he makes with everything & he apparently gives no opportunity to compare it with anything else & never ever explains how it sounds except to exclaim its fantastic. This doesn’t bode well as an indicator of what one wants from a dealer - but what kind of audio dealer (especially EXTREMELY high end & expensive has no phone no. listed anywhere?Really? & I mean REALLY? I’m sure a deeper look would reveal more That's sub-par by really any standard. From what I’ve seen he’s FAR from the only game in town as a retail source on so many fronts. |
I live under a rock so someone please help me catch up- Jay’s audio… is this the bloke who makes the CD transports or is it the big dude with the bald head who reviews gear on YouTube, or are they one and the same?? And what was the topic of the long thread that was removed that I feel I ought to have read at some point but didn’t?

+1 @john1 you are 110% correct. NO phono # NO value of what he talks about. Seems he only wants $$$$$ gear to say "Hey look what I have!" BFD
