Jadis Defy 7 MkIV w/ KT 90's tweeks

What Spectral preamp are you using ? I wonder-impedancewise-if Spectral/Defy is such a happy marriage, especially for the midrange, but then I may be wrong, I don't have the numbers available. I very much agree with 42659 about your Transparent interconnect. You could get in touch with the Cable Company, www.fatwyre.com, and get a Kimber, or a Spectral dedicated MIT ic for a home trial run. They are very helpful people, if you don't like the stuff, it will only cost you shipping, not more. Good Luck from me too!

OOps, Carey, I jsut realised this is an ancient thread! Should you stumble on it again, please let us know, how you solved the problem. Curious.

Hi George, apart from that fact, that you are right about the punch of the Defy, come to think of it, I don't know how to spell "coxones" either. Perhaps some kind soul will enlighten us. But that is not he point of my post: What do you mean with "split down the middle" ? I'm asking, because I'm using a Defy too, the Mark I, mind you, with the KT 90s as well, but midrange coherence seems ok. Perhaps you can help me what to listen for. Can be that I'm inhaling too much soldering fumes and them ears are beginning to tin over....

Duh, George, got it now...thanks, by the way, I think its spelled "cojones".

Andy, I compared my Defy 7 Mk I with GE 6550 Tubes and the KT 90. Speakers were Quads, cabling by nordost. The 6550's were nice, images sharp and stable, with the KT 90 as well, but they gave a tad more punch, speed and dynamics. That's the Mark I mind you. By the way, I've placed the Jadis on a slab of granite with three metal cones underneath the amp. Cheers
