Nagra Jazz

Hi,
hopefully someone can answer the following Nagra Jazz questions for me. I have been told that there are optional transformers which can be build in the Nagra and have a positive effect on the sound. Has anyone done this? Another question: is there anybody who uses the Jazz in combination with Spectral power amps?
Thank you for your input!
Cheers,
Wim

The Jazz has balancing input and output transformers.  So if you have a balanced source or a balanced amp, these should be a help.  I used to own a Nagra PLL with balanced output transformers...

Nagra winds their own transformers, they are very good at this.

The Jazz is a fantastic preamp, I've heard it many times at my dealers...I recently just bought a Nagra Classic Amp.  It's a special piece.

Sorry I can help you on the interfacing with a Spectral Amp...

Thank you! I love the looks of the classic amp. Does it have enough " juice"? Or in other words, are 100W sufficient for your speakers? Thanks again!

I prefer electronic balanced circuits over transformers.
