Nagra Jazz

Jfrech...I have seen that XLR connections are standard with the Jazz. Was this also the case with the PLL and was it possible to use XLR without the transformers?

I am really going to give the Classic Amp a listen! Now playing with Spectral 360 mono blocks.

I sold my Ayre MXR's for the Nagra Classic...Maybe that says a bit what I think about the Nagra...

Honestly I don't remember on the XLR's...for the PLL...I think the answer is yes...but the balancing transformers were a option like your Jazz.   Nagra knows what they are doing on transformers...my dealer loves his input/outut transformers on his Jazz.  I just haven't heard it in my home...If you have a balanced source or amp...I think you are best to get this...

Thanks again! Since I am talking to a Nagra expert... why did you sell your PLL and which pre are you using now? Have you ever changed tubes yourself or is this better done by a specialist. At the moment I am offered a second hand jazz, pll and a cdp. A lot to consider...
