| Your favorite classical composers/works? For all you R&R/blues/jazz fans looking to get a toe into classical and have been turned off by the popular romantic composers, none of which i am a fan of, except for 3 of Wagner's operas, ck out Pettersson/1911-1980 and Schnittke/1934-1998. ... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? I don't think the Cayin is as versatile as the Jadis in accepting various tubes. btw did you feel obligated in buying the speakers with the A88? Which city do you live that has Cayin to audition? | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Saki I plan to stay with the Jadis tubes in the JOR. These are very expensive tubes and to get any quality that will equal these 90's will cost me a fortune. I suggest you stay with the cayin tubes, which are no doubt FIRST CLASS tubes. IOW don't ... | |
| Do tube dampers improve sound? hocus pocus | |
| Speaker 101 - tweeter and cone materials I like the materials but mostly the engineering to the Seas'. They seem to get the best balance, fluidness and rigitity, resulting in most musical. | |
| Rotel RCD 1072 verus Channel Islands VDA2 DAC I had a Rotel cdp, a NAD as well, 3 yr old models. Used I guess you can get either for a few hundred, but I'd recommend a new/used Cayin. preferably the 17, but a cheaply priced 15 will work as well. No contest. | |
| Cayin A88 sells in one day I was not looking for any trouble around here, so I'll stay out of it and let this topic sink down a few pages. Besides I'm surprised the moderators let it pass. Lets keep things friendly, its just a hobby, don't take it too seriously. Tvad has a ... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Yes I just talked with Pierre, he said the best Kt88's are those directly from Jadis, but cost is $$$. I'll stay with the 90's. You know when you pick one tube over another, quality tubes I'm talking about, class A sound, you give up something for... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? Aktchi, I had to cancel my visit to Mississippi to hear the Tyler's Systems, a 3 way, with seas W22/W17/T25. I just looked at a map and its just too far for my unemployed budget. The gas alone would be like 150. The same price is I had Ty ship me ... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Trejla, I'm will to give up bottom end for brilliance in the highs. I do not like flat mids/highs. So that would be the E34L tube for sparkling highs/mids, correct? I also like very analytical sound stage, nothing mushy/all jelled together. Like t... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Trejla , I feel I need to try the JJe34l in my JOR. Now do you suggest I get the DA30 intergrated and experiement with 34 and 77's? Like you I am after vividness and brilliance, nothing flat sounding like the EH KT88's. Will the DA30 accept 77's?I... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? "forth vote..." "fifth vote for merlin..." If this were a popularity contest your merlin would win, but its not. its about sound. | |
| What is Better? SS Amp+Tube CD OR Tube Amp+SS CD "my friend say to have clean/neutral amp up front...."To my ears a top quality tube amp delivers the purest, most musical sound. I've yet to hear any ss amp that beat a tube...well I take that back, I have heard a few tube that did sound smokey/fo... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Trelja, interesting comments. So there is a difference in the EH 88 tube I had and the stock 88's that Jadis puts in their units? I'm very happy with the 90. After hearing the EK 88 I'd be afraid to try any other tube except the 90.I believe Jadis... | |
| pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget Heck put away your 3-4K. Just put up 1K for the Cayin 17. If anyone thinks they have a madel that can beatout the 17 I'd like to hear it. Excluding Jadis of course. |
