Looking to change from Thiel 7's
I have palns to go visit the "local" Thiel dealer in Gulfcoast Alabama, maybe June. Gotta see what thats all about...Or do you suggest I save myself the trip?... This Sunday I'm headed up to Isola Mississippi to hear the Tyler 3 way, Ty's System 2... 
JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ?
Just discovered why Jadis gives many photos of the same amp, shows each with different tubes. You get a choice of at laest 4 types of tubes. UNREAL!. that seals the deal, I'm skipping the Cayin, going Jadis next amp. Now has anyone compared the 30... 
JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ?
Thinking about it now, I made the best decision in getting the 88's trying them in the JOR. The 88 is not the sound I'm looking for. Its too mellow and vague. I love the details, sharpness projected by the 90's. No I think I'll hold off buying the... 
JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ?
The 90's sounded excellent in the first minute. Sound EXACTLY the same as today.What I want to know is, does the other Jadis amps that use the 88 have simulairty as the EH88? If so then I may want to ignore the Cayin A88 and other Jadis' that use ... 
Cayin A 88-T vs Rogue Tempest: Thoughts?
JOR comes with KT90's, a tube Richard Grew had the highest praise for. I should have listened to his advise."100 hours warm up". The KT90's sounded good in the first minute , sound EXACTLY the same , then as now. I'm not a believer of the breakin ... 
2way, 21/2way, 3way, 31/2way speakers
2.5Mid woofer Tweeter Mid woofer. This to me represents the best possible offerings. The 2 mids act in unison, one might be valued to lower fq's. You get a hugh mid section sound stage/presence. 
Tired of boring, polite, laid-back sound.....
I agree with aball. I had several speakers and several amps. The less than average amps, NAD and Rotel(brit design) made some pretty good music through my top line speakers, and very aweful sound through my B&W speakers.Equally my JOR amp soun... 
Cayin A 88-T vs Rogue Tempest: Thoughts?
I only heard 1 Rogue amp yrs ago, mono block tube. So will not comment. At the moment I'm doing my darn-dest to acuquie a A88 so as to compare with the Jadis OR/KT90 tubes.. This way I have a sense of reference to go by. Hope to establish a sense ... 
JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ?
The KT88's just arrived, replaced the KT90's with the Elecrto KT88's and after only 10 minutes of listening, promptly placed them back in their boxes. I'd say the quality lost is near 50%. In fact had the original JOR came with these 88's I'd be o... 
What is Better? SS Amp+Tube CD OR Tube Amp+SS CD
tube amp + tube cdp, works for me at least. 
Tube takeover

Low level listening
how many folks actually own apiano to compare the speaker with it?How many here actually listen to only piano solo?After having heard more than 50 speakers in the past 5 yrs, I can tell you there was not one that matches the Thors. A few had deepe... 
Help with a tube amp recommendation
As to the Audio Research VTL100 Mk2, my friend had a Audio Research VTL 200 MK1, and he agreed my Jadid Orch at less than half the size of his AR amp/pre combo, was superior in resolution, cleaner/less fatigue, to his AR. Of course he had the powe... 
Low level listening
Agree, just about any stereo sytem sounds good to excellent at low volume levels. I'm refering to less than 9 o'clock on the control. Now just after 9 o'clock on the contriol, this is point where any average sounding amp, begins to show its colora... 
differences between tube and solid state designs
"slight differences"...not sure which amps you are listening to. Take any Cayin tube, put it in a room with any ss amp, even 3X's the Cayin price. Then come back and post a comment.
