Jadis Orchestra Ref + Pre-Amp?
Yes that is what Richard Grey told me, that it would be major tweaking to supply a preout.Richard did say the KT90's add abit more bass over the 88's. I'm not going to switch tubes, just seems a better option is to upgrade to the Cayin. I mean wha... 
Jadis Orchestra Ref + Pre-Amp?
Bbro's experience with the Jadis certainly attests to the power offered in the smallest of Jadis amps. My friend with the big hefty ARC VTL200 was quite impressed that the Jadis delivered a much better sound vs his big amp/pre. Though we both agre... 
Jadis Orchestra Ref + Pre-Amp?
I do not know how to bias my JOR if at all possible.Never cared for flat toned sound, so I place the trebel and bass controls 95% gain. If I put the controls all the way up, I get a slight hum. My Jadis are driving prefectly the Thor's. A pretty h... 
what is the difference between good and bad music
Ck out jaybo's comment on the thread "what to do with 1200 cds I do not need" made on 4-21. There Jaybo says, "what we collect defines who we are".As I interpret Jaybo's nicely put comment, why keep music on our shelf that serves no purpose to our... 
What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need
Ck out Jaybo's 4-21 comment, "What you collect is who you are".Man talk about the best one liner in music. Revelation for sure. I'm in the process of trying to get exactly this point , over to understanding among my gramophone friends in classical... 
what is the difference between good and bad music
Hey Newbee, well yeah thats kinda how it went down. I mentioned the fact I've never had much of an interest in Beethoven and came back to haunt me. Now of course the forum members over at good music guide will deny that's how it went down, but und... 
what is the difference between good and bad music
What I don't like is intolerance for other folks opinions. I have no issues with someome slamming and trashing my favorite composers. In fact its a good thing as it reveals some defense mechanism in support of their fav composers. Example, Beethov...

Cayin A 88-T integrated:The new King of the Hill?
I'm big on Cayin,. but look at the Jungson D88 offered here. 
what is the difference between good and bad music
I recall yrs ago, a friend told me that Miami Sound machine, as Gloria Estafan 's group was called, that this group was going to be a big hit. At the time they only had a few songs out on spanish radio in Miami.If anyone had seen Shakira in her ea... 
what is the difference between good and bad music
Mrt, from what you say , seems foolish that some japenese investment group would pay something like $60M for a Van Gogh. If its all subjective, then to some a Van Gogh is worthless, wouldn't pay a penny for one, yet to another its priceless. As yo... 
help need in choosing a $800 to $1500 cd player
Do you know of Cayin? Take a look. 
what is the difference between good and bad music
Lrsky, there is one composer in "classical form"(outdated term, as each composer is very different) that strikes me as one that many of you R&R/blues, maybe even jazz fans may find interesting. Alfred Schnittke. I'm not saying you will like hi... 
what is the difference between good and bad music
Does society have the ears, the capacity to know just what is good/bad music?Look at how long before Vincent Van Gogh was recognized as a ture genius of high art form. I witness this same phenomenon in classical music. Some 20th century composers ... 
Blessed Yes of Baton Rouge
Folks love the name, forgetting about the religious overtones. The words to Trace are really neat, very specail little love song. I love the words and believe the message is one of healing and the brings to mind mind the true idea about Eros, as t...
