Seas Thor'sBest overall in my 30 yrs of testing.Sure its a kit, that takes a very good solder gun + a friend to help out.If I can figure out the solder points, anyone can.I had Richard Grey (Power Conditioner designer) make the solder points, he d... 
Schnittke / Pettersson 2 late 20th century master
Rushton, I have found both the Segerstam/BIS very good, with the CPO series to be near equal. In fact comparing the 2 make a pointless case. Segerstam takes a more civil approach, CPO more gutsy. I have accepted Segerstam's handling only til recen...

JoeThough I don't like to change out tubes, cause as you know there is a trade off. However you do may the comment in the "coldness" of the JOR with the KT90's. Now folks reading this may not understand that the JOR with the KT90's is a very nice ... 
Jadis Orch Ref vs opera consonance m100plus
With all the fine compliments the JOR has received lately , I'm sure you will not find one for less than...$1500 USD/rated 9. If its 4 yrs or older /rated 8, then I'd guess used at $1200. But as you say very few go up for sale. Most folks feel, if...

I've owned the JOR for 3 yrs now and am happy with it, for the most part.System is JOR/Cayin 17/Seas Thor's.So as you can see my digital and speakers both match the Jadis in terms of quality.The Jadis is abit bass shy, but then consider the Thors ...

tyler linbrook signatures vs. b&w 802
I have B&W's and i have Seas Thor, same drivers as Tyler.The B&w's are way over-rated. The Brits do a great hype job, sure sold me. The Seas' drivers are the most natural sounding drivers in the world. A friend of mine has the 802's. I cou...

Cayin CDT 15A Tube CD Player. Advice Needed
