| Musician vs. audiophile As an ex-pro musician, I can see where your wife is coming from..a lot of highly touted gear isn't that much of a step up over what is used in the pro audio field. However, I happen to think that most musicians tend to discount one thing....that t... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? I have been in the market for a new cartridge for quite some time now. One thing that really annoys me is the huge mark-up the US reps assign to these products. For example, a MSL cartridge can be had in Japan ( country of origin) for slightly les... | |
| Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection? No experience with the Eket, but I am suing the Kallax line...and they are very good for holding multiple LP's. I think the Eket is less sturdy. | |
| Does anybody own a Jeff Rowland Daemon Integrated Amp.? I have heard the Daemon on two different occasions. It is an excellent integrated with some very nice ergonomics. I thought the sound was good, only eclipsed by the various tube amps that I heard at the same events.The sound is also very much of t... | |
| Review: Audio Art IC-3 SE Interconnect I would like to add that I recently acquired a pair of Audio Art Se-1 power cables. These come with the superb Furutech Fi-28(r) connectors. To say that these power cables are absolutely superb would be an understatement! Previously, I had been de... | |
| Transfiguration cartridges. What tube phono stages would you use them with ? A vey good OP. I think one has to be VERY careful matching up an ultra low output cartridge, like the Proteus, with a tube phono stage. I'm not sure if the answers above factor in what is the users typical gain settings, and vis a vis room size, e... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? trelja, I think the Jadis mono blocks have a little more 'punch' than the integrated models. I would think that any of the mono amps ..with the possible exception of the JA15's, would work well on JM labs speakers. Have you heard any of the new Mk... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Guys, what era of Jadis are we talking about here? IMHO, the current mk 2 versions have a different sound than in the past. The new KT150’s are, again IMHO, a lot more revealing and full range than any of the prior tubes that I have heard. When I ... | |
| Need recommendations for inexpensive power cord Frank at Signal does indeed make excellent power cords and cables.i would also highly recommend...particularly if you are using mono blocks, the Art Audio cables and the SE-1 model. A superb power cord that I am now using with my Jadis mono blocks... | |
| Let's talk power cords I am now a VERY BIG fan of the Art Audio Cables. I just added a pair of their SE 1 power cables to my mono block amps....WOW!!These cables are the real deal. Easily besting cables from Synergistic, Pangea and a host of others. The quality of these... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? trelja, Thanks for that. Currently I am utilizing a pair of Siemens 12AU 7 and 12 AX7's...not the standard EH tubes that come stock. I may roll in some Telefunkens or some NOS Mullards ( like I have in my preamp). | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Thanks guys. Last night I had a long listening session..and one that was quite amazing. I managed to add my two REL subs ( after having custom cables built for me by Frank at Signal) and got them dialed in. The result with the new Jadis being powe... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Well, it turns out that the new Jadis JA30Mk2’s are very sensitive to the power cord that one uses..perhaps like most amps. Anyhow, after trying several candidates from various companies, like Synergistic, Cardas, Black Rhodium, Pangea, a Nordost ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Charles, Agree with you 100%. The Jadis do everything you say and more. The Rowland still hits way above its current used price point. In fact, I would be surprised if there were too many current ss amps that are in the $30-50K range that could ea... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Charles, I still believe the Rowland is one heck of an amp. It certainly has a different “flavor” if you will, to the tube amps that I own. However, it depends on your mood. Right now, and after all these years, I am in the mood for more of the ne... |
