| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc Once again, from your description of what you feel is still missing from your Jadis/Sony matchup, IMO you are still hearing a classic amp/speaker mismatch. The Jadis JA30Mk2 has plenty of slam and power with the right speaker. Will the J... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? I dont think a blanket statement like ALL Class D amps are junk really holds much water. BUT, having said that I do agree with the OP that there does seem to be a significant point that he has...and that is that there are reviewer's who seem to fa... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc Color me confused. In one post you state that your JA30mk2 was not a good match to your Sony SS Ar1’s...which I can well believe as the Sony’s have a fairly nasty impedance dip at certain frequencies, now you state that the match was good... | |
| The Linn Karousel bearing. Like most great upgrades, the longer one listens, the more one hears. The Karousel bearing is no exception. Like zavato states above, if you can swing the cost, it should be on your very short list of things to do for your LP12. It is interesting ... | |
| Is this possible? @tablejockey Great assumption, as this is the preamp that he is using, and sure enough, he was unaware of the MM input! Runs the SUT into the MM input...:0) I was seriously thinking that I needed to go back to analog school...not yet, I guess. | |
| Is this possible? Ralph, that is what my impression was. So, I have asked my friend to clarify. He uses a Koetsu Blue Lace Platinum and If I remember a Air Tight SUT, which runs into his Air Tight line stage preamp...but I will confirm. | |
| Audio Research Sold One of the potential issues for all high end buyers in this market is the ongoing viability of the company/manufacturer that they are investing in. Many (most?) of the high end audio companies are really just small potatoes when it comes to produ... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout The shape of the cartridge body should have nothing to do with the tracking of warps or the tracking in general, IF the set up of the tonearm is correct along with the cartridge/tonearm compliance etc, IME. | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Maybe I missed something, but please explain how the shape of a cartridge body has anything to do with its tracking ability? | |
| Chasing down the problem @mijostyn I was wondering about that...how long the repair will last. So far, so good. These toggle switches are still available and I have bought several replacements if needed. It is no easy task to replace them and my tech feels it would be a ... | |
| Subwoofer failure Never had a driver fail in a sub, usually it is the amp module that gives up the ghost. I have had this problem with several of my prior Subs. | |
| Chasing down the problem Thanks again, Ralph. This is pretty much what my tech did when he received the preamp, except he did remove the top and sprayed from behind onto the offending switch. Seems to have solved the issue. When i told Ken that is what was the issue, he w... | |
| Chasing down the problem @atmasphere Thanks Ralph. I did exactly as you recommended and followed this protocol. This is what ultimately lead me to the preamp, but in my case, since the issue was intermittent, and for some reason did not happen to show up when I changed am... | |
| Chasing down the problem @mijostyn If you read the thread, you would see that the Nordost cable was not at fault! Good thing I did not get my soldering iron out...... | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Considering a tube product..basically of any kind, that will be left on 100% of the time and utilized for HT is NOT a great idea, IMHO. To then question the fact that the tubes will age more rapidly than if one where to use a ss piece, seems a lit... |
