| Cleaning tube pins I wiped down my gold plated pins with some 91% isopropyl alcohol tonight. Seemed to clean the pins well enough, we shall see if that also cleans up the sound a little. | |
| Cleaning tube pins For those folks who are suggesting isopropyl alcohol, I presume this is safe to do on a tube pin that can get hot...anyone concerned about that?Presumably the alcohol evaporates enough to not be an issue? | |
| Cleaning tube pins Anybody tried the Zeiss lens wipes? Work great on glass lenses and camera lenses...on gold plated tube pins?? | |
| Cleaning tube pins Interesting. I am concerned that some of these products will leave a film that may not be compatible with the higher potential heat that a tube pin can see. | |
| Cleaning tube pins It is basically dirt and or any other grime. | |
| Jadis ja-200 vs ja500 @taviran I would consider the JA80Mk2. Not going to be a heat engine like the other amps up the line (200 and 500) and will give you the ability to hear the new KT150’s along with auto biasing and enough power to drive your speakers. IME, the best... | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 @mozartfan, A fuse will blow before your transformer gets damaged? (not necessarily!)- the fact that you rolled in a KT150 which a) you couldn't get to bias and b) needs about 600+ volts on the rail..which your transformers were absolutely NOT de... | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 @mozartfan So, in your not so humble opinion..Cayin is superior to Jadis and KT88’s are superior to KT`150’s. Even though you rolled into your Jadis amp the wrong tubes( the KT150's)...and were lucky ( probably due to the extreme build quality) th... | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 I have to really laugh at this thread. Here we have the OP stating that in his Jadis amp, he feels that the new KT150 tubes are a 'flop design' and that they are murky and mushy! Hello, can you say amp/tube mismatch!!!Since the OP's amps were not ... | |
| Subwoofer Question I think a lot of folks make the mistake and assume that all rooms sound the same when it comes to subs. The more subs in the room, IME the easier it is to overload the room....and this really needs to be taken into consideration. Having said that,... | |
| Does this translate? @edcyn Yes, the topic has diverged from my OP...now back to my OP...hopefully. | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm I think the Lyra cartridges get a very bum rap with the folks who are saying they are lean...YES they are lean..IF they are not set up and loaded correctly! ( incorrect set up and loading is how a lot of folks have heard them...and jumped to their... | |
| Does this translate? @edcyn Are you claiming that the review that I referenced that JVS wrote about the Jadis 200Mk2 was based on 'genuine knowledge'...?? | |
| Does this translate? Probably my least favorite reviewer is Jason Victor Serinus...seemingly clueless when it comes to matching equipment and the requirements of each individual piece. Evidenced by his pathetic review of the Jadis JA200Mk2 amps and his brutal load Wil... | |
| Does this translate? @noromance Wouldn't it be 'refreshing' if one of these so called 'reviewers' actually called a spade a spade! Instead we get another ad with no discriminatory listening or opinions. |
