| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @mheinze Maybe you should read these threads a lot better than you do...before you tell anyone that they know nothing about the speaker! If you did this, MAYBE you would have read this from member easy_h:"I got mine about a month now. My Bryston 7... | |

| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @mheinze Please explain how me hearing the A5 will change its requirement for a monster power amp upstream???I have heard the A3, nothing special at all IMHO.The A5 may very well be a totally different sounding speaker, I sure hope it is, but the ... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! How many folk have bought a high and speaker for some serious coin and then realized that it takes a monster power amp to even get them to sound! If the A5's are a brutal load and need a ton of amp power upstream, how many folk will still consider... | |
| Replacement Amp For Audio Research Classic 60 The OP is correct, the D115 Mk 2 is a nightmare to bias. I used to own, and love, a D70Mk2...which is what I think the Classic 60 is based on, the D70mk2 is a stupendous sounding amp, BUT the biasing scheme was best left to a tech and really could... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc The new Jadis JA30Mk2 amps really do respond well to tube rolling in the driver stages. I rolled in NOS Telefunken smooth plate 12Au7's and NOS Siemens 12AX7's, a great match up for this amp.I have now gone through a number of different ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Once again, some great advice from Charles1dad! More than likely with the 300B Jadis amp, one is looking for a horn type of speaker. This aspect is another reason why i have never been that enamored of 300B type amps..and not because I don’t think... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. @russashe Thanks for the suggestion. I applied Gruv Glide to the album in question and this helped a little, i will re-clean it again, this time using a wet vacuum system. I am afraid that the damage to the groove is permanent though, we shall see. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? The JA30Mk2's with the Franco Serblin Accordo's would probably be a great match up. Agree 100% with the post above by charles1dad. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc Like Charles1dad just stated, the Sony SS AR1 is not that efficient a speaker, if you are even considering that the JA30Mk2 won’t be enough power for them, then the SE 300B will only lead to one thing...Major disappointment! Matching the ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Indeed, Jadis does make beautiful sounding and emotionally engaging amplifiers. To that, I think their build quality is basically second to none.IMO, if one is looking for a tube based amp, then these need to be on anyone's short list. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Got it. I'm not really a fan of 300B single ended amps. Not because I don't think they sound good, but more because they are so very limiting as to the speakers that you can match them to. Plus, I think in many cases the 300B tube is more suscepti... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc Congratulations on becoming a new JA30Mk2 owner. The amps do need a little run in before they can show their full potential, like all new gear. I would also suggest, like the manual states that you don’t listen that carefully until about ... | |
| Table and arm combos in 13k range @mijostyn Once again more inaccurate posts from you-- when you stated this.." I do not recommend the Linn LP12 because it's (?) suspension was poorly designed and it is not stable"...where are you getting this from???? | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables @silversmith Thanks again, Jeff. I noted that my friend Winston has posted on your blog. The fact that Winston feels very highly about these cables says a great deal for them, IMO. I am also amazed that another user gave up a pair of Nordost Valha... |
