JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
@stereo5   +1The OP just seems to be on a quest that is his own...with little thought to any of these factors. I am off this thread...total waste of time. 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
@mozartfan  What are you talking about with the 'cheap' connectors on the back of Jadis amps?? Cheap 2 cent brass posts...i don't think so~On the newer Jadis amps, the connectors are superb in all ways. Do you have experience with all of the Jadis... 
Esoteric K-03 / K-01 Leave Power On ?
Leaving a component always on...will ultimately lead to capacitors drying out. Since this fact is always overlooked by manufacturer’s who recommend a component to be always on ( or sitting idle, but connected to power), I thought it would be helpf... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
I think YG's are superb. BUT you had better have a VERY powerful ss amp to drive them. I am not sure that a tube amp with less than 300 watts/ch would suffice. Whereas the OP's current Magico is an easier load. What amp are you using to drive the ... 
Ching Cheng Power Cords
@mofimadness Sorry, no good! Those are NOT blessed by the all knowing, all seeing guru! ....;0) 
Ching Cheng Power Cords
@mechans You buy a Ching Cheng cable by contacting the zen master and asking him to sell you one of his “blessed” versions, lol.Better question though is why would you want to buy one...and waste your money? 
Ching Cheng Power Cords
@keithr My friend bought from his zen master, before he saw the light, lol.Sorry, but the only cable that is veiled, tone sucking and non resolving are the Ching Cheng’s, IMO. If you think the Zen Waves, Nordost and the Black Cat cables are colore... 
Jadis orchestra reference or DA50 for Proac D15?
@mozartfan Have you ever truly compared a Jadis to a Cayin or a Line Magnetic? Kind of like comparing a Ferrari to a Fiat...both are cars and in my example, both are made in Italy, but that’s about where the similarity ends. Same goes for Jadis vs... 
Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers?
I have questioned the original statement on and off for many years. There is no doubt that there is a ton of poorly recorded music out there. I wouldn't think that anyone would disagree with that. However, there is also a lot of very good to excel... 
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
It’s a good thing that they only decided on $27.5k...as some of their dealers were asking for ten times that amount, for the paint job that is~😬 
SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE
@ps  Hope you become a fellow GH owner..good luck with the purchase. 
SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE
@ps The GH’s are not that common on the used market. I believe that whenever they do show up, they usually sell quickly, ( and for very good reason, IMHO). Compared to your Cremona Auditor M’s, I believe you would get a large uptick in SQ...which ... 
SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE
@ps   Let's put it this way, IF you can find a superior sounding speaker to the GH's at the price of $5995- I would jump on that. I don't think that is likely ( maybe even possible). As such, if the GH's you have found are in decent working order ... 
Ching Cheng Power Cords
@douglas_schroeder   LOL, that is very true. The Ching Chengs are being pushed by some self appointed audio guru on another forum, which is why I wanted to listen to them. The net result is what I posted above. BUT, if you wanted a power cord that... 
MoFi Dire Straights ‘Love Over Gold’ lp
Strange that these reissue companies have to resort to playing all of these stupid games. I would have thought that they would have enough business without all of the gamesmanship! Whoever is in charge of their marketing divisions is either a true...
