| Jadis Defy 7 MkIV w/ KT 90's tweeks Andy, I compared my Defy 7 Mk I with GE 6550 Tubes and the KT 90. Speakers were Quads, cabling by nordost. The 6550's were nice, images sharp and stable, with the KT 90 as well, but they gave a tad more punch, speed and dynamics. That's the Mark I... | |
| "sandwich" platform for amps Hey Stu, here I thought you could just cook...shows how stupid most of your preconceptions are. Did something similar with lead, felt and mdf and now I'm happily full of shit myself. Cheers | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers Oh come on Trelja, not much point in digging for Djjd's motivation. You give him too much attention. I first thought about responding, that he was comparing pears with apples a tad unfairly and that his irony was heavyhanded..but then I stood back... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Wow, Albert! Thankyou!!! I wished I had so much kindness in my instincts as well ! Cheers, | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers Yes mixed with good seasoning of selfrighteousness. Can't help myself, just didn't like this guy's attitude overly much. | |
| help... No you really don't have to listen for yourself. If you can lay hands on a JA 80, gosh, grab it. Use good KT 88's and if you want more slam, try KT90's. | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Gentlemen, you are not alone. I grab what I can get of copies of LP's which I like or which I feel will be a good investment in time. | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Albert, could you please give me a source for the RR fluid. That would be very kind. Frap, thanks for your suggestion, but its not the drying process, its the bad quality of triple destilled water, which caused the trouble. Albert is quite right t... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Frap, you are quite right: Also my concoction leaves a certain sound signature....only I like it...hence no afterward rinsing. Besides, when I still used to rinse, I must have done something wrong, because even three times destilled H2O caused the... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Lithium impairs hearing acuity Greg, and should only be applied when we go repeatedly on buying sprees and are spending more than we can afford. The mix is about 2% of the molly to the rest of the stuff and I use it with a felt brush on which I ap... | |
| Men/Women/Audiophiles Yes, Carl Jung's Anima and Animus theory right on the dot, from which one is to read the gender difference sort of juxtaposed... Carl understood, that we poor males have tender and complex souls with plenty of knobs on them, whereas the female unc... | |
| Best AES/EBU There is no "best", there's only "best synergy"...for me it happens to be Purist (salve Albert) or XLO Limited. (greetings Adsal) | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Sure, Kubla, but who cares and besides show me another psychopathology with so much fun-potential which is on the safe side of the law. Generally, as Orson Welles used to say, all the good things in life are either illegal, immoral or fattening. C... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Well, my ritual is not unsimilar to Ken's. Every LP side, before being played, is put on the VPI HW 16, dusted off with a Hunt EDA brush and then given a good washing. After that, the surface is treated by a concoction made up of trifluortrichlore... | |
| Stacking power amps mono blocks Thanks for your time and consideration Abstract7. You make very good sense to me. I 'm thinking of following your footsteps and doing something similar.Regards, |
