| What happened to CAT? I am a new CAT owner so just trying to find an amplifier to drive my Gamut RS7i speakers that favors there dynamics while remaining convincingly musical. I cannot live without tubes.I think I found that amp. hopefully in the CAT JL5. I say hopeful... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Hi Charles:Thanks for the inquiry. Yes I owned the stereo version of their amps......the D200i latest version. I sold it because tubes belong here and SS gear is not as exciting to me.I also heard the speakers with the Gamut 250i monoblocks.......... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Very interesting find indeed. It is a strange hobby that way. This CAT JL5 amp. is rated at 120 per channel into 8/4 ohms. Does not mean much however with the transformers on this amp. The beauty of it is the first 60 WPC is in Class A and then t... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Davey:Thanks for the recommend. The JL5 I have is not broke in but it has startling dynamics, speed and contrast....similar to live music. It is the first time since owning the Gamut speakers that I now understand what I heard when I first heard t... | |
| What happened to CAT? CAT is alive and well....always has been just no marketing concerns with business at hand. Telephone 585-359-2700. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Hi Davey:When I was in Denver auditioning the JL5 against some other contenders I also heard it with the CAT SL-1 preamp. OMG was that good a pairing to die for.It will be a goal of mine to get one with some options. I have to let Wally the Wallet... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Davey:I want to be clear the air about me raving about the JA 30ll and then selling them to Davey and now hearing his opinion.I loved the Jadis elegant sound as well and I think you are finding my description as I posted accurate.I sold the amps. ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? DaveyfI am glad you have found beauty in the Jadis JA30ll amplifiers. As I stated in this post prior those amplifiers bring as much emotion as any amplifier I have ever used in my 40 years of listening and I have owned quite a few marvelous creati... | |
| New KT150 tubes? I own a Jadis JA30 MK ll designed to use the KT150. No they are not a drop in replacement of the KT120 as they draw more current. Jadis gives the option to drop down to the family of KT120, 6550, EL34, etc. with a small DIY mod. inside the amp. Ju... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers DougI suppose it does become relative to the investment and long-term goals as to traveling for research. My 1000 mile round trip cost me no more than $250 (fuel, food, and an overnight stay). What I learn from the trips I have taken for two long-... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers I bought my pair of Gamut RS7i's from Kyomi Audio in Chicago after a visit to George's in home demo site. This was a 500 mile drive out and back for me but the only way to go IMO. George understands quality sound (as a World renowned Concert Piani... | |
| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? Greg Roberts of Volti is a straight shooter....tells the facts. Likewise Gary Dews of Border Patrol mirrors likewise. I have never heard the speakers outside a Hotel room but they put you at the performance in those crappy rooms so my guess it get... | |
| Journey ending speakers Gentleman: Don't forget the cabinet construction in your discussion. It is not just drivers that end up in the sound. I owned the Edgarhorn Titan horn system with Seismic Subwoofer for 13 years and it had very vintage drivers which I considered su... | |
| Journey ending speakers I have worked hard through the years and listened/owned some great speakers. Those included Vandersteen 3a, Magnepan MGllla, Magnapan Tympani IVa, Dunlavy SCV, ESP Concert Grand, Avantgarde Duo 3.2, Edgarhorn Titan II, Living Voice OBX-RW. Some I ... | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard Some above already mentioned I also like and agree with I don't think anyone has commented on Gino Vannnelli "Powerful People" MFSL Half Speed Mastering on Japanese vinyl. |
