| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K I am really liking the Jolida JD9 I paid $600 for then.......installed Audyn Copper Plus caps. ($90 shipped), NOS Siemens 12 AX7 ($75), threw a good power cord on it and away you go.......challenging many higher $$$$ units. Some say op amp upgrade... | |
| Best interconnect burn-in method Get a cable cooker. They work for burn-in and a recharge of cables when used once a year. I consider them a necessity and not a luxury for top heap audio. Mine recommends 1.5 days to burn in an interconnect using it. Playtime 24 hours after that p... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Tough subject but power cords do make a difference. The truth is everyone's power delivery grid is "different".....with noise, traffic of RFI etc. So to design an integral power supply to fight the catastrophic power grids likely gets to be more t... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Hi Jafant:Ya I am fortunate to own it. Sourcing parts should they be needed is another issue with AA players. I have owned the Capitole, Prestige and the Lafontaine is miles ahead of either. I don't miss my analog rig with this player. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I still like my Lindemann 825 and Audio Aero Lafontaine. Both get to the music in a realistic/emotional way. In other words, they draw you in and just sound right. I am really late at posting this but don't get to the forum party often.I got to he... | |
| ELROD new MASTER SERIES Statement Gold,a true surprise; changes the game considerably I agree with all of you that David is a true gentleman and one of the finest power cord/cable designers of our era. I once owned a full loom of his cords in the Statements, Gold Statements, and a trial run with two Gold Statement X-2's.My only com... | |
| interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference? My two cents:Power cord....you must get the RFI/EFI right from the start otherwise noise will affect the chain of components to never return. I use Stage lll with a wonderful affect. Power supplies via manufacturer vary to a great degree so YMMV. ... | |
| getting into vinyl Hi Jfondell:I recently re-purchased an analog front end to have access to my 500-600 LP's in storage. I got tired of tweaking and the work of analog and only because of the idle music did i get back.I am having decent luck with the Clearaudio Conc... | |
| Jadis bias values and customer service I once owned the JA30 since purchasing the new JA30 MKll. They answered my questions via email I had on tubes within 24 hours about the variety that can be used. This was some 6 months ago. Just saying this contradicts david60 experience. | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? Since this post is fresh I now have just finished my ability to listen to jumpers made of the same cable and running single wires to the speakers. Here is the catch....the bass terminals I am trying a cheaper run made by the same manufacture and t... | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? I will attest to the post of fossda and ithak1969. I have a single run of expensive good sounding wire to my Gamut RS7i speakers. I ran the cheap links sent with the speakers and they severely degraded the sound. I ended up with custom made jumper... | |
| Power cords for Jadis amps I use JPS Aluminata cords on my Jadis JA30mkll and love them. I also have tried the Elrod Gold Statement and still preferred JPS....it is all system dependent. | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Depends on what you want to spend and room size. If it were me after owning the Gamut RS7i (produces clean bass to 22hz) go take a listen to the RS3i monitors if the room is not so huge. These will shock most listeners with their authority and mus... | |
| GamuT S-7 or S-9 speaker According to the distributor an huge leap from M7 to RS7i. Not in the same league as far as the whole musical spectrum. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Hi Charles and Daveyf.:The amp. is special for sure and so is the Gamut preamp as a mate. I also heard the preamp.with the Korneff 45 and Border Patrol 300B. The D3i sounds very relaxed and as natural as tubes. I have owned the EAR 858, VAC Signat... |
