| New Jays Audio flagship cd transport New distributor is just Alvin's business partner through a separate entity. If you read the info in the link Marvin provided you can see for yourself the differences. The CD mechanism itself is now selling in the $1k range. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread And that is the difference between the two combos. When you are matching tube preamps with amps and speakers you have to take into account the total gain of the combo or you will get hiss. If you have to get to that close a distance to hear it the... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Depending on the input sensitivity/gain of the Cherry amps with the 18db gain of the Sachs and the 91db efficiency of your speakers what you are hearing is normal. Especially if the input sensitivity of the amp is under 2 volts. | |
| audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert @gwng8 Congrats good choice. | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question Andy's got a 70's Sylvania that he likes that's the same price as the Matsushita so if you want to try two to see if you hear a difference you could buy those two for less than the price of one Blackburn Mullard. Be warned though that Andy is way... | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question All Kevin's showing for sale are the four Russian new production brands which are pretty much the same tube with different labels and boxes. For NOS 5AR4's that work and may outlast you call Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Don't waste your effort ... | |

| Best cheap $200 ish speaker stands with free shipping ??? Look at the Monolith or VTI stands. | |
| Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich @smodtactical Based on your original post Fyne's not the direction you want to go in. And as to which is the better speaker that's debatable period but not in this situation. Maybe he has more margin in the Fyne and since you haven't moved on ... | |

As the North American distributor always preferred to show them with Blue Circle hybrid gear you combo o... | |
| Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich @smodtactical Is your dealer not local so you can go listen to the JMR's? | |
| QLN Speakers anyone @kingofgix The guys at Part Time Audiophile have reviewed the 1's, 3's and 5's so you might want to check out what they thought and what they drove them with. Dave McNair comfortably drove the 3's with a Qualiton tube amp and the Van Alstine... |
