| Jadis JA-80: Tubes and speakers. Having not heard your amp specifically generally speaking going to an EL34 tube from a KT-120 will give you a richer warmer sound. However it won't, nor would any tube change, rid you of the bloated mid-bass or lack of dynamics. A higher sensitivi... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I had the experience of buying a succession of used tube amps on Audiogon and taking them to the local dealer, Deja Vu Audio, for various repairs. They were smart enough to always loan me an amp, an amp that always sounded better than the one I br... | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? Hey Uber I've been around just haven't kept up with old threads very much and I guess I let down the streaming tonight thread. :p Happy holidays! | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? I would have to say classical, I listen mostly to jazz but not really that into jazz violin. I like Stephane Grapelli well enough but don't find I listen to his music very often. | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? How is a server that doesn't have storage different from a streamer? All of the above mentioned devices have USB out, I use and love an Aurlic Aries Mini. Updates of the regular Aries mean there are more and more 1st gen devices popping up on the ... | |
| Is there a way to view previous purchase ad/description? In addition to the above often googling a piece of equipment will bring up old Audiogon complete with pics and description. | |

| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? I would definitely say try rolling tubes and can the amp use power tubes besides the KT90s? | |
| Streamer always on? With my Auralic Aries Mini I always sign out of the Lightning DS controller app but leave the device on 24/7 no issues after over a year. | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... +1 David Grisman as an added bonus his stuff is well recorded. Also +1 Rodrigo y Grabiela awesome stuff. I would also add Tony Rice to your list.Bela Fleck as well either with the Flecktones or solo. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline Awesome! Very well written and fun to read and remember women have better hearing than we do. Congratulations on your new analog front end and new room! Sounds like a very nice system and you're blessed with a supportive wife with great ears. Hap... | |
| Audiogon’s transaction fees @saelectric agreed I checked several parts of the site and you cannot see fees without creating a listing. There should be more transparency and info available. | |
| Which of these integrated amps are warm sounding? I would have to say since you can demo the amps don't solicit opinions walk in and audition with an open mind and use your ears. Also you have an Atoll integrated and there is another model on the list, do you think it will sound warmer than what ... | |
