Snell J-III Question
The jumpers are needed unless you are using biwire speaker cables. 
Is buying from the Ciamara.com safe
How else would you want to contact them besides phone and email? 
When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
salectric I actually looked at your system page after I posted that and they are indeed different yours are a much lighter shade of wood, cherry perhaps. The speakers I saw were dark brown maybe even black and with different grills. I am sure your... 
Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?
Also looking to redbook pretty much exclusively both my own ripped cd's and tidal streaming. Running my streamer into an Audio Note Dac-3 Signature super musical! 
When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
@salectric very cool! I listed to a pair of newly completed open baffle custom speakers at Deja Vu about a month ago might they have been yours? If so amazing speakers and if not well any speakers Vu builds are amazing! Enjoy! 
When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
@hifiman5 well it was 8-12 so the clock is ticking down and they come all the way from the UK so it does take time. I have speakers in the meantime so I am getting by! 
When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
Just ordered new speakers for the first time in 10 years! A pair of Audio Note AN/Jlx's in Olive wood veneer! Got them through Deja Vu Audio they should be here in another 7-10 weeks! 
Best integrated amp for Marten Miles 5
You're talking about some very high end diverse integrated amps, will you have a chance to audition any or all of them? That Diablo sure is some eye candy btw!

Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Nice speaking of which caught The Gil Evans Project doing the 60th anniversary of Miles Ahead at the Jazz Standard in NYC over Memorial Day weekend a really great show. My first live jazz in sometime I'm embarrassed to say. 
Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Charles agreed all the way around and also don't sleep on DHT pushpull amps! Two of the best I've heard an integrated pp 2a3 amp from Cary, I loved it but the gf said it was too bright, and a pp 45 amp from Deja Vu. Both wonderful sounding and a g... 
Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Charles that's interesting I went the opposite way with power tubes.  After having Cary 300B monos blow a WE 300B reissue tube after about 100 hours and later having a KR Audio amp blow a low hours 842 tube I swore I was done with amps that use ex... 
Tidal free trial subscription
Again I understand that there is a 30 day free trial period. But again before it was over you signed up for a 6 month subscription, ending the trial. It also begs the question why didn't you investigate the artists you were interested before you m... 
Tidal free trial subscription
So not getting into Spotify vs Tidal, I am a happy Tidal user myself, the issue with the 30 free trial and not getting a refund makes sense to me. Essentially once you sign up for the paid service your 30 day free trial has ended, so I understand ... 
Best Vintage Dac??
Ha my DAC was built in 95 I guess that makes it vintage. Sounds great to me and not going anywhere. AN DAC-3 Signature if you can find one.
