| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? gwat, yes, they did change the transformers to accomodade kt150. Non kt150 amps come with the exact same new transformer. You can go back and forth between tubes via small modification. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? I will certainly let you know! Just took a delivery on i50, it already managed to warm my heart :). | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? $12500 with KT150 and $11700 with KT88/KT90/KT120/6550. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? We are Jadis dealers in Chicago and have the JA30 mkii with kt150 on order. We will be glad to let you know when they arrive. | |
| Thinking about buying a different tube preamp... I am surprised no one mentioned CAT SL-1, perhaps the most famous and long lived preamp with built in phono. It is also one of the few that can drive any SS amp due to it's 100 ohm output impedance. The latest and greatest incarnation is called Re... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? There was a hope during the pinnacle of ladder DACs such as PCM63P-K and AD1865. Hi-end industry ruined it with the race for higher sampling rates. The soul was lost in translation. | |
| MBL 101e mk 2 Speaker Owners? We always use CAT mono amps with Mbl 101 mkii. In fact, they were shown at CES at the CAT room couple of years ago. On another hand, I have heard some 300 watt tube amps sound flimsy with MBL. It is not that they could not play them loud, they sim... | |
| Jadis Orchestra vs Jadis i 35 The i35 runs in full class A and in a totally different league. It is a true Jadis with no compromises. It is also more powerful with kt120 tubes. | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp The most important aspect to consider is the output impedance of a tube preamp. The lower it is , the better it is going to drive SS amps. One of the very few preamps that can drive ANY SS amp is CAT. It has the same 100ohm output impedance as the... | |
| Do Mono Block amps provide better sound ?? One of the the biggest advantages of mono amps is that you can run longer interconnects and the shortest possible speaker cables, where the signal loss is significantly higher. It is simple physics. | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... May I ask how did you choose your equipment? | |
| extrema with 2 pcs of mcintosh mc275 No, it is not. Unless you power them with monstrous tube amps, I would go solid state (powerful one). | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? Atmasphere - so do I :) | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? Chadeffect - would you please share with us which preamps among the ones you tried "dumbed your CD collection?" I agree that a preamp has to be amazing to match the transparency of DCS plugged in direct. However, in our experience, preamps like th... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? It all depends on the input impedance of the amps - Lamm are 41 Kohm - it should not be a problem driving them direct with DCS. Although, truly great preamps will give you better dynamics and better transient attack, especially on low listening le... |
