| 2 sextets of KT88s or a matched dozen for Defy7 ? 4est - You are correct about the 4 bias pots, but I did not realize that each pot controlled the different phases on each channel. Very interesting comment that adds a little more light for me. And I also have heard some very positive comments abo... | |
| Preamp for Jadis Defy 7 mk2 recommendations Well... I assumed the JPL would be the perfect mate to my Defy 7, but it is just not the sound I am looking for.Rafael, I wish I could try one out before buying it. I will have to see if there is Joule dealer in the Chicago area. The is a Joule LA... | |
| Preamp for Jadis Defy 7 mk2 recommendations I just installed the Tung Sols and the Rca tubes. System is just warming up, but I can already hear a tremendous difference. I think it will sound ever better after the system warms up for an hour or so.Thanks for the suggestion John. | |
| Preamp for Jadis Defy 7 mk2 recommendations Received the JPL premap yesterday.Look beautiful, but tubes are a little worn out. I called on my Jadis guru, Velo6, and he told me about the Tung Sol 12ax7 and RCA Cleartops that Jadis uses in there show JPL's. I just called Brent Jessee and I wi... | |
| Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo? I put a pair of Mazda 12ax7s's in there last night and it sounds pretty bright to me. Also, the soundstage seems narrow and the detail is disapointing, but it is starting to develop an interesting smoothness in the sound. I think the tubes in this... | |
| Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo? Just check out the EMM Labs dacs.... I bet that sounds awesome. It better for that kind of money. | |
| Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo? I just started rolling a few 12ax7 into it. I know the JPL came in with some worn out tubes. I live near Brent Jesse who I buy my tubes from, so I will be calling him in the morning.Do you mind if I ask which 12ax7 and 12au7 you had the best sound... | |
| Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo? Thanks RC..That is good info on the CD input. I will see what difference it makes on my system.Just out of curiosity, are you running any computer files into your system? | |
| Preamp for Jadis Defy 7 mk2 recommendations Well... it looks like I found a nice little JPL to adopt. I am so excited about finding this treasure. I think that mating my Defy to the JPL should eliminate any synergy problems as far as those 2 components are concerned.I am hoping to have it b... | |
| What is the best DAC under $2000 and why? Just for grins.... try a Valab non over sampling dac you can buy right now on EBAY for $200.I love it and I do not work for Valab or Kevin... I am just a very happy customer.I am still looking for a dac that sounds better in my system. So far the ... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I just asked the new buyer of my Weiss Dac2 what his initial impression was.His email reply was 2 words." It sucks "I really was hoping that he would have had better luck with it than I did.I hope Daniel Weiss gets wind of this. | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I was thinking that my Weiss was a sysnergy problem with the rest of my gear, but I tested it with my wife's McIntosh setup and still could not hear what everyone else claims to hear. I am hoping to test out an Audio Valve component from my dealer... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Hope I'm not too late to chime in on this thread. I just sold a Weiss Dac2 that I owned for just a few weeks that I could not hear what everyone was raving about. I put it in my system and had a few audiophile friends over to let them hopefully he... | |
| Can anyone tell me about Val Labs NOS Dac's? The Valab is a terrific place to start out when getting into music servers. It is a non oversampling dac and sounds extremely good. I actually am selling a Weiss Dac 2 because, to my ears, it does not sound as good in my Jadis Defy 7 MK2 or Jadis ... | |
| Oversampling DAC Vs. Non Oversampling? I think I know what you mean. But I have had the exact opposite experience here with my Valab. I feel that the music is surrounding me and that I am in the middle of it.Mike Kay, from Audio Archon, is on his way here to help me set up the Weiss Da... |
