| Parasound JC1 or Spectron Musician 3 se IMO... if thats the choice its a no brainer..Spectron!...Parasound has build issues and run hot as hell | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL my mistake..sorry to step on your educational toes...go ahead with your leason....BTW , she has asked about getting knobs in a previous post..keep up now | |
| Newbie amp help......why? IMO..if your music is acceptable stop right there..its like chasing the audio crack pipe around the room trying to find audio nirvana..the more ya spend ,the more ya spend | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL Damsel...Im not sure what 6sn7 tubes have to do with your Jadis pre(focus guys !)I strongly suggest Mullard 7025 in place of the 12ax7(late 1950s/early 1960s issue)..Higher gain,less strain but still warmth..IMO,Forget that RCA 5751 someone sugges... | |
| GIK Acoustic Treatments I bought OWENS CORNING 703 2" panels off the bay.cut them to size.covered them myself with $22 worth of discount black audio fabric..works as well as anything Ive tried for under $125.00 | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? IMO, I agree with the room size..too large..I had Focal utopias and now on to Dynaudio C4s ..the difference is amazing.. | |
| Genuine Telefunken? A tad off the subject...but try vintage Mullard long plate /square getters if you can find and afford them..the perfect combo for the Jadis pre IMO...Tele tubes sound thin and brittle in that pre compared to these...or the Mullard 7025,more gain b... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? I agree..IMO the room is too laarge for the Focals | |
| Any B&W 802D/800D alternatives looks and sound? IMO ...plenty that sound as good and even more that sound better..but if your into following the crowd and buy for just a name,no | |
| Used Speaker Recommendations Under $5k... Dynaudio and Plinius match well..so does Pass labs IMO which is what im running with my Dyns..Look at the 5.4 (better tweeters than 3.4) | |
| X250.5 or X350 IMO I agree..the 250.5 is the way to go | |
| Jadis DPL Tube Preamplifier Ive owned a Jadis pre for 15 years,new knobs im told are around $250 each from Jadis( and good luck having anyone contact you back through the distributor in Canada) so the best option is to replate.The face plate is very expensive so I would leav... | |
| Tubes vs. SS Mechans..I have to disagree with your statement totally..Runnning a tube pre with solid state power will give you tube magic.I guess it depends on what grade tube pre you are using.It also eleminates the expensive of constant tube replacement in t... | |
| Upgrading Pass Labs X2.5 to new XP-10 Preamp. For me the Pass line in preamps had no attraction,until I heard the XP10..I say go for it..oh,IMO the 250.5 sounds better than the 350.5 but I own neither | |
| Parasound Halo JC2 OK,got it..IMO the 250.5 sounds better than the 350.5..Ive never owned JC1s but a couple friends have had build issues with them so that alone kept me away from any considerations..there are several Euro makers that I would think would be a better... |
