| Tubes? take any 70 watt ss amp vs my Jadis Defy 70 watter,, HA!, shootout at OK Coral,, ss pants shot down before he even had a chance to make his draw. | |
| Tubes? recommend 95dB or higher. This alone will solve all your problems as going from 85dB to 95dB drops your power requirement by TEN TIMES! You can go from using all 300 watts and wishing you had more to being happy as a clam with a 30 watt tube amp... | |
| Tubes? Do not be so concerned with wattage, a good hefty 50 lb tube amp will drive mosr mid sized low eff(89db/lower) speakers, @ 50 lbs, (push pull, not SET), you'll have good trans to push the Revels.So you will need a tube amp that delivers at least ... | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again i hate, despise remotes, sorry can't help.My cayin cd player has a remote, never once used it in 18 years. | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers PS: My second pet peeve are reviewers who hear "revealing" and very colored speakers and call them "neutral" when they are clearly not. There is a $500K(give or take $100K) Jadis set up for sale on Audiogon, You could take that $500K system ... | |
| Audio research Ref.3 vs Primaluna Dialogue premium preamp Ok, After fighting with myself for five minutes over whether or not I should say this....; The last units which I saw. "Just after unboxing". They all had a (definite), "Toys-R-Us" quality to them. No, PL is made at the Spark labs,, which mak... | |
| Audio research Ref.3 vs Primaluna Dialogue premium preamp Don't get me wrong. The Primaluna unit is very nice. But, it isn't on the same level with the REF 3. A used PL newer model's for $2200 vs used AR Ref3, about $3500.Something to consider. | |
| Line Stage Preamplifiers AX vs AU I was told that a 12BH7 can be used as a replacement for a 12AU7. Is that true? I've read notes about this compare, So I boughta bunch of 12BH7's, and none stood up to Tele 12AU7 as far as sonics, sound stage etc. | |
| Line Stage Preamplifiers AX vs AU You might want to hear what a 6SN7 does for a line stage I’ve seen this pretube in a few of cayin/Line magentic integrated designs,,, nice looking tube for sure,,, 20 mu factor = niceeee.Thing is I love the Tele AU,,and the Jadis Dpl has now 3 AU’... | |
| Audio research Ref.3 vs Primaluna Dialogue premium preamp Just looked over some specs of the AR3, db gain 11, thats much lower than Cayin's 15, = huge points there. and I love the variety of tubes in the AR..If you get the AR3, ship it to Richard Gray and have him upgrade with my Mundorf Silvergold EVO O... | |
| Audio research Ref.3 vs Primaluna Dialogue premium preamp I had a PL Dialogue Premium , honestly, yes to be fair,, I really did not give it enough time to review,, all I know is that I prefered my Chinese Jadis Clone LS9 with 3 12AT7 stages of amplification, and with Mundorf EVO OIl Silver caps,, The PL... | |
