Dac chips until this thread. So thank you for that if nothing else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   . I’ve had the DAC now 9 months. Yesterday was a very wet 100% humidity and cool. I’ve noticed during a rain , next day, DAC needed **drying out time**, ...

One thing I've learned in audio is there's always something better ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEll sure I mean if we bring Kronzilla and Wavac into the discussion, Jadis has to take a distant 2nd place. There are other UK designers also employ... 
Best speakers around $130k?
Go! The Joke is on YOU hahahaha, No such thing as a great sounding 130k speaker,,, too funny.

Curious as to why Mr Jadis did not come up with a  300B PP and also a  2A3 PP design??? *IFFF* thats  a big IF, FR  interest ever does get steam going in its train engine,,, you might also see interest begin flowing into lower power PP designs lik...

Had hoped to upload YET another video. Miles Davis Kind of Blue. DAC has mositure issues, we live 10 ft below sealevel. When the conditions are **right** cool./cold, moisture pouring in from the Gulf, DAC gets cranky, the chips are damp. I now ...

It's about the tubes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you say about the tubes,,,d o you mean rolling might add a nuance or...take away from the sound?? My tech here Richard, mentioned the Mesh plates I;m interested in, might not make, in fact **most likely...

sound comes out. But if you want to hear proper imaging out of them, your head needs to be in a vise so as to be held always in the right position... The box in the image above this post looks as if its ported. Did you do anything to prevent slap...

Now I agree dual FR makes no sense whatsoever, Its a  completely ridiculous idea,,a  single is really all you need. Duals can make confusion in the sound waves,, 2 VC's bouncing off each other all muddy, convoluted, distorted, just a  blob of ,,po...

I also think, using two fullrange drivers in parallel and tweeter (without properly designed filter) works against basic idea of fullrange (a point source of sound.) It makes sound congested and messy and destroys soundstage and focus ~~~~~~~~~~~...

Each of these changes can make a dramatic influence on sound! ~~~~~~~~~~   I  know some audiophiles are not won over on swaping parts. = A cap is a cap is a cap... I am a believer. I prefer Takman Rey metal vs any and all carbon **smoothhhh* r...

really hesitant to make a blanket statement such as yours in the quote above- in a nutshell, its blatantly false. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK grant it, I have not heard a KT type linear SET, nor a EL34 Triode. Perhaps they offer same , even super...

@ Atmasphere   Yes my tech Richard, just wrote  to say 5% as vol gain goes up more distortion,, that 5% goes down as vol gain goes down. I listen at ridiculously low SPL levels, so for me this 5% is no big deal. well yes at full blast evena KT...

@larryi Funny you mention hyper realistic with the 2a3. When I was running 2a3 monoblocks with Omegas I often thought about this particular characteristic of internal luminescence. Mids had the sense of being lit up from within, very unusual, neve...

@mozartfan sometimes the crowd is actually right ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My mantra is Never ever follow the crowd. If I go the wrong road, I tack it up to exp. Otherwise I follow my own course after my Thor upgrade disaster and listening to my ...

to make judgements hastily. But in the end you have to be you. BTW, DHT push pull amplifiers are nothing new, have been around for some time ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   I bought the amp, behind my tech’s back, had he foreknown I’d buy the a...
