Can anyone help me biasing a Jadis Defy 7?
Almarg, it is a truly great amp and one of the best I've ever heard. Biasing is a pain but the sound is worth it.Wendell 
Setting VPI JMW 10.5i
The manual could be better. Once you get the hang of setting the various parameters, it is pretty easy. Take your time and you'll get it.Wendell 
Ever check the Wanteds?
Recently I saw a wanted for a preamp that I happened to own. I hadn't planned on selling but I contacted the poster. We ended up making a deal. So, from my limited experience, they do work.Wendell

Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
Madfloyd, I meant the Sophia 2. To my ears, the Sasha goes deeper and has more extended highs. I heard no glare but I haven't heard glare in the Sophia 2. Sorry for the confusion.Wendell 
60 watt Rogue Tubes for Vandersteen 3A Signatures
"stay away from tubes for this speaker"Agreed. With the exception of the Jadis Defy 7 I never heard a tube amp bring out the strengths of the 3A better than quality solidstate.Wendell 
Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
I spent three hours listening to the Sasha this past Saturday.They were in an excellent room (friend's house) driven by Macelectronics. Sources were TW Acoustics Raven/Graham Phantom/Dynavector XX and Musical Fidelity A5. These are great speakers ...
