| Modifications to integrated tube amp: experiences? I beg your pardon "Clio09". | |
| Modifications to integrated tube amp: experiences? Agree with Cloo09. Andy is a stand-up guy. | |
| Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection.. Der, I had this dark feeling that I was wrong even as I was writing. It's just that...well, you know. | |
| SET with inefficient speakers Anytime speakers are being driven by less than the ideal amount of power, "success" will be pretty subjective. I know people who use SETs (not flea power) to drive speakers that spec like yours, and state that they hear no benefit with additional ... | |
| Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection.. "If you do physically possess the software copy CD, then you are allowed to make copies for "fair use" for personal use by yourself."I don't see the problem. Since they are currently married, they jointly own the cd collection and that ownership s... | |
| Jadis DA 60 Integrated Thank you Flg2001. Not wanting to oversimplify things, but are you saying that the DA60 is the more dynamic of the two while the Da88 is more nuanced and refined? | |
| Jadis DA 60 Integrated I don't want to hijack this thread, but can anyone comment on the differences between the DA60 and the DA88. Both have similar specs. | |
| Jadis musical value? Missioncoonery, Just for clarity, does your assessment apply only to the Orchestra or to all Jadis integrateds? In the later case, is it that they don't make the grade sonically or are there reliability issues? Can you offer some specific concerns? | |
| Jadis musical value? David12, You're right of course. My post was carelessly composed and misrepresents my admiration for the Solista - a truly fine amplifier and, in my opinion, a tremendous bargain for the prices I've seen them offered on Audiogon. | |
| Jadis musical value? Thanks fellas. Currently, I have large cj mono-blocks and would just like to simplify my system. The vintage cj's are very musical but might be just a little too soft. My friend has a nice integrated Viva but I find SETs too restricting - it seems... | |
| SACD sounds worse or CD sounds better or ....? If on the other hand it's genius, accolades are encouraged. | |
| SACD sounds worse or CD sounds better or ....? If this is nonsense, please don't flame me - I'm just throwing it out there. What if your hitting the performance ceiling of some equipment down the line. Before, neither the SACD nor the cd were hitting it but now just the SACD is. | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers In retrospect, I can think of one instance in which it might be fair to charge for an audition: If one is asking a dealer to either order something from a line that he doesn't ordinarily carry or bring in an expensive reference piece from a line h... | |
| Tube Coolers pros and cons I would think that if the cooler is made of a material that conducts heat better than air (which isn't hard to achieve, and brass certainly does), and it fits snugly against the glass, then it should perform like an amplifier heat-sink and cool th... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers On the whole, dealers are their own worst enemies. How many times has it been said on this forum, that putting together a system with all of its components contributing to their full potential, requires a lot more effort than just opening ones wal... |
