| JADIS DEFY 7 SPIT SPUTTER Jctubes is right, it could be one of a number of things. If it consistently occurs after warmup, it sounds like it could be thermally related. I had a similar problem with my JP80; it was a bad resistor. More likely, it could also be a bad capacit... | |
| Auditioning Audio Gear - The Music Used Since I primarily listen to classical music, there are a few discs I bring--Bernstein-Candide, Reference Recordings for full scale orchestral, dynamics and bass, Handel--Arias for Cuzzoni and Corelli, Concerti Grossi, both with McGeagan and the Ph... | |
| Where do you guys buy replacement tubes? I agree with Deano and 84audio, Andy is my trusted source of all things tubes. You can't go wrong with him. | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement I believe that a dealer has as much right to voice an honest opinion as the rest of us, but it would be relevant to the members reading the post to know that it is a dealer, or for that matter a competing manufacturer. Is there any way that Audiog... | |
| What to do? What to do? Alon I and II (used for the IIs to stay in your price range) sound excellent with Acurus electronics, and I'd recommend you audition them. I took three of my non-audiophile but music loving friends to my dealer to hear various combinations of elec... | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help The Sony sampler, overall, is not that great for showing what SACD can do. If you like their music, try to get the dmp sampler, which has all DSD recordings instead of older analog masters from CBS/Columbia. In addition, check out the must-have SA... | |
| Multi-channel Sony SACD player Tmartinjr's point on mixing equipment is a very good one. A friend of mine is a Telarc recording artist, and told me that while Telarc felt the DSD master tapes of his recordings were superior to their prior equipment, they initially were not happ... | |
| Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables? Markh, I see the 60's were good for you too..... | |
| Static on CD playback? There was a short thread about this a while back that I think is filed under Analog. I had what sounds like a similar problem with my Forsell transport--usually the first disc I would play would have a very loud and frightening static sound, which... | |
| Jumping back into Analog I'll second David on the Basis table. There are a number of good, low-priced tables out there, but as an owner of an older one (the Ovation) I can say that the Basis tables offer high-quality engineering and sound and are not at all fussy once set... | |
| Best CLASSICAL Compact Discs? I'll start you off with two 20th Century music discs, both from Reference Recordings with Oue and the Minnesota Orchestra, Bernstein's Candide and other pieces and Copland's Third Symphony. Quite frankly, anything from Mephisto and Company onwards... | |
| CLASSICAL MUSIC "10 ALL-TIME" AWARDS One of each, huh? I'll try: 1)J.S. Bach--there are many great composers, but this man's works are still the standard for me, and I'm not a big Baroque fan otherwise. 2)too many--Beethoven 7th, Scubert 9th and Brahms 1st and 4th for the 1800s, Shos... | |
| Sony Multi-Disc SACD Onhwy61, first me, then Albert, now you! OK, the jury's still out with Mr. Porter, I'm interested in his ultimate reaction. Your point is excellent on spreading the word. One of my partners, who is not into the high end but does like good sound (a... | |
| Another 2,000 Speaker Question Undertaker4, I was waiting for the electrostat users to show up. You should make a point of listening to your friend's M-L, as the transparency of the midrange may be your cup of tea, and the lack of deep bass may not upset you. Abstract7's cautio... | |
| Another 2,000 Speaker Question Trelja's post is, as usual, on the mark. I'm not the world's most technical guy, but I've had no trouble dealing with my Audio Research and now Jadis tubed equipment since I was weaned from solid state about 12-13 years ago. There is obviously mor... |
