| Kimber Palladian PK10 vs PK14? I was surprised at the lack of information on the website. I'd probably call them to ask or visit a dealer and see the cables, but intuitively my guess would be that the PK 10 is 10 gauge wire (better for amps than 14 gauge)and the PK 14 is 14 gau... | |
| Anyone had and trouble with Jadis JP 80 amps Agree with Gmuffley about the high bias and tube failures. The old MO Valve and GEC KT88s lasted well in them, but every 6550 tube I tried started going bad within a year, and EL34s about the same. Too bad I didn't know about the trick with the re... | |
| Anyone had and trouble with Jadis JP 80 amps The tube fuse on the amps blowing is indicative of a bad tube, not of a problem with the amps. I used to have a few go as my tubes grew older or went ballistic. | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? So I guess one "reason not to go for a Caliburn", as you originally asked, is that it costs so much? | |
| Krell or Plinius? I heard a Krell integrated powering some Vienna Acoustics Beethovens a few years ago and was surprised at how good the combination sounded, far better than I would have expected (I was not a fan of that Krell integrated) and something I could easi... | |
| tubes for Jadis JP-200 Mine uses EF86 tubes. Like Ejmac70, over the 20 plus years I've had Jadis preamps I have preferred the sound of Telefunkens in these units, both EF86 tubes in the JP200 and the 12AX7s in my previous JP80MC. I tried Mullard 12AX7s for a while in th... | |

| I need your advice on system for a non-audiophile One thing you could do, if there's one around that you trust, is take her to a brick and mortar dealer that has some entry-level components like the ones mentioned above. That way, you can let her hear for herself and determine if that's the sound... | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Rja, Jason Vieaux also recorded the Albeniz Suite Espanola on a small Cleveland-based label with audiophile aspirations (I'll have to check it when I get home, maybe it's the same label as the recording you're recommending), amazing playing and ex... | |
| I need your advice on system for a non-audiophile I like Tpreaves' suggestion; I had not realized you could get the Image speakers for so low, otherwise I would have suggested the Alphas or Betas from PSB. Only other brand at the entry level I'd suggest would be Marantz, and you might want to get... | |
| tubes for Jadis JP-200 Does it use EF86 tubes or 12AX7s? | |
| Small monitor- made in the states I heard the Vandersteen VLR in John's (Audioconnection's) showroom with a pair of Vandersteen subs. Assuming they will work next to a wall (and John seems to think so from his post) I would highly recommend them. The combination of these speakers ... | |

| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? This is the link to some of the rather, uh, unique products that Higher Fi used to advertize:http://www.higherfi.com/audio_unique/1 | |
| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? I did read the entire Diakom ad. I needed someone to put me in my place, as I deserve to be punished. Gotta hand it to them, they know how to sell a product, whatever it is....The guys from Minnesota, Higher Fi (?), used to run a series of very fu... |
