| Jadis Owner's Manual & Modifications I may have an owner's manual, but no schematic. About a year ago I had the piece modified by Great Northern Sound. The improvements have been dramatic, especially in frequency extension. I have always appreciated the liquidity of this piece, but I... | |
| New Van Morrison disc I agree, Wildoats. This album is very entertaining. No need to compare...just an album I can listen to again and again. | |
| Reducing room TEMP. when using tube equipment. If you can afford it, split a/c systems are available without the neccesity for ductwork. A handfull of manufacturers out there with efficient units. Email if you need additional info. | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? As most posters have concluded, attaining a "live" reproduction is improbable. The attack, air movement, delicacy, etc. is something I have never heard fully replicated. The system I presently own is most musical with a good deal of detail, and ye... | |
| New Foo Fighters Release Anyone? Buy the vinyl in, as all vinyl is, limited release. I just bought it...have not listened; received an additional single not on the cd release. The box is very well put together and no copy protection issues. | |
| HELP Turning off the Left Brain Jayboard's recommendation of live music may curtail the sin. Unless, of course, you're checking out the imaging and bass definition at the live show. My experience has fluctuated in and out of listening to the components, as opposed to the music. ... | |
| Tubes with Magnepan Atma-Sphere I haven't heard the A-S with Magnepans, but I have with other speakers. No recollection of bass shyness. The A-S are purported to have some of the better bottom end, especially when comparing to other tube designs. | |
| CAT JL2 & Pre SL1 or Atma-Sphere MA-1 & MP-1 What speakers will you be driving? | |
| Can you have a huge 3D soundstage in a small room? I have similar dimensions, but have the speakers situated on the 13 foot wall. The imaging is often outside of the speaker, given the material, of course, and the depth of soundstage is very good. I attempted placement similar to yours, but found ... | |
| FIM GOLD I recently replaced Black Diamond cones with Pros. Many months prior I pulled the Aurios due to a "metallic" sound. Now, with other electronics the Aurios have added depth to soundstage and I find this system more involving and musical. The FIM's ... | |
| FIM GOLD So far I find this cable, especially power cords, to be a bit on the "golden side", but within my system just slightly so. Very revealing and compared to Siltech gold, Kharma, NBS monitor, Purist, and some other selected cords FIM's are the most m... | |
| Preamp with near-reference quality built in phono? As all of the components listed above can be very good to excellent, do not disregard the importance of synergy. I feel like I am beating a dead horse, but due to my many upgrade experiences, one piece of equipment may sound glorious within a spec... | |
| Lamm M 1.2 against Tenor 300 and Boulder 2060 Mr. Raul, I am left confused by your comments. I know little about the physics of tube and solid state devices, but does not current run through every component within a piece of equipment? And if so, does not each component, whether it be a capac... | |
| Which Tube Amps To Use With Genesis Speakers? I had the Jadis JA-200s with Gensis 200s and 1.5. Since the woofer towers were servoed, the amps had plenty of power and musicality. I would think the Convergent amps would also work very well. You might audition an OTL design, such as Atma-Sphere... | |
| Tube amp for Avalon Eidolon ? I agree with the previous posts regarding Atma-Sphere/Eidelon synergy. Works well in my system, but the front end, including my preamp is very musical. Ample power to drive the hugry Eidelons. I have heard great things of the Joule OTLs. The CAT m... |
