| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Thanks, 711 smilin, but with the Jadis, I think I am now set(unless the biasing gets the better of me................)and very happy. Besides which, the Jadis can drive my Proacs with 86 db senistivity, which I don't think the Wavelengths can do. ... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? I have to echo what Trelja said. I am the lucky new owner of Trelja's Jadis Orchestra Reference in a small office sytem. It has run about 160 hours on the new JJ EL 34 tubes and sounds better and better every day. Despite the accompanying equipmen... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Trelja,As the EL34s burn in the sound becomes more liquid, more mellow highs and better soundstaging. Its approaching 150 hours and sounds now like it did from your descriptions. It is one sweet, musical and special amp and I was able to listen lo... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? Gladstone, glad to hear you share my ears:)Thom_y, your post is very perceptive. I believe that the DCC2 is in serious need of tubes. I'm sure one of the modders will have a go if he can get his mitts on one! But who wants to donate his DCC2? Not ... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? By the way, don't let my posts in any way detract from the amazing clarity, finesse, low-level detail and silky richness that the EMM combination imparts to the music. And there's no background noise. Eerily quiet.It's quite stunning. Just more so... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? Jjwa,I've often had equivocal experiences in Audio, where you really have to sit in the sweet-spot and carefully listen for subtle innuendos of timbre, tone, soundstaging and musical impact - of critical analysis to compare components. I've done t... | |

| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? Jjwa,The CDSD didn't change the equation - the 3 transports used were: DV-50, CAL Delta and CDSD.The CDSD did change the sound to a smoother, more silky, incredibly refined, almost Flawless presentation, but it still was measurably, palpably fulle... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? Not in my house, not in my system, unless you consider about 500 hours on the DCC2 not broken in. | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? I have tried the DCC2 alone, into the amps with 3 different transports - it didn't matter which - on all 3 occasions, the DCC2 into the amp, compared with the DCC2 into the tubed preamp was night and day, apples and oranges, not even close to subt... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Well, I ended up with the Jadis, courtesy of Trelja, whom I think, somewhat guiltily, I coerced into selling it, although I doubt that he really wanted to! But he did, and my conversations with him revealed a truly passionate and knowlegeable Audi... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Avguru, as Moderator of this thread, let me ask you a fundamental question: Is it acceptable for Richard Kern to post a statement that basically accuses those who have liked and tout the APL mods as being shills and have, in effect, being bribed t... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Richard Kern's response is the stuff of which dreams are made - Alex's dreams. Nothing fuels the fires of interest, publicity and commercial success like a bit of sniping/outrage - as the success of tabloids tells us - and Mr Kern, in spitting the... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Howard,I received it and replied. You should have received it. Thanks for the heads up! | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Trelja,Who could do the conversion you suggest (and a very appealing one) from a Underwood modded 502B Jolida to KT88 triode operation?By the way, I do run Svetlana KT 88s and Amperex Bugle Boys and NOS Siemens in the driver stages in the 502. I r... |
