| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? So, Pierre, inquiring minds WANT to know. Aside from the press release, is there a dealership potentially on the way in the NYC, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware area in the near term??? | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? Not to be a contrarian, but I have heard several Lowthers, and was quite smitten with the sound. It is much better than I expected; "sounds" more full range than it measures. The sense of being alive was almost shocking. These speakers had so much... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? With all due respect gentleman, I think my statement about Jadis falling off the map in North America rings true in answering your questions. While I have not yet heard the EE Minimax, I hear it is a good budget component. I have heard most of the... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Pierre, thank you for the clarification.As you can see, Russ (Rcprince) and I are two of the bigger fans of Jadis here on Audiogon. Will you be reestablishing a dealer network in the USA? And, if so, we are in the Northeast (he in NYC and me in Ph... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Fernando, not Jadis related, but if we are talking of biasing in general, I have always found that my preference is strongly towards running tubes at the higher end of a manufacturer's biasing recommendations. To my ears, the sound takes on a warm... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Denis, I am so happy to hear that the sound is coming around for you as the tubes break in. Yes, the Jadis sound is incredible. Again, it is a crying shame that the brand has fallen off the face of the world in North America. Obviously, I feel tha... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Flg2001, the DA5 is not autobias? I always thought that outside of the Orchestra and Orchestra Reference were autobias. Although, I may know what you are talking about. I used to read that the JA200 had some kind of adjustment for "bias" on the tr... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? I just dusted off and retubed my Jadis Orchestra Reference two weeks ago with a quad of JJ E34L tubes. The stock tubes are Ei KT90.Oh my goodness! With the front end and cables that I didn't have a few years ago, the sound through my Coincidents w... | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing This is the one and only experience I have had in listening to a player where you could choose to upsample or not, so take it with a grain of salt...After we went to a Friday Night Cruise Night in Sommerville, NJ in Bill LeGall's Packard this past... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Twl, like most of us, you are coming from a voltage source mindset. Just about all of us think in this manner. That is the way of audio. A current source is a WHOLE different ballgame. I have heard stories of people building low watt amplifiers th... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Tim, thank you for the information!I don't think you are a good candidate for the amp, with your VR DB99 loudspeakers. I would be more than interested to hear if anyone with a brutally difficult loudspeaker load, such as the just about dead short ... | |
| What makes a speaker perform well at low volume? I think Cinematic_systems is right on!!! He gets my vote for Post Of The Year.I almost NEVER hear audiophiles discuss the Fletcher - Munson Curve, and it is why I feel just about all systems have nothing for me at lower volumes. I don't feel the m... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Interesting design!If it is a current source, rather than a voltage source, perhaps some Apogee users might find a good amplifier there. Maybe it won't melt like most amplifiers out there.Conversely, most more "traditional" speakers might sound od... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Tvad, I'm glad someone else "feels" that song. It's truly why I am involved in the high end. The equipment is merely the means to get there; secondary to the music.I really want to thank Denis (Springbok10) for the opportunity of getting to know h... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two Kevin, I want to personally thank you for your input in this thread. I was quite curious about the ability of the larger amp to accept EL34 tubes, and you answered my questions. Normally, the bigger tube (6550/KT88) amps will take the smaller EL34... |
