| High on Thier List, But Low on Yours Wow, what a compliment Retroguy. Thank you. Nice to know we have parallel tastes in some areas. I would also be interested in hearing your list of equipment you're high on. | |
| Levinson in Lexus How much does it cost? I know the answer, "If you have to ask...". But since I will not be buying a Lexus anyway, I am curious. I went to hear the Subaru Outback, using the McIntosh stereo, but they did not have any in stock. Just the LL Bean Edit... | |
| Power Cables?!?! They are still around. At least for selling things... They auction stuff off here on Audiogon. You might try to get to them via that dealer. I once bought a silver cable via auction here. Everything was OK, I posted a positve feedback about a guy ... | |
| SS vs Tube: What do you hear? I am in complete agreement with everything you have said in your last two posts Garfish. SS is normally better to most people for bass. Tubes for the rest. Like you stated, ss amps try to sound "tubelike" for mids/highs, and tubes would love to so... | |
| Jadis Fidelity If anyone wants to get a glimpse of what a Jadis is all about, please check out the preamp in the feature auction on the Audiogon home page. My amp features cosmetics along these lines. Stainless steel and 24k gold plated brass on the faceplate. T... | |
| High on Thier List, But Low on Yours Hello John_l. I should rethink what I have said about AR preamps. I actually had one. I liked it. I am OK with them. Still wouldn't buy one of the power amps. That's when I go solid state. Sunfire, Jeff Rowland, Musical Fidelity, and Electrocompan... | |
| Cambridge Audio D500SE CD player Miked, I am saying that in my opinion, the sound is at least as good(to me, better) than the original Planet. My dealer carries NAD, Jolida, Cambridge, Rega, and Electrocompaniet. He told me to forget about the new Rega, in favor of this new Cambr... | |
| MIT bashed, not Transparent, why? I think it is because of the market presence of MIT(all the way down to mass - fi stores). Familiarity breeding contempt. On a smaller scale, a similar thing happened with StraightWire and WireWorld. The market being saturated with the original br... | |
| Cambridge Audio D500SE CD player I have tried a SACD only disc in the Cambridge, and it DOES NOT PLAY SACDs! I was pretty sure this was the case, but needed proof. My dealer's insistence on its SACD capability I am sure was based on dual layer discs. It seems that the companies o... | |
| Jadis Fidelity Cwlondon, I looked at A LOT of products before purchasing my Jadis. Long before that, I came to the conclusion that tubes just sounded more real to me than solid state. And, despite what most say, I find it cheaper to go the tube route. Many of th... | |
| Jadis Fidelity Thanks to all who have posted with help on keeping a Jadis looking new. Hello Rcprince! I have not yet experimented with putting a clear coat on the faceplate, but have thought about it since day one. In one of my e-mails from Jadis, they told me ... | |
| Class Action Suit against UPS? Excellent points, Sedond. | |
| Jadis Fidelity Detlof, have you noticed any damage to the gold finish with the silver polish? My dealer used Maas(supposedly excellent) cleaner on my amp(said Jadis recommended it), and there is some wearing of the gold. I have been searching for a good way to c... | |
| Jadis Fidelity I am not sure how much that amp will fetch, but I do know it probably sounds wonderful. There are probably buyers. As far as your other questions, I think there are several reasons. One being that the Jadis presence in this country for the last fe... | |
| SS vs Tube: What do you hear? I am not sure why we always get so flustered when someone says something that goes against our own philosophies. If Aczel prefers solid state, great. Unfortunately for him, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. That means I can prefer ... |
