| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? @oddiofyl , "KT66 was good, KT88 was better but the Klipsch with EL34 had the best tone"You could say that about many a system...By the way, fellow Quicksilver owner here, their original (and some say best sounding) 8417 amplifier, converted to E... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? @mapman "Have heard Zu Essence I believe several times at shows and never quite floated my boat so far. Might try again."I doubt a company does worse at showing their speakers off than Zu. At shows, they often come off as horrific, and leave so m... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! @howsthefidelity, you’re right about the Mullards. Please give the Shuguang (or Psvane) triple mica 12AX7B aka Silver Dragon a go. At $10, you will absolutely not believe their performance. They easily best the Mullards, and compete with the best ... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! @daveyf, I think you are showing us that you have not actually heard any of the latest Jadis amps. The new KT150 based versions are far more neutral sounding than any of the amps that came before from Jadis. So, while the latest models may not be ... | |
| 2018 exactly what is ‘High End’ audio? I like a lot of what @jmcgrogan2 and @elizabeth put forth.@geoffkait hits the nail right on the head, "high end sound is all about sound, not anything else. Not “solid engineering.” Not blind tests. Not “scientifically valid arguments.” Not cost.... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! As I let my subscription go after a multi-decade run, I went out to buy the current review. I canceled Stereophile and TAS as the reviews leave me cold in comparison to earlier days. But at $9.53 after tax for a single copy, it obviously pays to k... | |
| Tube or Trasistor Presuming the system sits in the same room as the old one did, and that’s a HUGE if... If the room is different, all bets are off. But playing along, two components jump out at me that would possibly lead to what you noticed in a big way:1. Zu lo... | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma @willemj "There have also been subjective evaluations in the shape of blind tests to see if under controled conditions panels of experienced listeners can distinguish properly designed amplifiers from each other (I participated in one). The answer... | |
| Speaker Placement CD @reubent "Lastly, what happens if you are unable to place you speakers in the optimal position due to extenuating circumstances such as WAF (not an issue for me in my man-cave) or finding that the optimal position is right in the middle of your fo... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! Most definitely disheartening, though watching this unfold, not surprising. I for one, feel sad about how things wound up. When such a leader of this sort of entity moves on, the entity itself normally passes along, as well.Jim Thiel sat at the ... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! In an ironic way, this will potentially prove a good review for Jadis.Every month, these magazines feature a half dozen or so components. Rarely does anything happen beyond the company using the review on their website to prove its worth to those ... | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp @gmbt2K, photo of my Jadis DA60 input section sent. Please let me know if you don't receive it... | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp Wondering if you received a response from Jadis?On my DA60, beginning in the center of the amplifier and moving through the RCA jacks out toward the end, the first pair is "TAPE OUT", the next pair is "TAPE IN". Not saying you shouldn't wait for ... | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon While it's nice to have a clean environment, I'm not close to OCD levels. Still, nothing surprises me more than a person asking $6000 in an ad for a component that's covered in a blanket of dust. Especially, when they include a bunch of photos. ... | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? I'll be the outlier here, so far...Had a (nice) guy in my audio club who had a monstrous pair of monoblocks that ran as hot as hades, yet listened at mostly librarian levels. Looked like the guy who own a Ferrari but drives around at 25 mph. Wha... |
