Tubes for base
Did you try upgrading your power chords to improve your base? 
RIP J Gordon Holt
Very sad news. Following the link provided Daverz shows how far things have fallen. Stereophile itself seems to be exactly what he created it in response to. 
Jadis DA 60 Integrated
Thanks for the clarification, Fernando.As I put in my first post, I hear the same thing you did in the DA50S versus DA88S comparison in my DA30 versus DA60. The DA30 does sound more sweet and probably more natural, though for the reasons I already... 
Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud
Your query seems tailor made for the Merlin VSM. 
Jadis DA 60 Integrated
Flg2001, where are you getting your information about the DA60 operating in Class A/B?Jadis has always advertised the DA30 and DA60 as operating in pure Class A. The power consumption figures are listed as being the same as their respective counte... 
How important are the Speaker Cabinets?
For what it's worth Shadorne, in this thread, you and I seem to be completely of the same mind. 
SCHEMATIC for Sophia S.E.T. EL-34 amp
Will, I might be able to get this for you via an alternate path (i.e., the amp built under a different moniker).Please give me a couple of days, I'll get in touch with a friend of mine who handles them.

Facten, I apologize for giving the impression that you were skeptical.My own speakers are pretty efficient, they're older Coincidents. That being said, it helps to have some power to get the 10" woofers not just playing, but flapping around and pu...

Forget about the 60 wpc rating. In fact, it will also easily eclipse those figures running EL34 output tubes. As the literature says, the numbers are incredibly conservative. Think of the traditional Rolls Royce answer in regards to their horsepow... 
How important are the Speaker Cabinets?
Mechans (The Doctor) is a unique and brilliant person, as well as being a close friend of mine. He does have a few personal things going on, but I feel he's capable of expressing himself well enough even if I wish there were some paragraph breaks ... 
old cdp that hangs with new ones
A lot of people out there feel the Sonic Frontiers stuff is still right up there.For me, a long time ago, I was with the two local guys who were building the Timbre DAC, and I have to say at the time it was the first digital piece I'd encountered ... 
Top notch speakers with their own sub
Listened to the new Wilson Sasha last week, which replaces the WATT/Puppy. Definitely one of the finest loudspeakers I've encountered, and people who have gotten to know me here know that I've not mentioned Wilson more than a couple of times previ...

They found out Mercury wasn't his real last name. It was Uranus. 
Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp
Agreed, Stevehuff1, very good comparison. Thank you!Stupid questions, but I need to ask... Are you accounting for the inverting of phase for both versions, and are you sure the latter iteration still inverts? 
speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve
Thanks for laying things out so well, Duke. I will fire off an e-mail in the near term. Anyway, we're way past due on sharing an e-mail or three.Lou, I think your statement about being able to design a smooth impedance into the loudspeaker is a ve...
