| Paging all JM Labs Alto Be owners I'll think about it. Thanks for the tips. | |
| Paging all JM Labs Alto Be owners Nice to hear your enthusiasm. I don't think Chapter Audio is available where I live. (Outside the US). | |
| Marantz Esotec SM-1000 amp. Fraud ALert Ebay You should be careful about people hijacking accounts. This happens from time to time on Ebay. Usually they say that you must contact them by an alternative email account. | |
| Paging all JM Labs Alto Be owners Yes, it is an awesome speaker. Currently using Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300, Nu-Vista 3D, Esoteric DV-50S and Purist Audio Design Aqueous Anniversary cabling. I like the punch of the MF gear, but one day would like to see what a Jadis rig would ... | |
| Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE I may decide to finally get a pair of Micros in a year or so to build a second system in my place and if I do, I'm going to pair it with a Jadis integrated. We've discussed this topic here before and I think the Micros would do terrifically with t... | |
| MF Tri Vista or Nu Vista Amp or Pathos Logos I haven't heard the Nu-vista amp but I have the Nu-vista CDP. Still one of the best made in its class. I do own the Tri-Vista amp and it's terrific. I tested a lot of very fine amps in my search, including the McIntosh 6900, the BAT VK-300, Krell ... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Just got these cables. Not yet broken in but pretty incredible on first listens. An XLR to RCA interconnect and speaker cables. Amazing stuff. | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds "Jadis products are best enjoyed by folks who get the emotional end of music, and are less concerned about the way things look on paper or measure."Rereading your post once again, I see you've answered this question already. Thanks. | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds Wow! I'm really, really impressed by the replies here. Thanks Joe and Mr. Bartok for these exceptional details. Joe, I know that specs really don't mean much but I was curious about the fact that the frequency range on the DA-50 is only 20-17k, wh... | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? I think there is some truth in what you say Yuri. Audio listening is entirely "subjective." Why is that? Because the ear is an organ that is the ultimate transmitter to the brain. As long as all potential listening experiences are mediated by such... | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? "Washline: The bottom line is this: Without doing blind A/B testing, your emotions and the fact that you spent big bucks on power cables will influence what you are hearing.A/B testing is not enough."Pretty tough to judge people's ears, yuri. Bett... | |
| Best Integrated for the Money I think the AVI integrated is superb for the price. | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? Well, I supposedly got suckered into buying a 300 dollar multi-tap with RF nodules some time ago after buying some new components and after having plugged the stock power cords into an el-cheapo multi-tap worth about 5-10 bucks. I was also curious... | |
| Starting From Scratch - What would you do? Yes, you should probably begin with the speakers you love and work backward, but that doesn't mean you have to buy the speakers first and then the rest. I found the speaker range that I wanted first, and then I bought my amp. When I finally got th... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? I was searching this exact question last year. I heard a lot of the amps you mention including the McIntosh 6900, the Krell, the BAT, the Levinson. I've heard the Manley Stingray, Jeff Rowland Concentra, and the Gryphon 2100. I finally settled on ... |
