Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2


Why part 2?
Because she sings now, why?
Just arrived
Shugaung 12AX7T's from HK, dealer Douk audio,
WOWWW, unreal, IMHO no other 12AX7 comes even close to these Shugaung T's,. I mean this Defy in spite of the cheap chinese mock  Jadis 200 pre, the Defy has come to a  glorious resolution. 
I had no idea the front tubes were so so vital toa  sound ofa  tube amp.
I am using new Psvane's 12AU7 in the front, 4 12AX7T's just behind.
UNREAL. 



I will makea  YT vid today, and post it, and try to post a  link here.

I put my bet on these Shugaung 12AX7T's in a  shootout with every NOS EU 12AX7, any and all ina  shootout,
in 5 seconds or LESS the Shugaung would blow the entire bunch of  Siemens, Tele, Amperex, Mullards, all with ONE SHOT, .
These Shu are the quickest , most accurate, gun shooter in the west.

Here is my latest YT  upload,, sorry for the carrpy mic system, which does no justice to the  wonderous neutrality and dynamics of the SEAS Thor speakers.
Voice is nearly life like (will be superior once added a  new preamp + new xovers)
The thing i have been after these 40+ yrs  in all things audio is ,,Neutrality~dynamics~~ and most of all ~~~Non Fatiguing~~
I'd say the Thor's , ona  scale of 1- 100, receive a 100  score. Bass 100, mids 100, high fq's 100.

Ok here is m latest vid showing the mods completed in the Defy. 
Its hard to say how much sonic gaisn have been made, not until i get a  superior preamp. 
But I can say we installed caron Film resistors as last mod,,and i had a  gut feeling some of the fidelity that was present  with the original metal resistors ,,was ~~deleted~~~ so I called andy, and suggested the TAKMAN metal resistors which we ordered and had sitting in his shop, to replace the carbon film.
and sure enough the amp 's sound was improved,,, Caron film tends to smooth out, but whats that? = loss of dynamics. 
IMHO Metal resistors are superior to carbon..so when I get the cayin SC6 which Cayin boasts has Takman carbon res,,its very liekly i will swap those out for Takman Metal. I realize what cayin went with Takman carbon,, as audiophiles perfera  smooth, **warm** voicing,, whereas I much perfer  a  dynamic sound,,which may strike some as analytical =*cold*,,but thats my preference. No doubt thats why cayin chose carbon over the metal. 
No big deal, the cayin SC6 has point to point wiring, so  the  mod should be a  breeze to make.
