Does your system have jump?


PRAT, slam, musicality, attack, decay. All that is good but does your system have jump? Does it get up and go and take you with it? I think I've found a nice equilibrium again after some dramatic system changes. Nothing is ever as fast as real life. I thought tubes could not do instantaneous but with the way I have things set up, I think it was, as I suspected, in the preamp (a long journey may have now ended for me).
I went from VTL to SFL to Krell to Rowland to CJ to Spectral to CAT to BAT to Pass to Wavac to Ayre to to ML back to BAT and now I am home with Aesthetix. Which components seem to have delivered the largest return on jump for you?

Mt10425, I saw your first post as smug. If that was not your intention, I am sorry for misinterpreting.

But labeling a statement you made as silly is not a personal attack.

Just like if we were conversing in person and I told you you had a booger hanging out of your nose does not necessarily translate to a personal attack either. Or does it?

As for Rsbeck, that's a whole nuther story. The man pops up in every cable thread attempting to sound like some cable authority. Yet, by his own admission, he cannot tell any sonic differences between cables. Go figure.

I don't go looking for him, but if he pops up in a thread I've participated in, rather than engage in meaningful monologue, I now simply ask him what his personal experience is. And of course he never responds to the question. Except in the third person and hypothetically.

-IMO (I'm just as entitled as the next guy to be wrong)
Good morning Stehno-
I'm all for a truce and clarification of any misunderstandings. It seems that when somebody puts a label on someone else's opinion, it's taking a shot at that belief and, intentions aside, putting that belief down. As far as using longevity and experience as a validation for advice, I'm 52 and music listening and audio started for me seriously when I was about 15. So, when I state that the equipment is less important to me than the music, I mean it. Truck, transistor or clock radios, it doesn't matter, although my home systems are preferences. If it doen't make me and my family dance, allow us to sing along or set a mood, then I've got my priorites screwed up because I have to do "serious " listening on "serious" equipment for enjoyment. I always read your posts and usually learn something useful and I expect to continue to do so. I can be serious (reluctanly), but I'm allergic to REALLY serious. ;))
