Nagra Jazz

Hi,
hopefully someone can answer the following Nagra Jazz questions for me. I have been told that there are optional transformers which can be build in the Nagra and have a positive effect on the sound. Has anyone done this? Another question: is there anybody who uses the Jazz in combination with Spectral power amps?
Thank you for your input!
Cheers,
Wim

My Classic amp has plenty of "juice"  I have a big room 25 ft wide, 30 ft long and 12ft ceilings plus a tough speaker load...it's a fantastic amp.

Jfrech...I have seen that XLR connections are standard with the Jazz. Was this also the case with the PLL and was it possible to use XLR without the transformers?

I am really going to give the Classic Amp a listen! Now playing with Spectral 360 mono blocks.

I sold my Ayre MXR's for the Nagra Classic...Maybe that says a bit what I think about the Nagra...

Honestly I don't remember on the XLR's...for the PLL...I think the answer is yes...but the balancing transformers were a option like your Jazz.   Nagra knows what they are doing on transformers...my dealer loves his input/outut transformers on his Jazz.  I just haven't heard it in my home...If you have a balanced source or amp...I think you are best to get this...
