@mozartfan, you asked, so here it goes....I have kinda supported you throughout your journey, but I have to say ( and I do not mean any harm ), that, you are all over the place. Take a deep breath, relax, wait for the Leaf, as you did order it, and see ( hear ) where that combo takes you. You are making it impossible for me to continue reading your thread, as you are " jumpy ". This is not a life or death situation, but I am seeing you as a very uptight individual, concerned over one of the greatest and enjoyable pass times we all share; music, and the listening joy it brings us. As to the others ( you people ) here, who do not like the Chinese products, I do not know what to tell you. This is life. You would rather spend $3500. on a handbag, so be it. Not everyone has that kind of cash, so, good for you folks who do. You likely have no issues with the ridiculous cost of medications the pharma companies are presenting to us, and I hope you people never need them........Everybody....relax.....and ENJOY ! MrD.
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Hi
I hope some of you old pros can help answer my,,well lets say help me figure out how to get my Jadis defy 7 to sing. I purchased the amp used (like new, as the seller had a Jadis JA200 mono blocks laready and the Defy sat quiet, So I bought it in 2008. Months later i purchased a MINGDA tube pre amp, sounded AWEFUL, Not even close to my jadis Orch reference, KT90's EI tubes, that intergrtaed was really all I needed, i made a huge costly mistake selling and buying the DEFY 7, I do believe that w/o a powerful pre, to DRIVE the FQ's into the Defy, the Defy will not respo9nd.
The sound is flat, lifeless, no dynamics, The Orch Refer had HUGE sound stage, bass, GORGEOUS life like mids, nice sweet highs.
I wanted more and bought the Defy,.
I just had the Defy cked in Baton Rouge, had the KT90's brand new EH tuibes biased .
I have a ONKYO preamp arriving next week and am about to buy a Mitshibushi Pre amp,
I have a LITE LS9 , chinese tube preamp, and that pre sounds like the,,no worse than the heftier Ming Da.
This Lite LS9 is suppose to be a copy of the Jadis 200 pre, It weighs only 7 lbs, the trans is light weight.
I get the idea the jadis Defy needs a great hefty powerful prem, which is what folks told me back when i bought it, I did not believe them.
I am low on cash and will list the Defy for $3500 and i will pay shipping.
I will then wait fora great used Jadis intergrated, say a DA50.
But I 1st want to try the 2 solid state pres to see if i can get the Defy to wake up.
It I can get some better respose , i may keep it and look for a good used Audio reserach or a macnintosh.
I do not have $6K for a jadis pre used.
My budget is $1K
any help is greatly appreacitaed.
I have the uncredibly SEAS Thor MTM speakser along with the CAYIN tube cd player with upgraded opamps .
As I say I am very close to selling the hge, hardly used (Like New) amp, due to my doubts that I can get the amp to respond like its tiny brother , The Orch Reference.
btw I am the one who coined the tag *shootout* wayyyy back in 2000, or 2001
I stared a thread of speaker shootouts,,,and based on that long thread, i bought the SEAS THor kits.
I now see *shoot out* is now the common tag for speaker and stereo components comparison.
My old login was Bartokfan.
Look forward to any suggestions in my dilemma.
