Hi
Yeah I bought a Defy with stock 6550's, and traded to kt90's, and now running kt80;s,,i will go kt150;s early next year.
for the 12AU7 section, dump the AU's and get E80CC.s does not matter which brand, all sound eactly same,,although i *think* the Valvo's might be a tad superior, not by much, The E80's blow away even the Holy Grail Tele's.
Note the Jadis web siteshows the JA80's with ~~~KT150's~~~ which is a confirm i will dump the 88's for the 150's. although i lsiten on low volume i am looking to get every sonic tweet in my system for the classical muisc i listen to.
= well worth the extra $800 for the 12 tubes.
Go with 150's. o
once you install the E80's, , it really makes all the dif , to where it really does not matter which brand of AX you run..although again I *think* i hear the Tele's a tad superior to GE's, Siemens, but again not by much.
The critical tube in a amp is the AU section, as noted by another member ina recent post.
I am very surprised few audiophiles have not caught on the the E80 as a direct replacement for the crappy 12AU7. Even my Tele AU sounds like garbage next to any branded E80CC.
man that JA80 sure looks sharp, on speakers, go
SEAS Thors, with all M SGO caps, ask Madisound to upgrade xovers with all M
and as a second set of speakers, have madisound build the SB Acoustics again with all M SGO caps.
Both speakers will match the JA80's super high fidelity.
