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.

Figured the room treatment suggestion would come up, as i watched my vid ad figured should have placed one of my many persian rugs down as ~~room dampener/acoustically tr5eatment** no problem,, will do so tonight. anyway, will continue a long sries of YT uploads for 1)m show off each piece of system 2) show off each mod 3) expose the crappy stereo systems vids on YT all with 30 seconds of the very worst recordings in terms of musical content/recording quality. From marimbas, to chinese lute sytle, to a long boring drum solo,,, highly equalized/computerized mod recordings, I can not find even 1 stereo vid with muisc that shines and sparkles with vocals, high dynamics. Most sound like muisc passing througha guitar fuzz pedal. Note my speakers are what they are,,nota super large sound stage,,,these are a mere 6 inch cone mid woofer,,, Beginning in the 1970's Big speakers never impressed me That postulate holds true today,,Except i owe a apology to a YTer who posted his Defy7 set up with Jadis's HUGE massive super heavy speakers,,which i might actually give approval , after several listenings. But not for me.. These Thors are perfect for my preference. anyway,, all comments will have to be taken over here, as YT has me permanently block to allow comments on any upload,,i am a enemy to the state, as a ~~promoter of anarchy with disruptive un-orthodox views, which instigate disharmony and confusion....* concerning CV19. No big deal. I plan to make at least another 20 or so YT uploads. Some of my ideas may not go over well among some members of the audiophile community,, So be that too. We are here for searching after high fidelity,, yet at the same time , exposing ~~The Snakeoil~~ so prevalent among this hobby past 50 years. Not once was i tempted to sip, guzzle snort, nor inject , those gimmicks. And now in this post CV19 world, our stereo bugdet must be managed with care and caution. P the Snakeoil Buster New Orleans |
OK so here's possibilities, need help deciding. After hearinga all Jadis set up on YT with B&W speakers(nota fan), the system bristles with colors and dynamics,,as much as i can pick up via my computer speakers,, so here's the thing.. I have modded the Lite pre amp with new M caps, and now the sound is more relaxed and ~~inviting~~~, But I think the Defy has more to offer. than what the Lite ~~jadis clone~~ can provide. I was thinking gettinga cayin SC6 preamp @ $1500.. or should i wait and see ifa used jadis preamp pops up? I need jadis preamp owners imput here,, as I have no experience with J's preamps. Iwo will the cayin be a step above the Lite, yet still below the J pre? Meaning down the road most likely upgrade to a J pre? Also , which model from J should i be considering as a match for the Defy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izqMVG3kuLE |
Hexck, just decided to takea closer look at J's page preamp listings,, Scrooled down through all, then 2nd to last listing PRE1. says newest design perfect fit for the new J 100 (Defy7's replacement amp), so that settles it,,,may have to fork out the cash fora new one, as i've not seen any used..let me go email the Blue Bird dealer in San Antonio Tx,, The other day i requested info on the J cd player,,,~~only $18K~~ i wrote back,,~~offensive and insulting,,,all i would do is say ~~that damn 18K cd player~~~. I mean there is no cd player worth even close to 18K, lets see how the pricing goes for the PRE1. http://www.jadis-electronics.com/en/pre1-48.php https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izqMVG3kuLE |
just got it Are you ready ~~~EIGHTEEN THOUSAND~~~, man J really loves that 18 number,,must be their lucky number or else J realizes the USA $ is really worthless, so 18K worthless US $'s, is reallya good steal,,and you know they are right. 18K is a bargain. I think i'll get one. But i am going to talk them down to $10K. hey this is post Cv19 era,,,= half loaf bread better than none at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izqMVG3kuLE |
