OK new mod in the Defy
added 12 Mundorf Supreme EVO SG caps, .47 uf vaoue,,Very nice gains in mids, vocals, I would have to say thev Supremes (If you can fit them in place of old cap,,they are quite large), are superior to their lil brothers the SGO caps .
2x’s the price, but worth it.
Now all things being equal, I am guessing the 150’s would still retain some of their characteristic murky/mushy midrange sonics.
Guessing. But my hunch is the 88 is superior in mids and highs vs the KT150.
Even with the new M caps, the 150’s would not match the 88’s in mids/highs.. what the 150’s offer is a slightly more robust sound stage,,but again, lacks the clarity in mids/highs of the 88’s. KT88’s are the best all around power tube ever made.
The vid is 45 minutes long,,,at least jump to minute 22 and listen to Faith Hill’s vocals,,there you will hear ecah word clearly voiced.
Am selling the new kt150’s. Very cool looking tube, gorgeous construction. The KT88 shot them down pretty fast.
again, things were not equal,,so we will never know for sure how the 150’s responded to the new M caps,,Yes the M caps made that much of a sonic gain.
will add a new Cayin SC6 preamp, next month/maybe July,,1st have to sell off 150’s , as demand for 150’s is low, that might take a few months.
anyway,, The Jadis now sings with zero fatigue, bass is super, as expected from those huge trans, built like german tanks, but sings like angels.
The defy potential is only limited by the supporting equipment/quality of parts.
I will recommend all Jdais owners to swap out Jadis caps for M Supreme SG.
Result is not a ~~miniscule~ sonic gain, have to say a significant gain in all fq resolution.
anyway here is my latest vid, and now i offer Miles davis King of Blue, so everyone can reference how these M caps sound.
