Jay's Audio Lab Visits GR Research's Listening Room

Not too long ago, a couple of dudes on his channel were A/Bing a 100k cable vs some 27 dollar speaker wire from homedepot or something. Both dudes ended up picking the 27 dollar wire (funniest thing i’d seen in a minute...) and Mr. Jay had to come up with some desperate sounding explanation... that the 100k wire didn’t have time to "settle" into his system yet , oh well...

My impression is that Jay’s channel is mainly organized around very very expensive gear; it’s a Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous for audiophiles. If the GR stuff is not in that price category, I would expect that Jay loving it would be off-brand for his channel’s character.

I had the NX-Studio standmount for a few years hooked up to a Yamaha c5000, m5000 stack (technically, a 20k stack, but, immaculately engineering). It gave a shock effect to guys who listened to that combo as well...recently sold that standmount to a dude who very desperately needed it.

I think the sweet spot for "watts" and refinement is somewhere around where that Yamaha M5000 is...for a wider genre of music.

But, here he is still talking about some lousy chip amps with Mr. Jay...doing a disservice to his own speakers @dougthebiker

I’ve got the NX-Oticas in my listening room with about $50k of power conditioning and 1st rate cables.  Only have a $25k digital front end, but my rig sounds MUCH better than Danny’s.  I made some of Danny’s cables and they degraded the sound significantly.  Great for modest systems but you don’t want to subject Danny’s NX series speakers to them.

I’ve got a very good 300B integrated amp driving these and most of the folks in our audio club are shocked at how good the SQ is with only 9 watts.

Does anyone know what drum record they are using in the demo.

thanks 

I guess I'll have to watch the video, but I have found this Jay guy to be very annoying in the videos of his I've watched.

As for the sound the system produces, I wouldn't dream of thinking that can be discerned from a video posted on YouTube.
