| NY HE Speaker Standouts my favorite room was acapella's. both lacampanella and fidelio sounded close to perfect for me. transparent, sweet, fast, coherent, and clean bass from lacampanella. | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? my jadis ja30 came with ei kt90 tubes and i haven't felt the need to change. i also haven't heard the ja30 with power tubes other than kt90, so i am kind of speaking blindly. i did change stock 12au7 and 12ax7 to nos tubes with great results.good ... | |
