| Sovtek 6550 - Can they really be THIS bad??? Maxxc, the "new" Jadis for me is actually a used amplifier, so it's already burned in. My experience is that Jadis amps take a good long time to burn in, but such is not the case this time. $11,800 is more than I could swing, as much as I'd love t... | |
| Sovtek 6550 - Can they really be THIS bad??? Thanks for the replies. Of course, it is possible that something is wrong. That cannot be really known until I retube. One thing is for sure, it won't be with 6550. I'll get two quads of JJ Blue Glass E34L. Because of my impatience, I was thinking... | |
| Lifespan of speaker crossover components & drivers The conventional wisdom is that current drivers use of butyl surrounds extends the driver's lifespan infinitely. However, I can tell you that after only about 7 years, the Seas P21 Excel drivers in my Coincidents DEFINITELY needed to be rebuilt. T... | |
| Any reliability horror stories out there? Bezimienny, the one knock on Jadis has been its reliability issues. Still, in my experience, my JOR and DA30 both proved to be flawless. Keeping my fingers crossed that the new DA60 I am about to get keeps this trend going for me.If you find the h... | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? Wow, it takes a person of real character to return to make a correction to an earlier statement. You have won a lot of admiration from me, Biominitic! | |
| Region Free DVD Players. My Samsung HD841 Universal player is Region Free. I wholeheartedly recommend this machine to anyone, especially audiophiles, looking for a Region Free player. It is a good looking, well built, flexible component that will play WHATEVER CD, MP3, SA... | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell Well, going against the tide, as is my pattern, I first want to congratulate you for this thread, Sounds_real_audio. And, also to thank you.I believe it is an excellent step you are taking. I have little insight into you beyond what I have seen he... | |
| Tweeter repair? I don't think Bill at Millersound does tweeters. He has the ability, but he is so busy, he focuses on mids and woofers pretty much exclusively.Of course, I could be wrong, and you could call and ask... | |
| First Impressions of a First Watt - the Aleph J Gliderguider, I have always been quite a fan of your Audiogon moniker. Now, I am also quite a fan of your writing style and, in particular, this review. Nice job. Bravo!I am especially appreciative to your honest assessment in the initial post. Al... | |
| How do you listen your system? Front, mid or back Thank you for your advice, Don. I appreciate it.In all honesty, being the typical neurotic audiophile, I have done all of these things already. This is by far the liveliest room I have ever had a system in. But, I don't want to really react until ... | |
| How do you listen your system? Front, mid or back Thank you, Distortion.In all honesty, it's going to be a bit weird, as with the new hardwood floors the room seems more than a bit shouty and forward, just with me talking to my wife. Hopefully, when I move the furniture in over the next week, and... | |
| Polish for Rowland amp facia? Darn, I thought the thread was related to Polish people's opinions on the look of Rowland gear. Not really sure how it would go, but for what it's worth, we Italians really like it. | |
| Looking for preamp to go with my NAD 2400 Bob, what are the sources you are running in your system? If you are not spinning vinyl, and have only one or two sources (CDP, tuner, etc.), you should try the NAD sans preamp. Simply use the level controls to adjust volume. I ran my NAD 2600A fo... | |
| What was you most expensive accidental damage? This is going to seem trivial, but I once (accidentally, on purpose) busted up a late 70s vintage Panasonic clock radio. The Eagles had just lost a game to the Redskins on a field goal in the closing seconds of a game, and I just kept bashing the ... | |
| How do you listen your system? Front, mid or back I listen in the nearfield. Pretty much big time. A buddy who comes over quite a bit once asked, "Why do you sit so closely to the speakers?" Well, for one, in my rooms, with the speakers out far enough into the room (both on the long wall of 13' X... |
