| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? With all due respect gentleman, I think my statement about Jadis falling off the map in North America rings true in answering your questions. While I have not yet heard the EE Minimax, I hear it is a good budget component. I have heard most of the... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Pierre, thank you for the clarification.As you can see, Russ (Rcprince) and I are two of the bigger fans of Jadis here on Audiogon. Will you be reestablishing a dealer network in the USA? And, if so, we are in the Northeast (he in NYC and me in Ph... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Fernando, not Jadis related, but if we are talking of biasing in general, I have always found that my preference is strongly towards running tubes at the higher end of a manufacturer's biasing recommendations. To my ears, the sound takes on a warm... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Denis, I am so happy to hear that the sound is coming around for you as the tubes break in. Yes, the Jadis sound is incredible. Again, it is a crying shame that the brand has fallen off the face of the world in North America. Obviously, I feel tha... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Flg2001, the DA5 is not autobias? I always thought that outside of the Orchestra and Orchestra Reference were autobias. Although, I may know what you are talking about. I used to read that the JA200 had some kind of adjustment for "bias" on the tr... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? I just dusted off and retubed my Jadis Orchestra Reference two weeks ago with a quad of JJ E34L tubes. The stock tubes are Ei KT90.Oh my goodness! With the front end and cables that I didn't have a few years ago, the sound through my Coincidents w... | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing This is the one and only experience I have had in listening to a player where you could choose to upsample or not, so take it with a grain of salt...After we went to a Friday Night Cruise Night in Sommerville, NJ in Bill LeGall's Packard this past... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Twl, like most of us, you are coming from a voltage source mindset. Just about all of us think in this manner. That is the way of audio. A current source is a WHOLE different ballgame. I have heard stories of people building low watt amplifiers th... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Tim, thank you for the information!I don't think you are a good candidate for the amp, with your VR DB99 loudspeakers. I would be more than interested to hear if anyone with a brutally difficult loudspeaker load, such as the just about dead short ... | |
| What makes a speaker perform well at low volume? I think Cinematic_systems is right on!!! He gets my vote for Post Of The Year.I almost NEVER hear audiophiles discuss the Fletcher - Munson Curve, and it is why I feel just about all systems have nothing for me at lower volumes. I don't feel the m... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Interesting design!If it is a current source, rather than a voltage source, perhaps some Apogee users might find a good amplifier there. Maybe it won't melt like most amplifiers out there.Conversely, most more "traditional" speakers might sound od... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? Tvad, I'm glad someone else "feels" that song. It's truly why I am involved in the high end. The equipment is merely the means to get there; secondary to the music.I really want to thank Denis (Springbok10) for the opportunity of getting to know h... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two Kevin, I want to personally thank you for your input in this thread. I was quite curious about the ability of the larger amp to accept EL34 tubes, and you answered my questions. Normally, the bigger tube (6550/KT88) amps will take the smaller EL34... | |
| DK Design users check out Writers Choice Awards Larry, please clarify if you have any relationship with DK Design.While I accept the comments of those here on Audiogon, I will not soon forget your ranting on the Von Schweikert VR2 speaker as also being "revolutionary". It was a sad day when I c... | |
| Who hear the Hyperion at the CEs this year ? Joe, no, they look EXACTLY the same to me. I think the fact that they are in veneer as opposed to black lacquer really changes the look.One of my big concerns with the speaker has always been the driver. This is probably why I know the drivers are... |
