| Cayin A 88-T vs Rogue Tempest: Thoughts? I only heard 1 Rogue amp yrs ago, mono block tube. So will not comment. At the moment I'm doing my darn-dest to acuquie a A88 so as to compare with the Jadis OR/KT90 tubes.. This way I have a sense of reference to go by. Hope to establish a sense ... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? The KT88's just arrived, replaced the KT90's with the Elecrto KT88's and after only 10 minutes of listening, promptly placed them back in their boxes. I'd say the quality lost is near 50%. In fact had the original JOR came with these 88's I'd be o... | |
| What is Better? SS Amp+Tube CD OR Tube Amp+SS CD tube amp + tube cdp, works for me at least. | |

| Low level listening how many folks actually own apiano to compare the speaker with it?How many here actually listen to only piano solo?After having heard more than 50 speakers in the past 5 yrs, I can tell you there was not one that matches the Thors. A few had deepe... | |
| Help with a tube amp recommendation As to the Audio Research VTL100 Mk2, my friend had a Audio Research VTL 200 MK1, and he agreed my Jadid Orch at less than half the size of his AR amp/pre combo, was superior in resolution, cleaner/less fatigue, to his AR. Of course he had the powe... | |
| Low level listening Agree, just about any stereo sytem sounds good to excellent at low volume levels. I'm refering to less than 9 o'clock on the control. Now just after 9 o'clock on the contriol, this is point where any average sounding amp, begins to show its colora... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs "slight differences"...not sure which amps you are listening to. Take any Cayin tube, put it in a room with any ss amp, even 3X's the Cayin price. Then come back and post a comment. | |
| Low level listening Would someone translate Plato's comment...guess I'm an Aristotleian...:-) | |
| Low level listening "speaker should play good at low and high volume". Why is it necessary to play at high volume?I'd bet less than 25% of audiogon members listen at high volume. I've never understood the idea behind loud listening levels. Does music become better at... | |
| Low level listening Rushton "consistentcy of tonal balance across the fq range". "Tube electronics achieves excellent resolution in low level listening". 2 excellent poiints.As I listen to Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach's Painted From Memory at 1/4 vol, I hear only th... | |
| Low level listening I have power to spare with my Thor's (Tyler's mid line qualifies in this benifit as well), even though my room is large I listen at low/mid volume. Speaker designs that use Seas drivers are rated as low efficient, like 87, but still a little 40 wa... | |
| Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.? Yes that would be speakers that use the Seas'. | |
| General consensus on buying used eq. Also ask the seller to pack very well. as I sold cdp here and was damaged in shipping from Baton Rouge to California, via UPS. The buyer had to send it back and I put in a $500 claim to UPS, 4 months ago. It may take another 2 to 3 months, as Katr... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? Aktchi, in fact , an hour ago I sent Buck there in Jackson Mississippi a note asking if he has time this weekend for a visit. I plan to bring along my Jadis Orch Refer/KT90's and Cayin 17. Buck has the Cayin 50 cdp and so we'll get a chance to hea... |
