Granite Audio amps
Oz, I can surely relate to your statement about when it comes time to put the hammer down, you want the oomph to be there. Personally, I thought the Granites were quite strong, but it very well may be the other amps outdo them here. One thing you ... 
Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds
Hello, Paul. Glad to hear that Richard is doing well. From all accounts, he is a really good person.If you have little need for ultimate bass extension, but prize midrange "rightness" over absolutely all else, the JJ Blue Glass E34L tube is for yo... 
Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds
Bill, take the Jadis specs with a grain of salt...For example, on their own website, they list the JA800 as using 4 KT90 output tubes, a fraction of what the number is in reality. Also, the Class A/B JOR is listed as consuming 300 watts, while the...

Ozzy62, so do you have them, and if so, how do you like them??? 
Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds
Bartokfan, are you in France? I'm not nearly as well versed as you when it comes to Cayin gear, but a friend of mine has the KT88 based integrated. It sure is a nice amplifier, but it doesn't appeal to me in the way that the Jadis integrateds do. ... 
My Best of CES
Bobby, thank you for refreshing my very poor memory in terms of Ricardo. I am very much pulling for the success of you both. The amp strongly reminded me of my Jadis DA30/DA60 - beautiful in the chrome/gold casework, and I'm sure like my amplifier... 
My Best of CES
Russ, can you also e - mail me, please. Want to renew my lapsed membership, and this meeting seems to be a good opportunity to do so. I also want to say I met the ARS designer last year, and he seemed to be a terrific human being. Unlike most of t... 
what is the REAL deal with DK
Well, Audioari1, I half agree with you in terms of the square wave. Your comment on the Halcro is more in line with how I feel. I'll leave it at if an amplifier reproduces a square wave beautifully I can say that it defintely reproduces a square w... 
Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds
I have owned the JOR and currently own a DA30 and DA60.The DA50 is more or less an update to the DA30. A bit analogous to the update that the JOR was to the Orchestra, and today, the way the DA88S is to the DA60. So, while I have not owned the DA5... 
what is the REAL deal with DK
Audioari1, I'm still waiting for you to address my questions to you in terms of you trashing Jadis integrateds.I understand and can appreciate your fondness for the DK product. While not in the camp that is anti - DK, I will also say that whatever... 
My Best of CES
Excellent show report, Spencer. Bravo!I'm always happy to see when someone shares their impression of the sound that they come across. Things are even better when the writeup is impressive, as yours is. Seemed like Bobby has the whole show thing d... 
Sovtek 6550 - Can they really be THIS bad???
I have been in contact with both Pierre Gabriel - North American distributor, and Avi Brand - US service rep, along with the former owner in regards to the amplifier.In Avi's estimation, he knew this particular amplifier, and the person who modifi... 
BEST AUDIOGON POSTS
The best post to me will forever be the guy who began a thread, in which he asked a question. He later submitted a post, answering it, gave out an approximation of where he lived, said he lived in the same area (imagine that) in the same post, and... 
what is the REAL deal with DK
Audioari1, in my opinion, the BAT has at least as much slam as the DK. And, truthfully, have you actually HEARD a Jadis D30, DA50S, DA60, or DA88S? Or, for that matter an Orchestra or Orchestra Reference? Please explain to me the bass, or anything...
