Peter Walker lived in a completely different age.Obviously, one cannot say he would have landed in the significance of cable camp. And given his ability to grasp good sound and unsurpassed intellect, it's equally unfair to say he would not have | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp @gmbt2k the Hovland is a honey of a preamplifier. Interested to hear how it compares.Two questions, if you are willing:1. What tubes are you running in the DA60?Jadis components, including the DA60, show as much reflection of the tubes employed a... | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp Thank you, Michael.Yes, you can. Having owned more amps than I can remember, and finding the DA60 the best, the question remains, why do you want to? | |
