Description

Music...... That is what this nicely designed system is all about. It doesn't Screem: LOOK at ME !! Instead, it whispers: LIsten.. to me. This system is a working model of what the word "Synergy" means. From the splendidly detailed and superbly controlled amplifier to the insanely captivating DeCappo BE's... This system is a little slice of Heaven for us.

    • Audio Analogue Maestro Setantta Rev. 2
    A SET sounding, and powerful 70 watt amp that is the best that I have heard. It has a large soundstage and incredible grunt in the low end. The mids and highs are just to die for. It is a downright pleasure to use and listen to. Google out the reviews and prepare to be stunned.
    • Reference 3A DeCapo BE
    Simply the best I have had the pleasure to own or hear. Just addicting
    • McIntosh MR-78
    The best.... Period.
    • Jolida JD 100-a
    Really a musical CDp. Perhaps that's an oxymoron, but this thing has a bit of the Analogue Soul that is sooo missing in many (even upper crust) CDPs. Two sets of analogue outs, plus a RCA digital. I use re-issue Mullard: 12ax7 Tubes (2)
    • Nakamichi MR-1
    This deck stuns me every time I use it. I could listen to it all night, and sometimes do. If you think a cassette deck can't do brushes on cymbals, just try the MR-1
    • Jolida Glass FX Tube Dac 2
    Open and smooth.. Does what tubes that you choose want it to do. Very well built with premium, parts.
    • Skylan Four post...dedicated for DeCapos
    I feel that Skylans don't ring like Sound Anchor and some others. These stands just let the DeCapos stand in a silent space.
    • Apple Apple TV Internet streamer
    One hundred bucks gets you tunes all day and night for nothing. Best deal in Audio. I listen to WWNO HD3 for Jazz that is CD quality. Hundreds of stations to choose from.. Plus video ! Couldn't get rid of XM Radio fast enough. It has a Toslink out to use with my TUBE Dac. Pure bliss.
    • Nakamichi CR-2a
    Another Nakamichi . Just great for doing tape to tape Xfers to the Nakamichi MR-1. Just a two head, but a very musical machine. ... Nicely Analogue !!
    • McIntosh Dirty 1a
    SLUG-ish
    • Origin live Resolution modern
    Beautiful deck.. Both in music and looks. This one has the upgrade DC200 mother and control box. A real piece of work
    • AKG K701
    Wonderful set of cans... I also use a little Creek OBH 11 with them. You can listen for long periods of time without fatigue...
    • Empirical Audio Synch Mesh
    A rogue Re-Clocker. A
    • Origin Live Illustrious
    This arm could pick the snot out of a sleeping amoeba's nose... And still leave it in its dreams. I feel as though I am dreaming too, every time I use it. A sure masterpiece of thought, engineering and application.
    • Creek OBH-11
    A great little bundle of sonic wonder. This is the new and upgraded version, with the prettier face and on/off switch. You forget all that just as soon as you hear the sound. No, it won't drive a pair of Apogee Scintillas, but it leaves nothing to be wanted playing my AKG K701,s.
    • Grado Reference series Platinum 1
    Musical-musical-musical. Not much left to say. It's Musical. It takes the music out of the grooves and slaps you about the ears with it. Is a 2500.00 tonearm overrated for this 350.00 wooden bodied cartridge ? Not in th

If not tried for comparison already, might be worth trying the power conditioner with your source level gear, like DAC, etc. and see if any difference.

Definitely not a good idea to use it with devices that tend to draw a lot of power and current, like the integrated amp.

I have a much more modest Monster PC on my digital source devices and pre-amp and I could tell a nice difference with even that in my case in terms of better detail and clarity.

Each persons power scenario is different though, so its one area where YMMV for sure.

Sweet.

WHat's the gadget the Jolida tube amp is sitting on?

Just wondering if some physical separation between the two if possible might yield even further positive results.
