Current “Best Bet” SOTA Phono

[morricab]

If a room is heavily damped, the reverberation time is around 0.3s, then you lose a lot of energy. You can then hear louder but you need a lot more power. i lose 2-3db per meter distance to the speakers. if you want to listen loud, the Klipsch RF 7(~100db/1watt) also goes above 125 db / 1m permanently under 5k€,

Don’t care about loud...

Don’t care about loud...

Especially "that" loud. And if my room were heavily damped, I'd want to do something about that if possible. I recently installed a number of high end panels, both diffusion and absorption and at 85-90 decibels, it was bordering on too much.

Jadis now is the pits. A disgrace. Shoddy and embarrassment to their previous good reputation. Avoid like the plague

Jadis is a brand I've always looked at, when dreaming about my future second system, which I hope to make tube based + monitors, a smaller system. For that I thought Jadis might be a contender. Can you elaborate, on why they've become the pits?

Destination Audio has a new tube phono stage coming that's supposed to be the real deal and should mate well with your Zanden. Call Fred at Prana Distribution to find out more. Fred knows tubes and phono stages for sure. Good luck.

Gardener, no doubt the HSE Reference is one sexy beast!
