Hello hello,
another interesting afternoon today. I went to have my first serious listening to a tube amp, the Jadis D50S signature...it is actually on sale as an ex-demo at the dealer's shop...very interesting.
It was plugged at my Silver RX6 at first...we played a lot of different music, jazz, blues, classic, instrumental, voices...a nice mix. The sound produced by the Jadis is superbe, the amp has a great authority without being aggressive...not even turning up the volume.
It has a great control and superb bass. I was very impressed as I was not expecting this level of bass. It really surprised me how deep and tight it was...even with the RX6 you could feel in your stomach sometimes. Live pieces were absolutely stunning, could really feel the emotions, voices were so natural and the scene was very wide.
Sound of piano was very intense, each note was full and complete, clear...
Well, this kind of sound really got me...then he plugged the PL200...and that was it!
The soundstage became bigger, the music gained another level of "liveliness" (can we say that in English?
), every sound was more clear....
Now wondering...how would you experts compare the MA PL200 with Kef reference and SF Cremona? The dealer said that Cremona are more adapt to transistor electronics instead of tubes...what do you think?
If I am going to buy a tube amp?!? Well...that's soon to tell, but this sound really got me thinking...I will try to get another demo already tomorrow with the AMS35i (if finally they got it) and with also a much more expensive combo (Primo + AMS35p) to see how they would compete...
