hello everybody ... :wink: DUCKY'S BACK... :P I was at a friend, a test of extreme stratos mono on jbl 250 ti re-filtered. here's his comment 8).
a person who controls much better than my hi-fi, with a long experience ...

hello THE FELLOWSHIP

a force of scolding me like a naughty boy, and under pressure and some impatiament recognize that, I finally m'execute for the redaction of the CR as expected (ca a reflection of the good) Amps stātos ODYSSEY MONO EXTREME here renamed for the occasion under the EMS

for the listening room is 48 square meters to bring some level and not be at the close
For the material I had to make a choice between the many links at my disposal it would be

source: SACD SHANLING TC (optimized by changing the tubes)
in preamp: SUNFIRE TG5 and PHASE LINEAR 3800
in speakers: JBL 250ti (external filtering components hdg (self a ribbon Jantzen, condos Audyn cap, and other resistances mox))

after setting up and up, it starts with women's voices and jazz
DIANA KRALL album "the girl in the other room," the voice is raised and a natural confusing, the instruments stand out remarkably, the plans sound both in width and depth are transcribed with great accuracy
Patricia Barber album "Cafe Blue" and "companion live, his voice carracteristique is here with a grain density, a relationship that I've met that very few listenings
on the track "too rich for my blood" of a more formidable difficulty of the medium / high (crescendo on the voice, in charge of it a very high level), distils MEUs rendering of the most serene, not of tension or pinch feature if the amp has "limited"
on the track "Nardis" and its final Dantesque MEUs alternate subtlety and power with the first rule compliance games and stamps instruments
on "black magic women" companion of all is transfigured, MEUs retranscrivent side with this "reel" the ultimate tonic and nervous of this title

passage of a more electro sound tracks
DiMeola / McLaughlin / DeLucia album "friday night in san francisco live" and its flagship title "Mediterranean Sundance" to try and enjoy the harmonics, fast transients, the spacialisation and stereo effects, what is the first When I hear this title with equal force, realism and speed, it is articulated and absolute control
on the title live in "the clap / mood for a day" group YES, the guitar playing of Steve Howe is rendered with the feeling that it plays in the piece, is a holographic image, one forgets the pregnant a point that it can look disturbing
masses of symphonic orchestral same, no sense of confusion of registers, plans remain clear and staged with the option not to change the atmosphere of the rooms or the works are played
on percussion and traditional instruments (kora, oud and other "winds"), on such tracks MEUs are "royal" in terms of holding power, speed and articulation
On the control of HP's grave (30 or 38 cm), nothing can disturb MEUs come, they start or the many other amps and not least a reputation overblown and tariffs stratospheric "explode in flight"

concluded MEUs are after listening depth, a sort of synthesis of the ampli "ideal" has one of the most serious and rapid maitris?s associated acute medium has a more open and the stamps, all with a holding power if we desire the most phenomenal and "seismic"
but icing on the cake has low MEUs maintain this balance and provide a listening pleasure without the slightest fatigue auditive

CLAUDE you possess great amps in the true sense of the term which do honor to the "MUSIC"
they appear to me so far in their entirety and synthesis among the best amps (all types (totora, hybrids, tubes and prices combined)
and god knows if in 25 years I have listened hifi
CLAUDE happy man you are, enjoy and appreciate the preservatives in as long as possible (this is an advice) these "jewels musical" qualities "extraordinary"
thank you for listening, respect and HATS OFF

scolding me like a naughty boy

Now where have I heard that before...  :lol:

Nice to see another SACD enthusiast here--my front end is a Sony SCD-1/Tempest pre and I agree that SACD/Odyssey gear is a great match.

ducky7566

it is certain that sacd have a better quality recording ... And of course, this means right now ...
the difference is there, cd VS. :o
so , one more time , sorry for my " english "... :oops:... :green:+++

pfradale

No apologies needed--my French ability is limited to food and cursing!  :duh: :lol: "Scold me like a naughty boy" is perfectly fine English... it's just a phrase you might hear in the bedroom...  :lol:

I don't know if you enjoy jazz but if you do Analogue Productions is currently remastering many Blue Note titles and issuing them on SACD. The sound is excellent!

ducky7566

hello Pfradale ... I hope "" madame "is not too harsh with you ...   

my English is so low, I use machine translation on my computer ... 
but, sometimes ... this is not correct, or perfect ...





I listen to some jazz, but not too ... I have a CD from Blue Note, KURT ELLING, "" CLOSE YOUR EYES "" ... delicious ...  although too jazzy for me, I prefer jazz rock ...
Marcus Miller, Jeff Beck, Steve Hillage, stanley clark, george duck, Adam Holzman band
alain caron Uzeb ... things like that ... 
Hadouk trio, Trilok Gurtu, etc, etc

I do not have a SACD player, is a friend who we do testing on jbl 250 ti. I have a cd cambridge 640 CV2, coupled with a 3 D converter LAB DAC 2000, 24/96 ... very nice report ... 

Today I'll look for a preamp audio research sp-16, to try with the mono stratos extreme, before buying it, if it is better than the Harman-Kardon SIGNATURE 1.0 ...  comments soon.

Very nice.
BTW,  the 250 Ti's are some of the best speakers I have heard when I was still in Germany.  Has been a while,  and obviously haven't followed up on their development,  and, of course,  don't have an exact memory of what they did.  However,  I know that I wanted a pair back in the mid 80's.

ducky7566

hello, I bought the preampli sp16 audio researsch  ...  :o what a foot ...  8)
the HKS 1.0 IS WELL ... ARC is the perfect ...
a real pleasure ... everything is better  :drool:
sonnore stage, depth, stereo imaging, stamps, placement ...

much better defined, more details ...
changing the world, cool.
la, I expect ROTEL rss switch 900, to spend 8 kappa A, jbl 4425, without any disconnect ... just press a button ...
2 I like the sounds of 2 marks pregnant ... then I can change when the cd is better on one or the other ...
I would do a CR on my impressions between the 2 pairs of speakers ... bye  :wink:

when I can, I will make pictures of my new toys, and the 250 ti refiltred, my friend...
