Description

As I age, I value simplicity more.  These days there are many fabulous integrateds out there, some with very good streamer DACs built-in.  I've been fortunate enough to build 2 systems around such pieces and enjoy the hell out of them.  This is the main system.

Hi Eugene,

I have writing for advice on Von Gaylord gear. I have had a Legend Audio Triode Mono for also fifteen years. It has been in storage for ten years and reactivated last year. I enjoyed the amp. Compared to a VAC PA80-80, it is much better. I know it is, for the money, a quality gear. 

Last week, one of amp started to blow fuses continuously. Local technician could not fix it, and I am in Asia with no dealer support. I  had wanted to up-grade to a Nirvana amp for a while. You have a pair of Nirvana. I wanted to get you feedback on whether it is worth going on to a pair of Nirvana? What other amps have you compared with? 

Any comments would be much appreciated. 

Thanks!

Eugene,
If I may ask, what are the modifications done on the Turnberry ? is it the crossover components ?

Eugene, I spotted on a previous thread that you did listen to both the Bel Canto 2.5 and the Berkeley Series 2. Is there a big difference? I have the 2.5 but I always wanted to try the Berkeley. You can see my system in the Virtual Systems...it is not extremely high end but resolving enough. Thanks.

Eugene,

Congrads on your system. I bet it sounds fantastic.

I'm a fellow BADA user (MK1 in my case) and very happy with that. I am still using good-old Hiface (BNC) and considering upgrades. There arer many options... JKMK3 is at the top of my list. Can you share some of your views on how it compares to others your tried on the BADA (the AP's for example)?

Also, do you use one of JK's attenuators on the BADA (and if so, which one / with what cable etc.. saves me ordering the wrong thing..)

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I posted a question for you on your thread about
the DAC. Will you please take a look when you get a chance.

Thanks
