Had to rearrange the rack as there was no room in the middle shelves for either the TT or amp. Think I prefer it in view like this. Cant wait for darkness. :-)

New addition to the family. Gone are the Audioplans and Devialet 120. In comes the Jadis DA88s. Should be the natural partner for the Quads and an initial impression would tend to say, f*ck yeah!

Oh very nice Dave, I suspect a marriage made in heaven or at least a filthy affair. Either is good!

Re: Amp Nirvana
Thanks lads. I certainly had no plans to change the Audioplans and the Devialet as they are both superb pieces of kit. But when the Quads became available it was just too good an oportunity to miss out on. That left me with the task of selling the Audioplans. Getting the Jadis in was a no brainer. Forgot to add that there is a Project Tube SE 11 phonostage that I've just connected up too.
Cloney's will have the Audioplans and Devialet 120 in their preowned section soon.

Re: Amp Nirvana
In a way I am glad you took that Amp Dave as I had been considering a loan from Cloney's for a few weeks now after falling for Tony's Jadis with his Quads, definitely a great partnership.
Enjoy and thanks for taking temptation away from me for another while...

Re: Amp Nirvana
Wow hifi heaven you just need a proper dac now and the picture will be complete.
Is that what I can aspire to when I grow up?
You certainly move quickly Dave and nobody could second guess you.
That set up needs a house warming. Think we need to book the next CA upgrade testing meet on de northside?

Re: Amp Nirvana
Congratulations Dave! That amp and those speakers should indeed be a great match. May you enjoy for a long time to come.
