Usually the tape inputs have sounded the best on the Jadis preamps I've owned--probably less wire/bussbar to travel, although there is a cheap relay switch it goes through, which would seem to contradict my observations. On some preamps from Jadis (the JPL and I believe the JPS 2) the CD input has an additional tube in the circuit to supposedly soften the digital glare, that would definitely sound different than the other inputs. Otherwise, I have not noticed differences in my pre--I wonder if some inputs in your pre are more sensitive, and therefore louder at the same volume pot setting?
Different sound from inputs 1 and 2 on preamp
Does or has anyone observed that there is difference in sound between different imputs on the same preamp. I have discovered that with my Pass X1 my input balanced 1 sound different from my input balanced 2. They both sound good but they sound different.Is this normal and has anyone else noticed differences between their inputs sonically on their preamps.
