Speaking of PS Audio...


I demoed a used Lambda II with the SL3 transport against the Sony XA777SE. I had high hopes for the Sony, even thought it is a bit out of my price range. Well, I can't speak for all the raves, but the Sony didn't even compare with regular CDs. It was very dry, boring and uninvolving. And it was also quite rolled off at the lower extremes. This surprised me, so I tried again about 6 hours later with the same results. Then I took a look around for some reviews and found the same opinion here on Audiogon. PS Audio really had something.

I had planned on getting the Jolida JD100, but may change my mind now. Any thoughts from anyone on this?

Any recommendations? Locally, I'm not finding much to check out before things get really expensive. The PS Audio set-up is the best I've found for the $$ so far. I'm interested in tubes which is why I was thinking of the Jolida.

I tend to listen to jazz, (though not light jazz) acoustic/female/male vocals most of the time. I do throw in some alternative rock once in a while as well as some good bassy pieces. Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
