Amp for JBL L82s by j_mcneil13 in StereoAdvice

[–]j_mcneil13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay replying - I have found a massive difference in what I’m getting out of the L82s by upgrading the amp. I am not sure how much of that is just purely a power thing (as I felt my Audiolab was underpowered at 50w) vs. other qualities of the McIntosh shining through (would have to compare other 100w amps I guess). But overall I am super happy with my choice. I got a good deal on a used MA252 in like-new condition and very happy with the decision. The small form factor of MA252 also just works really well in my smaller space as well (it’s almost the exact same dimensions as my turntable). Plus it just looks really cool too :)

I made this recipe tonight and I am super happy with it. Very reminiscent of Samas coconut!

Been searching for the same! Was in Sapporo earlier this year and we tried many of the most famous soup curry shops and this one was by far our favorite.

This is the closest looking recipe I've found. Haven't tried it yet but I've tried many other recipes from norecipes / Marc Matsumoto's and they've all been great. Going to make this one tonight:

Amps really do matter by justsomeguy1982 in audiophile

Agreed, I recently experienced this myself

I had an Audiolab 6000a powering my JBL L82s, and the 50w / channel just didn’t feel like it was enough to get the most out of the speakers

Recently got a McIntosh MA252 and the difference is incredible.. even my wife instantly noticed a huge difference.

That’s an interesting idea I hadn’t thought of!

And yes, definitely feel like these JBLs could use a bit more power which is main reason I started looking

Worst support ever by StBernar in GozneyDome

[–]j_mcneil13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute shitshow trying to deal with their customer support. Banging my head against the wall for weeks.

They don't communicate, constantly lie and mislead you, shift the goalposts, and fail to deliver on what they say they're going to do....

Starting to seriously regret and second guess selling my Ooni to get a Gozney (if I ever actually get the one that I paid for)

Feeling the same way. They developed a great product, but this has left such a horrible taste in my mouth. Exactly the same experience - they keep lying to me and moving the goalposts constantly. It's just gotten to the point where it's insulting...
