Jay's Audio Journey

Sounds great but I prefer the Soulution 725/711 combo to anything in their 5 Series. I used to own the 520/501 and the 7 Series is on an entirely different level in my opinion.

Hard to say from my phone but having listened to most of Jay’s YT demonstrations, especially those with the Alex and Boulder monos, this system sounds more analytical, less warm. Might be good, might be bad. I would have to hear them both live to know.
 
Magico M6’s

Have had several Soulution/ Magico combos, and it’s a good synergy if you like the sound signature.

Don’t quite understand the pairing though, 160K speakers with a 30K amp.

Maybe he is trying to show what a really good set of speakers do for a system.
 
I'm sure it would sound great, but not optimized. The pedigree of the electronics, whilst admirable, is not in the same orbit as the speakers.

He told me he just wanted to dip his toe in the water with Soulution.

I’m installing a world class amp for him today. A back breaker of an amp! :)

Not looking forward to the 8 hour drive. :(

have good trip!
so what could that be? boulder 3000series?

i do like the soulution530 / m6 sound. did hear the m6 with the 7series on a real occasion.
analytical in a very good way.
 
Well, I'd think the better audition would be with those Pass Labs monoblocs. Or do you have that combo in your own shop? Did you take along an Esoteric XD for source comparison?

Excellent, congrats Mike. Will be a stellar system.

I could imagine the amp is starting with a B. [emoji3]

Share some pictures if you can.

On one of his recent videos, he asks the question, is it ideal to own "better" speakers and lesser electronics ? Or, tier1 electronics and lesser speaker?

That being said, I'd guess that brought his decision to purchase the M6 rather than Alexx V or XVX.

He probably sold/traded in the Boulder Monos and Alexx for the M6 and a stereo boulder amp. (My guess)

He obviously is a guy who is passionate and has the financial resources to be such a gear swapper.

The one component that has been consistent has been his source. The Rossini DAC +Clock.

In the end, I think he will settle with Boulder +M6 combo.

For a while at least...
 
Mike’s featured pretty prominently on Jay’s channel. Very nice, Mike!

He did an impromptu interview with me when I was helping him dial in the M6’s. That will be airing tomorrow. I would have liked more time to prepare though! It was more like “stand there, I’m going to interview you.” Doh!
