Music listening has always given me great joy (even on my low budget system). I can't even imagine what it would be like to listen to music in your lab. All the best to you. Thanks for all you do.
Glad you enjoy it!
LMAO the $3 remote to the $72,000 pre
Spot On.
Try and buy a replacement and see what happens. Probably find a Bose universal works.
Only 6k more than a Tesla Model S. So much technology packed inside the silver sht box than a Tesla Model S...ultra high end bull indeed.
@wa2368 Take a Polestar for a blast. It has some great features over Tesla.
Where Tesla fails is it's all ipad hi tec.
Polestar goes backwards for some important essential functions. Which makes it easier and safer for the driver.
A tear-down may be VERY telling
Jay, at this Rate you will be a Full Blown Brick and Mortar Store! 😁💪
I have watched many multi-million, ultra hi-end hi-fi systems on youtube and owners say the same thing "Yes the loudspeaker is very important component but the most important ftom all is the pre-amp and always will be".
@@wrangler10 many pre amps act like an eq
Sometimes I think people pay for hifi because it’s expensive but nothing to do with sound. at this price point, the remote is a SHAME.
Ok
The ending: a racoon jumped on the D'agostinos
What a cliffhanger, can’t wait to see the rest
I hope that remote has ultra high end batteries😂.
The remote control of the Gryphon Diablo 333 also works with the Ch Precision L1 🤣
For $80,000 if it doesn’t sound at least amazing I think there has to be something wrong with Soulution
And no external power supply
Cost of labor in Switzerland is high
Yay, I don’t know if you read comments, but I have a question not related to this topic. I see that the back of your chair is behind your ears. Could having your head and ears in free space improve the sound?
Perhaps
It looks so good! Remote though, a bit disappointing for the price but after all, the sound quality is all that matters.
Agreed!
Nice looks great can't wait to hear it
The remote is a joke for that price. Mine Classe Omega pre has a aluminium remote
Cool stuff Jay. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks for watching!
Watching your channel reminds me of the old series Musashi Miyamoto, one monk had been preparing his entire life to fight Musashi but had never experienced a real fight. When I watch your videos I always wonder if he really has a better reference than me. Until I discover a new level and ask myself a question, but she's probably already been there :)
The remote is also used with some Nagra stuff
Love Soulution,heard the big monos years ago on big Magicos with MIT cables,it was magic.
Another great video. The more I watch, the more I learn. Thank-you again. I'm looking forward to hear what you think of this one.
Dang it Jay! Left us hangin' on that awesome sound! LOL 😂. Man, please do a follow up listening session with the Solution. Lov'n this man! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks 🙏
LoL 😆 ending Taiko snippet 😊
The soulution-755 phono stage has volume control and the same output stage as their preamp. It would be interesting to compare this direct to the poweramp vs via the preamp you have at the moment. I am betting 755 direct will sound better. This would be the scientific way to really address the preamp issue rather than just rhetoric.
I believe the phono preamp is called 757, unless the 755 is its predecessor. I had a 757 in my home for 2 weeks to demo.
I really liked the available inputs of 757; tape head pre, optical phono, low output MC and 42db MM. It would allow me to replace my CAT SL1 preamp w/phono, step up transformer, Manley tape pre and DS Audio pre. Unfortunately only the optical pre section was up to the musical standard of the component it would be replacing.
The MC performance was close, a bit lower noise floor but I still preferred my silver wire Bent Audio SUT - CAT combo with its bigger and noticeably deeper soundstage that better placed instruments. There was also a noticeable difference depending upon cartridge as I mostly play only my Lyra Atlas mono MC these days. I still have a few other MC stereo cartridges; VdH, Benz, Shelter and Koetsu but I find myself mostly using a Grado Epoch or my DS Audio cartridges on stereo records. The Epoch was a REALLY bad match for the 757. An incredibly engaging cartridge sounded veiled, unengaging and lacking any fine detail.
As bad as it was with the Grado, the performance was worse playing the tape head outs of my Ampex ATR102.
Needless to say I returned the unit to my dealer. I even had the shop owner to my home for his opinion and he just shrugged his shoulders. I’ve never owned a Soulution product in past and obviously there’s a required synergy with certain components. I’d highly recommend anyone considering their preamps to be certain to demo them first.
@@MichaelM-to4sg No thats the de-emphasis preamp its something different.
How exaggerated is that last face? 😂
But great vid again
Really interested in hearing your comments on the ch precision L1 with and without X1.
I compared the $15k Solution 325 to $50k D'Agostino and Boulder. I thought the Solution performance was 90% of the $50k units. I bought a 325 on the used market and I couldn't be happier.
I’m happy with the progress of this channel so far.we going steadily to 100k subscribers and beyond.all the best Jay
🇿🇦
Let’s share guys,sharing is caring.God bless
thank you
Hi Jay, your video is fantastic! I'm really interested in Soulution as you mentioned. However, I can only afford their 3 Series or 5 Integrated (since 5 is an old model, it might not be relevant now). Could you review their new 3 Series? I always enjoy your new videos!
In the future
Hey Jay...love the videos but I was curious about your statement regarding the AC power cord...."just a regular cord". Considering this unit is $78k, why don't they include a high end power cord? Are you using their cord or are you using a high end third party?
Stock powercord. Remember they do include footers which nobody else does
Waiting for the aavik 880 😊
Jay, compare the BeoLab 90s to your setup. No excuses.
Are you going to get the Angela Gilbert Yeung amp? I heard it is pretty unconventional
It’s the interesting that you don’t have any space behind your seating position. I always thought that was not good practice. How did you get around that?
By not being overly concerned
Cool. Now bring his matching new amp 717. Then put a shootout with Ch - Precision L1 + X1 + M1.1. Thanks.😊
Why do you have weights on so many pieces of equipment, especially the monster Mac’s? Oh and I know you have said, but what is the brand of the weights?
Thanks for all you do.
Jay, would you kindly check which tv remotes are working with CH?😎
You my have to either switch off the other pre-amp especially when you use the volume! Am excited to see what your last-minute exclamation was about....hurry up next installment!
Will do!
That remote is the same remote used by the nagra classic preamp, which I used to own. I really didn’t like the remote either.
It is such a shame to see that you get such a crapy remote with a 78000$ pre!
The remote should be an Extension of the gear- experience. If it is crapy, it ruins the whole experience for me! You salute the extra effort on the footers but what about the crapy power cord? It is just disappointing and I can’t get rid of the feeling there is something off….
Oh to dream .
You are gracious. As a Swiss, I 'm embarrassed by the remote control that Soulution includes with this preamp. Let's hope that the sound excels.
Huh? I love the Soulution control, great ergonomics!!
As far as the sound, best preamp on the market, full stop. 😊
@@BlueSilvertone What other preamps have you tested side by side to the Solution?
@@Eugene737I don’t test, I listen in my home. CH precision, T+A, Tidal, Dan D’ Agostino, Boulder
I hope so too!
That is the Gryphon Scorpio CD player remote. Just a plastic remote lol. For that kind of money you would think they would develop their own remote.
Same remote can control two different brands, and they look extremely similar too, heng, I bet they look similar inside the box as well.🤭
Jay, when will you give the American brand Spectral Audio a chance ?
When they reach out to me
Any interest in active studio monitors paired with a great preamplifier?
But power cable is just standard of the shelf
Most people that spend high dollar (or less.) on audio equipment have their cable brands they prefer, so it doesn't make sense for the audio equipment manufacture to buy a certain high end brand if the buyer isn't going to use it. Also, if they did that it would drive up the price of the component. Remember, audio equipment manufactures don't build cables. That's a whole nether business. Every audio component box I have has the power cord still twist tied and in the box.
Folks - Jay is a trained professional - do not attempt this at home
No pelican case for a flagship product- SMH
Dude ,that’s gorgeous 😉
I GIVE YOU 2 THUMBS UP FOR YOUR CONVERSATION WITH MICKEY ON HIS LIVE FEED. I KNOW YOUR HONORABLE AND SHOULD BE COMPLIMENTED. MY VIEWS ON YOUR 100K CABLE REMAIN UNCHANGED. I WORKED ON F18 AIRCRAFT SPENCIFICALY THE F404 GE ENGINE FOR 25 YEARS, NONE OF THOSE CABLES COST NEAR 100K AND THEY WERE VITAL ON A MISSION/PILOT SAFETY CONCERN. N2 COMPRESSOR WERE TURNING IN EXCESS OF 50K RPM. I CAN WELL UNDERSTAND PAYING THAT PRICE FOR YOUR SPEAKERS BUT MY HEALS ARE DUG IN FOR CABLE PRICE. BUT YOU GAINED POINTS WITH ME FOR BEING STAND UP WITH MICKEY AND FIRMLY BELIEVE YOUR BOTH VICTIMS OF SOMEONE A BIT DERANGED. MY 2 CENTS.
Maybe lend your friend Michael Powel this baby.. As we know, he only believes in pre amps, if you play analogue..
And if you have a Playback Designs MPD-8... OR... you can just spend the $78K to "really" get the music..😂 no hating involved.. knock yourself out..
I see, you really enjoy Swiss audio high end brands, and not only Swiss watches from Rolex and Omega.👍 What's next? NAGRA?
We shall see
Not enough inputs.
A Mickey Mouse remote for a 6 figure component isn't a great look. Not impressed.
Oh no, stopped the video too soon. Want more reaction videos from first listening to new equipment.
Next time
@@jaysaudiolab Well, had to look up the amp. Quite an upgrade from the CH Precision I imagine, and perhaps the amps is revealed better??
Jay you are just circling in the handful of brands like Boulder, Gryphon, Solution etc. There are plenty of other ultr-hiend brands...why don't you try them like, Kondo, Aries Cerart, Robert Koda, Zanden etc.. otherwise it's becoming quite boring seeing all the regular Ultra High End Brands
Because I don’t want them …. No other reason
@@jaysaudiolab any reason for not wanting them?
@@saurabh190285 One should assume he has heard them before, and did not like the sound. The brands you listed above, are to my taste, I'm a SET amp, horn speaker, and electrostatic speaker guy. But I still love listening to this channel reviewing the top electronics the market has to offer.
You can find very good British and Japanese youtube channels that review the brands you listed.
@@saurabh190285probably no discount.
Seems like Jay like Swiss brands, what about reviewing the most famous audio brands from Swiss, Goldmund and FM Acoustic
Why don’t you show different brands is it because you get big discounts from these brands
, therefore giving them glowing reviews
Do you actually ever sit down and listen to music anymore or just the equipment
If you want to be impressed try Vitus Audio you won’t look back
Don’t be concerned about it - just enjoy the show. You think too much.
@@jaysaudiolab please don’t patronise your subscribers it is starting to sound like cash for comment
Soulution rocks! 🤘
The best preamp Soulution 727🎉
The fact you go through gear as often as you do just loses me on the credibility issue. You are all about what is new/fresh not what sounds good. Not an audiophile at all. Gearhead.
Ok 👍
72000???
😂
what happened to audio is a disgraceful...
But in the end, if you are a donkey you are a donkey...
Stupid money.
And when you try to sell it, one month later, you are happy if you get 55%, which says a lot.
not so long for the initial and full review this time please
What a shitty remote!
Dude, you are heavy breathing. Get some exercise, doesn’t sound too healthy!
If you want to enjoy audio, better start some cardio.
I’m good. Thanks for being concerned lol
I was being selfish 😉 Who else is going to make this content!
I got to sat for a $78K Preamp that is an embarrassing cheap remote, you can buy products for a fraction of the cost of that that come with really nice remotes, disappointed
I agree, I would only buy an expensive product like this is if every, and I mean every part of the buying experience was pure excellence. There are other ultra high end companies that will give you that excellent experience from A-Z. It's easy to do at this price point.
Some really high end preamps have no remote. There are good reasons for not having a remote for SQ reasons.
These sounded great at AXPONA 2024. ❤❤❤ but I do think they need to upgrade the remote at this price. The remote controller looks ridiculous.
