Re: Sorry

My e-mail addy is out of date and I haven't figured out how to change it, sorry! My new one is mikesae@intergate.ca

I also prefer the look and feel of the old stuff. Hope you find older style Planet soon. Then you'll have some true synergy going on!
I'd still be enjoying my Rega system if it wasn't for a great deal on a Nait3. Since then, Naim has robbed me of much cash.

As for the Juras, mine are the older ones. They have a Rega sticker on the fascia instead of the plastic badge. Not sure of the differeces except some sort of new tweeter.
I loved them with my old Mira and later, the Nait 3. When I moved to the 72/140, they became far too boomy. Too much wollop for Juras, I suspect.

I added a fair bit of stuffing to the boxes, giving a more agile and even bass response in my particular room. The port no longer has that blow dryer effect anymore, however, some low bass was sacrificed. With much of the boom gone, the already bright highs were now more exposed.
I took the tweeter assembly off and then reglued the tweeter in with silicone. The theory being that the silicone acts as a damping between the tweeter and resonant cabinet. To my ears, everything seems more coherent and balanced now, their agility intact. Purely amateur stuff I know, but it worked wonders for me.

Funny you mentioned the new Elas, as I've ordered a pair and they'll be in next week. Like you, I'll switch between Elas and Juras, depending on my mood :)
They're excellent, I'll email you with a more helpful descripion once I get them in my room.

Cheers,

Mike S
