As someone who saw companies like JBL on the sidelines of HiFi in the late 90s and 2000s it’s pleasantly shocking to see them release equipment of such quality.
You better tell us what's inside this arcam amplifier and don't forget to mention how arcam abandoned its users with the sa30 amplifier without finishing the firmware and along with them all those who managed to buy the anniversary jbl sa750 since it's the same thing. Remember Samsung and how they throw their customers. Now the same thing will happen to this brand. First they release the device and then they test it on customers, if they managed to finish it - good, if not, then no
True, but far older than A and AB. We find most people know little about it and dismiss it as being bad since its a higher letter than D. Thanks for watching
This presenter has no clue how to handle a turntable.On 3:15 he lays his arm on the platter and you can see that there was some pressure on it.Second,he says that this turntable is pretty heavy?5kg is not heavy.It is too light for a turntable.
Thanks for the feedback. Someone else actually commented this also and it was clearly a mistake. Presenting can be hard and we are always trying to improve! Obviously we understand how to handle a turntable but we all make mistakes 🤷♂️
This is the core difference between an audiophile enthusiast and a marketing geek who only knows to read out the flier… Dude, you are resting your arm on that turntable every now and then and even over the platter at times JBL trying to emulate somewhere HK failed terribly in the midst of heavy weights from their peer groups. And the only thing going for them is to sight their legacy from over half a century ago…
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Obviously, that was a mistake by our host and was unintentional. Hosting videos can be difficult! We tried to make it very clear that this was an overview of the entire line and what our experience was like using them. If we didn't enjoy the products, we simply wouldn't have spent the time to go over everything for a potential customer. We appreciate your feedback so we can try to keep improving!
@@AudioAdvice Your sincere efforts are much appreciated. And I really really hope that the current lineup from JBL will stand like a true testament to your positive review. But having said that, some of their decisions and configurations hardly ever make sense. Like having a superior DAC within the Integrated rather than the Streamer. Anyways, looking forward to checking it all out in the near future. Thank you for the detailed review
