    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    There are currently demo units available for the Model 3 riaa, Model 5 se 300b and Aoide headphone amp.

    There will be demo units for the Model 6 riaa and Model 7 line ready soon, and definitely in time to be seen at the NW Audio Show at Cranage Hall at the end of June.

    As winter is coming and the listening season is about to start (cricket season has nearly concluded!) I may be in the market for a pre-amp.

    I've read loads of glowing reports of Simon's wares, particularly the Model 1, 1.5 and 2, and wondered if anyone had the chance to listen to the Model 7 yet?

    Would love to hear of any views...
    Rob.

    There are currently two Model 7 preamps at Definitive Audio in Nottingham, a Standard version and an Enhanced version.

    Alternatively you are welcome to come for a demo in Manchester.

    Now that Dropbox have dropped the public folder, it's time to reinstate the photos




    The Arcadia Model 7 line stage is based upon the same 6111wa NOS military valve and has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical specification, and fulfils all SJS Electroacoustics primary design criteria:

    • Single Ended circuit topology
    • Pure Class A operation
    • Zero negative feedback
    • Valve rectification and choke-input HT power supply
    • Custom made HT T-network power supply capacitors with silver leads
    • Point-to-point circuit wiring without PCBs
    • Hand built
    • PTFE board for component mounting
    • High quality components throughout
    • Custom made aluminium chassis




    Bespoke customisation of the internal components is possible to meet our clients' specific requirements, whether it is replacement of the Audyn capacitors with Dueland RS or CAST or possibly even using Tantalum film resistors, for example, these can be discussed at the point of ordering.






    Each amplifier comes with 2 years parts a labour warranty, except for the valves which have a 6 month warranty.

    Further details can be found on the SJS Blog

    SJS Arcadia amplifiers are available from Definitive Audio in Nottingham
