I have just got the Vertex Jaya in my system (Helios 2 CD player, CODA CSi and Sonus Faber Concertino). It does open up the sound, improve the dynamics and more importantly give more scale and air to the music, making it that bit more fluid and natural. After a few hours of listening, I took if off to see what happened. Instantly it made the music flatter and more constrained. A little less lively too. I got mine for £250 and I am very pleased with it. It has become one of these fundamentals in any good system along with decent interconnect and stand. As usual with these things, it'll never be the silver bullet that will get to me to my musical holly grail. Nonetheless it is definitely another step forward in the right direction and that's what matters! By the way, the best bargain upgrade I ever got in my system was the anti-cables interconnect from anticables.com. Truly astonishing! Great post!

I found my system getting quieter and was able to spot instruments in the soundstage more easily. Wonder what the bigger one does. If you want to raise eyebrows and get interesting improvements to the system try some Shun Mooks, Quantum QRT and Clever Little Clocks. God they really did see me coming..... ;o) I have the “cheaper” Jaya running in my system – very nice indeed!
