Congrats and good luck. Been looking at that on the Lotus site and wondering myself. Went so far as to have a chat with Mattias @ Brinkmann when I had the opportunity.
Are you running it with a Ront or the standard power supply?

Thanks defride, I bought the RoNt also.
Nice. What Kuzma arm and cart are you using?
it may interest you to know that having chatted to Willow Tree Audio, they didn’t rate the HDMI/i2s output from the Jays, preferring the AES/EBU. So you may not be losing out on that score…just trying to make you feel better about your decision

May see if I can bodge an interface into the 4.1 . . .
In any case, I’ll not be losing sleep - the Jay’s into the 1.1S via BNC already sounds bloody amazing:

The arm is an 11" 4 Point, and the cart is a ZYX Ultimate Exceed 4D.

Bastard. You fuckers have now made me desperately want a Jays transport and my hifi isn’t even set up.

I was thinking about my Terminator yesterday. It’s just so natural and easy going I have NO desire to upgrade. I havent even bothered spending the £100 to get the upgraded board, which is meant to improve it! Instruments just sound real, like with vinyl.

Probably easier if you just don’t set your system up and sell your Terminator to me

I don’t recall much of the time I spent listening to your Dreiklangs - how do they compare with that sense of speed that the Triangles have?
They don’t emphasise the excitement and leading edge attack in certain music in the way the Treeongles did, they are more neutral - that’s a mixed blessing as you can imagine, but a 99% positive one.
One of few things that might persuade me to move them on is if a full-fat set of Magellans ever hove into view at a price I can afford - which will never happen.
Even then, I doubt they would render bass as well as the 3Bangs - they really are bloody good at that.
This has sparked a thought - I do wonder whether something that allows me to mess with the rough sound profile might not suit. There’s definitely times when what I want is, for example, to recreate the almighty thump of a bass drum through stadium sized PA system, but that’s definitely not what I want for an extended listening session either, it’s just “too much”.
Buy a pair of top quality subwoofers* - switch them on when you want your giblets rearranging 
*I can highly recommend both Heco’s and Triangle’s upper-tier subs, pricey, but much faster than the inexplicably popular stuff from BK, which I found rather sluggish-sounding.

Try getting a sub with a phone app to adjust the amount of bass from your listening seat - some SVS subs have this option.

One of the best sounds at the Bristol show in the early 00s was a 2.1 triangle set up.
Pair of ls3 size speakers with a sub.
Never seen them anywhere since.

After almost three weeks of listening I can say that this is a very fine phono amplifier, lovely effortless open soundstage, clarity of vocals is something special.

Result. Be interested in a look under the bonnet at some point
