Thanks Meridan has always enticed me but I did go for the Jolida. I don't know I think it may be double jeopardy. I loved the change to my Anthem so I am hoping for the same with a tube CD. I don't know I have never bought a piece of gear before I have bought it. So this will be a learning experience. I guess if you hate it it is only a $100 mistake and a couple more 5:30 searches. Take care. Tyler |
Drew,
Greetings from Eugene Or. It's about 5:30 a.m. and my 2 week old needed to hear some Gershwin, amazing thing hears music and settles right down. Anyhow, my main concern with a new CDP is live recordings of older and busy/complicated material. Do you ever feel like your Fidelity is too clinical? Plus if you had to choose either the Fidelity or the Classe which would you pick?
Oh yeah, just got to see String Cheese for the 2nd time in the fall of 02. One of the best shows I have seen in a long time, All smiles but I haven't gotten around to getting any live CD's, any recomendations. Thanks Suko |
Viggen,
Ever have a 2 week old? Trust me it's not my hour of choice, But hey cup of Joe, Audiogon then off to work and ever been to Eugene? It is a bit different but that's alright by us. Thanks for the input I'll check them out.
Goose,
Thanks for the input. Does your Cary ever sound too revealing on some recordings. Basically is it pretty uniform for all CD's or does it have a particular few. Plus what kind of system do you have it in? Thanks again. |
Viggen,
Take care of that baby, I know it's hard to rip yourself away in these early discovery days. As far as Hot Lips, hell I can't go there now but I think it is what got me in this 2 week old baby mess in the first place. So I'll pass.
Hey, I know your a Cal/ARC fellow but what do you think of the Jolita? The folks way out here in ORYGUN haven't really played with this Maryland toy, not in any of my stores.
I'm hesitant because of my Anthem 1, but then again that was a no brainer for me next to a nice Rotel.

I don't know this buying equipment over the Audiogon beast is interesting yet uncertain. Forgive me, earlier I meant to say I have never bought a piece of equipment without a good 6 hour test drive at home, sometimes a week. But my selection in Eugene is pretty limited and I'm used to Big City shopping. O.K. there is one drawback to this hippie town. Where are you anyway?
$100 mistake, seems like people sell these things after a week of having them. Stereo Junkies paradise. So tell me oh wise one, what's the down side to this game?
|
Drew,
String being the Rockettes going around the lake. Sounds like an evening. Hey thanks for the info about the Musical Fidelity, it sounds like a great player. Running aroung on the Audiogon has inspired me to take a chance on the Jolida. It's seems like it will be fun hope it doesn't get too liquid. If so I guess you just have to go back to the drawing board. Take it easy. |
Viggen,
Yup, your a junkie! Help a novice down the path of the dark side. Where else do you look other than agon and ebay?
This is dangerous and sure enough as soon as I sent of the MO for the Jolida, the guy with the Cary 303-101 starts coming down in price. Hey what kind of music do you listen to down their in the concrete jungle anyhow? |
Now I can see the stylistic differences with the Jolida, its that synthetic part that will kill you, try a little Buckley in your diet and it will only seem surreal after the fact.
Funny I was expecting something in the realm of Brahams concerto whatever with the brillant harspicord solo by the flying nun in the London philharmonic. Interesting, tell me was it sunny in LA today???? |
Buckley, Jeffery- Singer who died in the mid nineties after taking a swim in the mississippi after a 5th of whiskey. Just a comment seems like you might like your a bit on the darker, techno side. Hence the difference with the jolida. To be honest I only have an outsiders prospective from my earlier days of The The, Cure, Ministry and Sonic Yourh. So I may be way off base. |
Sounds like you have the synthetic LA syndrome. What did Adam Durowitz, Counting Crows dude (I know it's main stream fluff) say, It's been so long since I've seen the ocean think I might try" or something like that. |
I was wondering how you got to hang out and stress over which player is going to make life real that day. Hey I was having a garage sale one day and this guy asked to see my system. Upon perusing my CD's he informs me that he is Mr. Jones..... what do ya think do I trust him? |
Slipknot!
Yeah the second I read your user name I thought Help is on the Way. Funny thing, your recommendation of the Jolida. I am expecting mine in the mail tommorrow. I hope I like it I will let you know. Hey if you like SCI and also like smaller less known bands have you heard of Yonder Mountain String Band, great jam bluegrass and relatively new! |
I can't remember Right Here, Right Now it's now history but I do think he said Adam was a nice guy. Having fun you junkie? I'm jealous! I get to buy a new piece every 1 to 2 years. That's what I get for being a teacher. What do you do with ythat 1 month old outdated stuff anyhow? The Jolida is finally on it's way from Lou (I hope he's not a) Fink in Florida. Guess it may be a while, not sure never done this and I'm still a bit weary. |
Guess i should have done that with the Jolida I just saw someone sell one for a $100 bucks less than than I bought mine. I got a tube upgrade but oh well. Hey is there a DAC that you recommend based on the Bush teachers audio supplemental income funds currents reserves. If your not sure of thje budget it mirrors our federal governments. |
That's right,
Actually I spent my day dissaembeling Audiovox 6000SUX DAC players that I found at garage sales today. I am going to start my own internet site Defigon and auction each piece off to the highest bidder. I forsee much of old Rummy's money or Saddam's money flowing into the teachers audio fund quickly. Then I shall start the reconstruction through audio campaign quickly after the war. Warlord's, both American and middle eastern shall be drawn to music thus creating peace. And if not, I enact the secret Rage Against the Machine section of the BurrBrownchip on the American artilery, brainwashing them with the lyric Fuck you I wont do what you tell me!!!! Yeah I think that will work |
Naaaa,
It's already out, Old Georgie Porge already promised the 1.2 Billion for Hydrogen fuel cell technology. He is already trying to divert military and pro ANWR driiling funds to the secret accounts of you guessed it.....Ed Beagley Jr. and Woody Harrelson, Woody's acct is of course for hydroponics- better livin through green! Bet you never thought the conspiracy went so deep. |
Didn't you hear, Old Georgie Porge just gave the american educator's audio fund an ultimatim. 48 hours to drain the funds reserves and if we set the fuel cells on fire then we will be war criminals, and punished just like any french man should be. I liked his quote today, and "let's hope that God still blesses America" |
Here Here, and of course God will bless the other 29 major nations which accounts for 20% of the world that were cohersed, threatened or just plain told to agree with minor blessings for the 15 that agree but didn't wish to say so.
Please don't wait 500 years. |
Nope haven't heard of the recipe, Leftover was just here on Saturday but I wasn't able to catch there show, 3 week old baby, My wife has seen Tony Trischka many times and I got to catch him at the Northwest String Summit this year. Oh yeah ever seen Dark Star, Dead cover band that plays live shows, there a lot of fun, I know it sounds a bit corny but it's a bit spooky....in a good way. |
