| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 I’m by no means an audiophile expert and have a modest system but I have no problems recommending the Black Ice integrated. When I decided to dip my toes in the tube waters, I bought a Jolida Fusion 6802 which is the predecessor to the FX22. I’m r... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Little Feat “Waiting For Columbus” immediately comes to mind, but this is such a difficult task. I’m a lifelong blues junkie and I listen to a lot of Jump Blues/West Coast Blues. I don’t know if I can leave that behind. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? There’s many but I’ve been listening to Rosie Flores quite a bit lately. 2 others I’m listening to at the moment Eilen Jewell Susan Tedeschi | |
| Tube Integrated Under 1,500 I have a Jolida Fusion 6802 I picked up a couple years ago for $1599. I like it a lot but have no other experience with tube amps. Maybe you could find a used Jolida, | |
| Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice I have a Jolida that uses EL34 tubes and think it’d match up real well with CWIVs but I’ve been holding out for a set of LaScalas. | |
| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k I really like my Focal Aria 906 | |
| Primaluna? When I decided I wanted to get my feet wet with a tube integrated I was looking for the best bang for my buck. I went with a Jolida Fusion 6802 on close out from Walter. I like it a lot but that’s coming from a guy that had only had receivers in t... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC I’m what I consider a medium to low budget audiophile. I just added a MHDT Orchid to use primarily with a CD transport. I’m quite happy with the improved sound out of my CD player. Seriously looking forward to purchasing a better transport. I have... | |
| Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening? Focal Aria 906 | |
| Which Tube Phono Pre Amo? Dead quiet is what I’m looking for. I’ll just have to wait and be happy with what I have until it gets here. | |
| Which Tube Phono Pre Amo? I think that settles it. I’ll get in line for a ZP3 tomorrow. | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. When I decided to go the tube route I bought a Jolida Fusion 6802 from Underwood Hi-Fi when Walter was blowing then out at a $1000 under MSRP. I didn’t want to get in too deep and figured I couldn’t go wrong. I absolutely love it. It’s powering 87... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Klipsch Heresy IIs. Initial impression I liked them after 5 minutes not so much. Thought I’d give Cornwall IVs a fair chance due to the positive reviews. I just couldn’t listen to them all day. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk I think you made an excellent choice. A Raven and their CeLest’ speakers will be the second 2 channel system in my home. I bought a Jolida Fusion 6802 last year to try a tube integrated out. I’m sold on tubes. I’ll be adding a pair of Tekton Doubl... | |
| How old are you? 54...I got my first system 40 years ago. I’ve always had a modest system. Currently I’m piecing together my first system with a tube integrated and love it. |
