| Upgrade from the myryad z110 to tube cd? My Jolida definately delivers a big soundstage. My C333ES sounds very flat and introverted in comparison. Tubes make an appreciable difference in this player. I thought it came with Chinese tubes stock but when I opened it up, I was surprised to f... | |
| speaker grilles My JM Labs also sound better with the grills off...although my soundstage doesn't grow 6 feet! Dag nabbit. | |
| What cd player should I buy? I did what Golden Ears says. It was a very enlightening experience. I am now the owner of a Jolida JD100 and it is awesome. I am also proud of the fact that I bought it at a locally-owned hifi shop where I got great service and a good price. Arthur | |
| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? yeah well, the 501s are not in the same price range! I am on a graduate student budget! lol. | |
| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? Yes, I now about the topology differences. I was more interested in hearing about sound comparisons. Thanks for the replies. Arthur | |
| Tube Pre suggestions for Mac Amp I used a CJ PV10 for a while but preferred my C712 with my MC7200. The 712 was sweeter - although I think that NOS tubes would have helped the preamp a lot. Incidentally, I used my CDP directly into the amp too but much preferred having the preamp... | |
| McIntosh MA 6500 VS Musical Fidelity A308? I auditioned the A308 with some B&W N804 and didn't care for the sound. It just didn't seem inspiring at all. The 6500 is just the opposite (although different system and different store). The Mc has life, emotion, and transparency in spades. ... | |

| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? The speakers are in my system list. They are JM Lab Electra 926. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Well, I was 23 years old when I got my first McIntosh. That was 4 years ago. I love the sound, the looks, and the presence McIntosh gear has. If you don't like it, look elsewhere.Not everyone likes the same thing. Why is that so hard to understand... | |
| Foreign language songs/music sure! I do it all the time. | |
| Balanced preamp recommendations Check out the McIntosh C200 if you like CJ sound. Stereophile thought it was just as good as the BAT VK-51SE but more practical and more attractive for less money. | |
| Jolida JD-100A vs. Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 I have the Jolida and I just love it! My local dealer says that you can change the sound quite a bit with different tubes - something he says isn't always true. I am getting some Sylvania 5751 today to try but even with the stock tubes, it is the ... | |
