Trace for a low buzz in one channel on AE3 preamp?
Well,I have had it for about 6 months now, but used it occationally as my SE-1 amp had a volume as well. Tried pretty much everything.. tubes, powercord.. Might give a shot on longer interconnent, but I doubt it would solve the problem.. Hate to p... 
Trace for a low buzz in one channel on AE3 preamp?
My pre sits next to the power amp. My interconnect is only 1 meter long. I have tried severval custom made power cords and different outlet, but still buzzing. Anything else I could try?Thanks a lot 
Any Duty Fee to import equipment from China?
Well.. aside the topic, Nrchy but I think All other countries have a bad feeling on us about ongoing war as well. All of them may tell thier people not to buy our products, probably with the same reason. Every country have both angle and devil sid... 
What's up with Joida stuffs from Hongkong?
I meant to say if the factory makes more of the units and sell them in the black market, wouldn't the factory violate the licensing agreement that they have with Jolida? As it's obviously that Jolida hires them to make it (as well as Lau?). 
What's up with Joida stuffs from Hongkong?

How Jolida JD100 compared to CAL IconII?
Ritt,could you please elaborate a bit more about "very different presentations?" How do they both compared?I did use the after market power cord and Zu interconnent. Frankly the Icon II sounds fine to me. Just wonder if I will get better sonic wit...

Audio Physic Spark v. Joseph RM-22 sigs
Well, I disagree with Tacs about dissappointment from shifting away from Maggies..I used to drive Maggies 1.6 (with full XO upgrade) with the Stratos and finally moved to Silverine Panatella II with 300B SET amp. Maybe it's more of a combination b... 
Does a good monitor produce a compressed sound?
Well, the Center focus on Panatella II doesn't smear that bad. I mean I can still get a center focus of the vocal, but it seems to smear a little bit compared to the Axiom monitor. On the Axiom I can just move my head to the left and right slightl... 
Speakers to go with a Jolida 302b
I have a Silverline Panatella II driven from my 7W SET amp with a pleasing result. One of the sound stage reviewer used this speaker with Jolida 202 (probably more or less close to your amp) with good result as well.http://www.soundstage.com/reveq...

Try this simple DIY interconnect cable.
Which ground wire to use? Will any generic 12 guage wire do the work, or do I need particular wire for the ground?Ake 
VTL Service ??
I emailed VTL several times asking if they have a dealer in Thailand and never heard anything from them. It's been over 6 months. So now I gracefully move away from getting VTL amp.Just my experience.Ake
