H2o Amp
I have a conventional (vintage Bozak Rhapsody 401 with 10" woofer, 4.5" mid, and 2 2" tweeter), a single driver (Fostex 167E in an MLTL config) and a planar (Magnepan) set of speakers. I can rotate my speakers using my H2O and very happy with all ...

Jolida JD-100 can U use 12AU7 or 12AT7 instead?
No, absolutely not! You can use an ECC83 or 5751 however. 
good bass cable $100 new and used value 8ft
Hey Chad,Sorry! I only had Martin Logans (Aerius, Aeon, then Ascents) and now maggies. So I cannot comment on the ET line of speakers.cheers! 
good bass cable $100 new and used value 8ft
My suggestion is to get a 12 gauge magnet wire (preferrably BAE) from Ebay for around $30 (120 feet). Terminate it with connectors you want or better yet go bare wire. This I believe is the exact cable that Paul Speltz sells as "Anti Cables". I tr... 
Jolida JD100 Tweaks & Tips
I agree with Susan. That "error" sometimes happen to me when the disc is dirty or when the player was not leveled correctly. I tried vibrapods, sand bag on the top, inflatable inner tube, etc. At present I am using Star Sound audio points and Virt... 
Our we Lazy?
SS and PWM amp for me also. Just a personal preference that's all. I currently own ICE H2O S-250 and Threshold Stasis S500. But I also have a 300B amp and a modded Dynaco St70. 
Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
My vote goes to the ff.1.) Magnepan 1.6QR - I sold my Martin Logan Ascents (from Aerius, then Aeon, to the Ascents) for this! I was right about my decision and happier!2.) Dynaco ST-70 - in modded form, it is so hard to believe that the design of ...
