| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? I've just switch from a CJ MF2500A to a Cary six pacs. With the six pacs, music just flows and has a fluidity that was not there with the MF2500A. Keep in mind that the 2500 is known for its tube like and has received lots of praise. On the other ... | |
| Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners 790 usd is a pretty good price for a brand new unit. Remember to swap out the stock tube for some NOS tubes. | |
| Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners "Fast paced rock can make the Jolida sound a little congested with flabby bass". A lot of things people say are a little exgagerated just to make their point and I am sure you've done the same things too every now and then. The Jolida's bass may n... | |
| Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners I've had the Jolida JD100 for a few months and I would say it is mostly muscial, warm, smooth, analog like sounding with respectable details. The bass is not too bad but it is probably on the deep and full rather than being lean and fast.But outpu... | |
| Coupling Cap Values for a VTL ST150? Usually the value is .47uf but guess you should check with the ones that are being used in you amp.As for what type of cap, Jensen Paper-in-oil caps tend to be more musical, a bit roll off top, euphonic sounding, while Hovland caps tend to be more... | |
| Intregrated Amp for Thiel 2.4 s I once hear a pair of Thiel 2.4 driven by Audio Research tube preamp, Audio research SS amp using Acoustic Zen cables and the whole combo sounded fantastic. Probably one of the best soundstage I've ever heard. Can't recall the model's name though. | |
| Krell 400xi ? Arcam FMJ 32? Musical Fidelity A5? I've never heard MF or Krell but did have an A90 once and although it is somewhat musical, I find the A90 a bit cold and compress compare to a good tube amp. The bass is slightly lean without good body. | |

Glue veneer to cabinet.4. Use either lacquer or shellac for finish.Of course it's not that simple but let me know i... | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2500A or a high power tube amp Mine are pretty easy to drive. Here are some of the pictures of the ones I build. I currently have a tube amp but looking for some power. I already made up my mind about he CJ 2500A. I could go for a high power tube amp but probably will be out of... | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2500A or a high power tube amp Hi StanI am using DIy speakers. I stop buying speakers about a year ago ever since I started buildin my own speakers. From memory, mine sounds pretty good compared to the comercial ones. | |
| Good Bach Piano Concerto in Dminor recording A lot of people think Glen Gould is just a speed nut but I think he's more than that. I am not a professional musician but there is something about his playing that is satisfying both emotionally and intellectually.He is the closest to Led Zeppeli... | |

| Totem Forest, Spendor S6e, or Spendor S8e ?? They sound very different but I think they both share the same important characteristic is that they more concern about communicating the emotion of the music rather than striving for details or soundstage prowness.I hear the Totem Model 1 and For... | |
