| Upgrade Questions My Von Schweikert VR-1s are great at low levels, have bass that goes down into the 40's, and plenty of people run them with tubes. I use them with a tube preamp and Class A SS amp with only 25 watts. They need good stands, but you've budgeted enou... | |
| integrated amp question I took almost the same path as you when I upgraded. I was using an NAD receiver with preout/powerin jacks and a phono stage. First came a new power amp, using the NAD as the preamp and phono. Then a tube preamp, using the NAD only for the phono th... | |
| The iPod and the Audiophile Samuellaudio,If you have a dock and use the line out, volume is adjusted only on the stereo. If you use the headphone jack, volume is adjusted on both. | |
| Adcom GCD-575 CD Drawer Problems The_kid is exactly right. I owned a GCD-575 that had the same problem you're having, and when I opened it up the switch contacted were bent and corroded. After 15 years and numerous moves, it was no surprise. I was able to clean them and get the d... | |
| Gain specs for Jolida JD-9A phono preamp Gadfly,I've considered using a step-up while decreasing the gain of the Bugle. Here on Audiogon there is certainly passion on both sides of the SUT discussion. Have you used the Lundahl? What was your experience? | |

He's a synthesizer genius and has played with some of the greats: Nektar, Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin. For more details about his music and project... | |

| Gain specs for Jolida JD-9A phono preamp Colitas,Once you get set up I'd love to know what gain setting you settle on. That, at least, gives one point of reference.I'm also interested in the noise level of the Jolida, as the reason I'm looking is because my current Hagerman Bugle is pret... | |

| Classic speakers to hunt down used The New Advents are a classic and still sound great. Make sure the foam surrounds of the woofers are intact, as they tend to rot after 10-15 years. I owned mine for 25 years, replaced the woofers once, and sold them here on Audiogon to a guy who c... |
