| 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? | |
| I'm Looking for some great electronic music Synergy, as mentioned by Ghost_rider, is fabulous but not actually a band; it's one guy - Larry Fast. 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... | |
| Omnidirectional antennas Here's an interesting note about the FM2G and the ST-2:http://www.fanfare.com/st2-expl.htmlI also agree with Markphd that a Terk might be all you need if you're in a strong signal area and you can position the Terk near an outside wall. However, m... | |
| Omnidirectional antennas I'm using a Fanfare FM2G-C and it works great:http://www.fanfare.com/fm-2g-c.htmlMarv Southcott was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. | |
| 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... | |

| Anyone making plinths? WTB Here's another guy, Doug Olsen:about2@comcast.netand an example of his work:http://www.theanalogdept.com/doug_olsen.htmI haven't used him, but he was very professional in our correspondence.David | |
| Headphone playback with ultra linear response Here's one man's opinion:http://www.linkwitzlab.com/reference_earphones.htmDisclaimer: I own the Shure E2s and love them, so I tend to agree with Linkwitz...David | |
| 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... | |
| Info wanted on George Wright AU-1000 12BH7 preamp I own a used Wright Sound WLA12A and have corresponded with George a number of times. He is sometimes slow to reply due to his being a very small business, but he is always courteous and helpful when he finds the time. Here's the address I use:inf... | |
| Does size really matter? :- Doug, Raul,I agree completely that many factors (not just one in isolation) need to be considered when choosing a cartridge, but how is stylus size and profile any more or less a technical measurement than cartridge mass, compliance, or output? Al... | |
| Anyone have a stock Rega armstub for a 250/300? Gregory Kerry is selling Rega armstubs right here on A'gon:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtnrm&1144245115 | |
| Well Tempered lab I agree with Focusedfx, the Stanalog fluids are cheap enough that it makes no sense to use anything else. Here's the link:http://store.yahoo.com/stanalog/accessories.htmlI've found George Stanwick to be very helpful when I've had questions about m... | |
| The iPod and the Audiophile I agree with Mapleleafs3. I love my iPod and use it all the time, but it's not up to audiophile standards, and probably never will be. Apple doesn't really want you hooking the iPod up to your home stereo - that's why there's no digital output. Th... | |
| Does size really matter? :- Doug,The pictures certainly dramatize the difference in styli - it's stunning. Are you sure all 4 were done at the same magnification? Based on the revised calculations, I wouldn't expect the visual differences to be so dramatic.David |
