| Cayin A88T break in and biasing?? Sringle, The new A100 is indeed one beautiful looking amp. The only drawback may be with the image of the 88 tube, which tends to be 'fluffy', that is big on the midrange, but lacking on the ends of the spectrum. I need dynamics across the board, ... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? SAm XZ:"but for the money Jolida is hard to beat"Ever heard of Cayin? A few bucks more and much more the quality. But then again you can get used Jolida real cheap used on audiogon, so if its a tight budget you have then go ahead. But you get what... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Best I heard was Tyler Linbrook Signature System, a Dual 8 for bass, dual 7's for midbass and the finest tweeter, The Millinium. had it all in a good balance. Weakness: none. | |
| Cayin A88T break in and biasing?? 6 Moons has a super review on the A88, so I'm not sure if your comment on "brittle and hard" is justified. I mean my Jadis OR KT90 does have its weakness, but overall its a superb image. No tube amp in the under 2K range will be 'all things". I've... | |
| What happened to all the tube amps? Yes there are about 2X's as many ss amps for sale vs tube.Every yr you'll see that ratio increase, until, however there will eventually be a turning point as lately more tube amps are sold at retail level vs ss amps. There will be upgrades going o... | |
| Question about Druids I hope this is the last ZU thread for a very long time. Been there done that.Not to take away from your inquisitive question you understand.I only read the opening lines to the above posts. thats quite enough. .EOM | |
| What are the advantages of tubes in a CD Player? I recall reading a post, i may have asked the quation, where he said he'd walk with the Cayin 17 and leave the Droplet. Just an opinion. The Droplet 's disadvatage is as Tvad points out. The Cayin offers a quad of 6922's, which I replaced with RCA... | |

| The best CD Player for the money When i finish the last mod on my Cayin 17 , which is to change the caps to Mundorf's midline caps, this unit might blow away the Denon. I think so.Price with mods and new tubes = $2K. BINGO. Lesd tahn your 2500 denon | |
| Good speakers less efficient? I agree most mid to large size speakers suck most amps dry. I just looked at the Tyler Linbrook Signature System, a WMTMW design. Ty rates it at 4 ohms/92 db. I demoed my small Jadis OR with them and had no trouble at all. Which testifies to the s... | |
| Any one ever change a bass driver on a B&W Sig 800 Why would you?Just change speakers. | |
| My Jolida 100 skips even on new cds. How to fix? Man i had heard at least 3 X's here on audiogon that Jolida was garbage.Seems to be the case.My advise is to trash it.I own cayin. | |
| Spendor S8e - Audio Physic Tempo-4 The members think I'm going to fall for the bait.HA!! I fooled yaHAHA | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Because , from my limited experience and a perspective built up over 30 yrs around stereo, eqip that is featured in full page ads and as well featured in the mags reviews, all this eqip tends to be much less than the expectations I had hoped for. ... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? You guys know perfectly what i am implying. The mags are fed by ceratin brands ad $'s and are rewarded with glowing reviews and hype. You know how it all goes around. Most of that stuff highly praised in the mags have never held up to any such cla... |
