Amp for new Meadowlark Krestel 2's ?
Good info guys. Jolida recommended re-biasing the tubes, didn't help. Seems to be tied into my electric circuits in my apt, my ceiling lights are controlled with a dimmer switch. Turn it down or off and the humm gets quieter but not gone. This did... 
Amp for new Meadowlark Krestel 2's ?
Thanks, I played with the cables last night to no avail. I have my sub hooked up to the pre outs and it sends hum to the sub also. It was suggested to carefully wiggle each tube that perhaps one of those is the culprit. My first experience with tu...

Got the Jolida finally. At first impression I like it, very heavily built. I get an annoying hum though, any ideas?Thanks

Timrhu, I sure will. Looking forward to this experiment. Now, I'm wondering how my Marantz DV 9500 will blend.

Thanks for the input. Well, took the plunge and ordered a Jolida 502B. First attempt at tubes, I hope it's worth it. I've read nothing but good things about this amp, so time will tell. 
Marantz DV 9500 vs Cary DVD 6
I've heard nothing but good things about Cary products. SACD titles, pretty lame. I visit Best Buy, same titles, day after day. I'm not a real classic music fan so I'm further behind the 8 ball. I think the format is stagnant at best.

Thanks, tubes have made me nervous because of reliablity etc. I read good things about the sound though. Especially Jolida amps which seem to be a bargain. Hmm, the search continues. 
Speaker advise needed
Ordered the Aeriusi, they have new upgraded panels. We shall see, should have them by 3/24. Thanks for the input. 
Speaker advise needed
Thanks, just packed my Mirage OM5's, talk about work! My girlfriends pissed so i must move fast on new speakers. I 'm leaning towards ML Aerius but the lack of bass is a concern to me.

Thanks, I've pretty much written off the Maggies as they are placement critical from what I've read. My short list now includes Martin Logan Aerius i's. Any input on these? Haven't listened to Tyler's. I live in upstate ny so I rely on Audiogon, T... 
Integrated amp advice needed...
Oh, I've never gone the tube route. Issues for me are reliability and lack of power. My current OM5's like their power.

Great input guys. I've owned Mac before, great stuff. My listening tastes are electric blues mostly, a healthy dose of classic rock(Tull, Deep Purple) and some occasional big band swing. I thought about Panache, darned if it isn't pedestrian looki... 
Marantz DV-9500: Anyone Listened to it or Bought?
Hey, just recently received my new one and must say it is the nuts! I really can't find any weaknesses and video quality is superb. Marantz has had terrific video qualities and this tops them all. I was concerned about redbook cd playback ( I have...
