| Copper vs. Silver interconnects I've been thinking about trying the AU24's, as I've only heard great things about them. Thank you all for the feedback. All of the cables you mentioned will be on my list to try.All the best,Howard | |

| Tube equipment reviews No kidding, Unclejeff. We put a Siemens 6922 in our Audio Aero Prima hybrid amp, and my wife asked what happened that it sounds so good. We swapped the stock Edicron 6922's for NOS Siemens in our Audion amp, and the Siemens lent an immediacy and l... | |
| JD100 - can I do better under $2K I have to say that Readster's high end CDP choices are stellar. At the same time, I've heard a number of players that outperform the Jolida under the 5K mark, and selecting one is simply a matter of sonic preference. The Audio Aero Prima is a phen... | |
| Tube equipment reviews You hit the nail on the head, Mprime. To draw conclusions about a $4000 amp with stock $20 tubes is unwittingly biased, IMO. It shortchanges the listener from what a particular component is truly capable of doing. Just read all of the reviews here... | |
| JD100 - can I do better under $2K I jumped from the JD-100A to an Audio Aero Prima in search of that resolution. This player is a significant jump up from the Jolida.Many like the Cary players as well. I've not heard them.Good luck!Howard | |
| Placement for Soliloquy speakers You can ask Soliloquy directly, but they told me that the degree of toe-in will effect the bass response of their speakers. And I found this to be true. I settled on approximately 10-15% of toe-in. I also had the speakers at least 2.5 feet from th... | |
| DK-Girl In The Other Room, anyone heard it? Just walk into any high-end audio store these days and you'll hear it. It's excellent. Song number 5 has some great drum work, and song number 9 really hits me in the gut. | |
| Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ? Saki70, I've been using the Hybrid Amp with 89db speakers, and I can't turn the amp past 10 o'clock--and that's when listening to Tool. You would have ample power, I'm sure.It makes such a great combo with the Prima CDP.The newest Prima Hybrid amp... | |

| Jolida 100 vs Eastern Minimax Hi Craig,Good to hear from you!Howard | |
| Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ? Restock,I should have said the same as far as running away with Saki70's thread. Hopefully, all of these peripheral comments will be useful to him/her.With your Jolida, I might suggest getting an NOS tube for your 12AX7's: Mullard, Telefunken, or ... | |
| Has someone imposed a speed limit on jazz? Thanks, Mr. T. I'll have to check out that group.I really didn't mean to single out/bash Charlie Hunter. I've seen him previously in a small club, and he was quite good. Maybe I just need to watch The Enforcer again. I cried so hard when Tyne took... | |
| Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ? Rene,I've heard the Unico at length, both at a (nearly) local dealer, as well as at a friend's house. He had replaced the stock tube with a Telefunken, while the dealer was playing the amp completely stock. I was also listening with my wife on all... | |
| Has someone imposed a speed limit on jazz? Ejlif,Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will be out of town next Monday, but I'll have to check the Jazz House schedule for future shows. I'm sure that with anything, you just have to dig a bit. So that's what I'll do!Howard |
