| Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ? I should also say that I've owned the 502B, and have heard the Stingray extensively. Neither have bass that approaches the Prima Hybrid. Not even the CJ 140 had as much bass as the Prima. This is one amazing amplifier! | |
| Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ? Excuse me for adding to your list, but I am using an Audio Aero Prima Hybrid amp with the Prima CDP, and if you want that tube warmth with a tight, punchy bass, I've yet to find a better combination. For rock, classic rock, and blues, you would be... | |
| Jolida 100 vs Eastern Minimax If you can spend that much, you might instead look at Cary, Naim, Muse, or the sort. I replaced my JD-100 with an Audio Aero Prima, and could not be happier.The Jolida is an excellent player, but if you are willing to spend $1500 you can get bette... | |
| Surge Protection for the House Thank you for the suggestion, Shasta.Howard | |
| Best excuse for playing loud music? My best friend's mother claimed that listening on headphones would lead to marijuana use. So he bought her the LP "Who's Next" for Christmas, and we listened to it as loud as possible in order to quell her worries that we might be slipping into du... | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs Audiomeca Obsession 11 The only 'problem' I've had with my Prima is that it exposed the shortcomings of other components in my system. So that said, I've upgraded those as well, and will not be looking for another CDP for a long time. The Prima is phenomenal. | |
| Broke and still not happy I definitely second and third the suggestion to try different cables. I nearly took a pair of speakers back yesterday until I started changing interconnects. With the right combination, they went from sounding distant and uninvolving to being abso... | |
| Silverline Sonata II or Sonatina II Now I can answer from specific experience, because I just picked up a pair of Sonata II's today. Holy moly, as my brother says. They are absolutely incredible. The person I bought them from had the Sonatina II's and said they sound quite thin in c... | |
| CD player for under $2,000 I am VERY happy with the warmth and fluidity of the Audio Aero Prima. | |
| The music companies do something wrong I will say that for anyone interested, my dad will burn you a CD of the pop band I used to drum with: Girl with 100 Heads. Now THAT you can have for free. Hey, we were voted the best unsigned band in the northwest by the readers of a prominent mus... | |
| The music companies do something wrong Bicycles are also too expensive for young people to afford. And cars. Though I'm quite certain that if we could transmit them cleanly, as in white collar electronic form, we would find a way to justify their theft as well. If a photographer's imag... | |
| Silverline Sonata II or Sonatina II Sorry, I cannot answer about the MK II versions of those speakers, so I don't know if this will help. But seeing as how no one has responded, here goes...I heard the Sonata III and Sonatina III at length during a visit to Silverline HQ here in nor... | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A Hey, thanks Rx8man. As I said, I don't do audiospeak too well, but hopefully my 'review' gave a clear impression of what the respective players sound like. And I like both of them a lot. | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A Both beautiful states IMO. Can't wait to hear your impressions of the Prima.All the best,Howard | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A Definitely let us know what you think, Maineiac. From your user ID, it would appear that you live in Maine, yes?Whereabouts?Enjoy the Prima. Congratulations! |
