| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx I so often see comments about power and watts. Watts do not equate to quality. First consider the power requirements of speakers, and the sensitivity of the speakers. One would not want to connect a 200wpc amp to a pair of Cornwall III speakers no... | |
| Rega Brio R bright??? i have read many comments about it sounding too bright, even after hours ofbreak in. I can assure you that a Jolida JD102CRC amp, or JD301BRC with level on upgrade will sound better- comment after comment on Jolida amps- no listening fatigue. I se... | |
| Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3 I sell Jolida, and Klipsch. Been messing with audio gear for years. The Heresy III speakers really only need about 5wpc to drive to any reasonable volume. Lower powered amps always sound the smoothest. Back in the day most of the best gear- Marant... | |
| Jolida Reliability I bought a JD202A amp years ago. It served me well. I loved the sound. After 8 years I had to replace a resistor. No problem. At the time a friend and I had been selling vintage gear. We decided to ask Jolida to let us be dealers since we both lik... | |
| jolida vs. ASL I am a dealer for Jolida, Klipsch, and Music Hall. The initial Jolida models had some quality issues. That has been quite a few years ago. They have changed factories, and have improved quality as well as quality control- so a JD202A amp would not... | |
| Jolida Reliability I have been owning, and selling Jolida gear for years now. At least 10. Always been happy with the sound, build, service, and reliability. The gear sounds great. All of my customers have been very happy. No complaints from them, nor from me. Mysel... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III this may not be helpful to you, but for others please let them know that Petery-Hedden Co. stocks Cornwall III and Heresy III speakers along with some Jolida tube amplifiers. those sound great together. In the Louisville, Ky. area. www.petery-hedd... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 The Cornwall speakers are very classy in a traditional way. Nice finish on the cabinets. And the sound is smooth and detailed. Better resale. While some people do not like the horn sound I find that horns are realistic. Klipsch speakers do provide... | |
| Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated vs. Rogue's Sphinx the sphinx weighs 25 lbs. compared to the 1501s 32 lbs. the 1501 is upgradable. and anyone serious about listening to vinyl might want to consider an external phono preamp. on board phono amps are usually not too great. jolida has a really nice one. | |
| CAV-50 and 804 Diamonds for most B&W speakers one needs a powerful SS amp. For a nice tube amp one should have some really nice efficient speakers. Vintage Klipsch are nice- Fortes, Cornwalls. I say vintage because you can save some money if you do that. I got some n... | |
| Review: Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum Tube amp I have been considering a Cayin A-50T or Rogue Audio Cronus. Anyone heard both? There are not stores in this area that sell high end gear of any kind. No stereo stores in all of Louisville area. There is a Rogue Audio dealer in Indianapolis. Thanks. | |
| Review: Jolida JD-302b Tube amp The 302 is a sweet, clean sounding amp. the gear has undergone many improvements since original models. And there are upgrades. One can upgrade caps and resistors and diodes and even wiring. Jolida can do it. Many people do this stuff themselves. ... | |
| JoLida 502b suitable for computer stereo system? the current model 502CRC is a powerful amplifier. it does not have a built in DAC. It is best anyway to have an external dac. built in dacs are usually not that good. the Jolida FX DACIII is nice, but you are trying to build a great system with a ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? in my own personal experience I have to say Advent 6003 speakers are best I have had. I bought a pair new in 1985 or 86. I first took home a pair of the large, 2 way Advents with the fried egg tweeter. my wife insisted on the 3 way speakers. we re... | |
| Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre I just got an FX DACIII with factory upgrade. I got a good quality toslink fiber optic cable. I have been around for a good while. I have listened to a lot of stuff. This sounds better than any record or turntable I have ever heard. though I have ... |
