| Jolida JD-9A or Pro-ject Tube Box SE phono preamp? I have been listening to both the Project Tube Box and the Jolida for the last several days and would say that the Tube Box seems to be a little cleaner, more transparent and less bright than the Jolida. The only thing I don't like about the Tube ... | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 Mingles - I really like the Pro-ject RM-5; it sounds superb and is very easy to set up in terms of the overhang, VTA and tracking force. The only negative thing I see about the table is that, after setting the anti-skate, there is a slight tendenc... | |
| Cary 303/300 VS. Resolution Audio Opus 21??? I personally like the Cary. | |
| Rega P25 vs VPI Scout Chazzbo - I have to disagree with your comment; I have a VPI Scout with the JMW-9 arm and have adjusted the VTA while the record is playing; as long as the two allenhead screws at the base of the tonearm are loose you can do this. | |
| Transparency: What speakers have it in spades? My Buggtussel Somu speakers. | |
| Jolida JD-9A or Pro-ject Tube Box SE phono preamp? I just picked up a Pro-ject Tube Box and am looking forward to comparing it with the Jolida. | |
| Quietest amp you ever owned ? I've heard the Red Wine Audio Signature 30 and have to agree it is extremely quiet. Want to get the newest version of the Antique Sound Labs KT88 single-ended tube amp with remote. | |
| Best inexpensive interconnect/speaker cables? Try the Esoteric interconnects sold at Parts Express (part # 186-002). At $24.46 a 1m pair they provide some pretty amazing performance. As far as speaker cables go the Dayton 10 ga. (part # 100-028) is very hard to beat for the price ($38.18 for ... | |
| Tube CD player? I don't have anything against Chinese made equipment myself; for example did you know that the highly acclaimed Cary 303/300 is made in China? | |
| Best sounding phono preamp under $600 Thanks Mark; I don't think I'll bother with the battery power supply for the Phonomena. | |
| Best sounding phono preamp under $600 Simon - thanks for your comments; there's obviously several good phono preamps in the $600 range and lots of opinions on which one is the best. I've seen the Musical Surroundings Phonomena mentioned quite a bit and will probably give it a listen. | |
| Best audio cabinet for people with pets Well after trying to make everything catproof I finally just made up my mind to have the cat declawed; had it done this past Thursday; she was sore through the weekend but as of Tuesday evening she seems to be back to normal. I decided to do this ... | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 Oregon - thanks for your thoughts on the Lenco; I don't think anyone around here has one. Is the Lenco still being made? | |
| Best sounding phono preamp under $600 Forgot to ask Mark if you are running the battery powered version of the Musical Surroundings Phonomena. | |
| Best sounding phono preamp under $600 Thanks Mark; I obviously was not quite awake early this morning when I read your comments. I will definately check out the Musical Surroundings Phonomena and the Denon 103R cartridge. Was hoping to be able to stick with high output moving coils bu... |
