| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? i own a JoLida 502A that is heavily modified (see my bedroom system for details) - hardly anything in there is original. Without modification the 502A is a dark amp, has wooly bass (could be an effect of the used winged-C 6550 tubes) & slightl... | |
| Do people don't care or don't know? Andy2,there are so many hobbies to pursue that people select whatever suits their fancy. For all we know, right now, there could be somebody lamenting, like you, on a wood-working hobby forum saying that hobbist wood-workers are a dying breed &... | |
| CAT vs VTL Sound i read this in another thread here on Audiogon or on AA - people seem to be under the impression that power amp wattage should be matched to the speaker for volume of (heard) sound at the listening chair!Man, are such people ill informed or what (... | |
| CD Player volume control >>yes, I realize feeding directly into the amp is the best way to go, but cannot afford that now)warren, this is NOT a forgone conclusion! I 3rd Arni & C123666.From my experience the CDP needs to have sufficient o/p voltage to drive a po... | |

| Is this a logical break in technique? willhiteb@bellsouth.net,"There can't possibly be a "permanence" to the initial break-in source..."My initial post tried to say exactly that but I wrote it in a diff way - I wrote "memory-less", if you remember? Anyway, looks like we are saying the... | |
| Is this a logical break in technique? willhiteb@bellsouth.netyou are correct - deep bass to loosen the woofer surround. other signals to break-in the xover & mid & tweeter surrounds.Nobody is arguing THIS point. In fact, we are beyond this point.what the originator of this thr... | |
| Is this a logical break in technique? Aball wrote: "From the stand point of triboelectric noise theory, the answer to the question is "yes," the systems would break-in differently and sound different since the electromagnetic fields of the signals will be changing the domain spins of ... | |
| Does Conrad Johnson 17LS match Threshold T400? like the other members have written - it depends on what YOU value. True the prices you quoted for the 2 used items are nearly $2K each but........they are w-a-y down from what a new product costs. You are getting some of the better electronics fo... | |
| Your Top 5 Sax Players? Cincy_bob's list is pretty extensive & he's covered ALMOST all my favourite sax players. I'd like to add one more - Art Pepper. On a much lighter note I do like Clarence Clemmons (who used to play in Bruce Springsteen's E-street Band) & al... | |
| reco's on people willing to do audio kit assembly my gosh! you bought a phono kit from K&K Audio & you didn't ask Kevin himself to put it together for you??? He's the best at doing this esp. for his DIY kits! I had him put together my step-up (which is also available as a kit but, like yo... | |
| Best Of 6550/KT88 Tubes Under $100/pair Thanks for the info Rainchild. You are correct that this info is very amp specific. I own a JoLida 502A which has been heavily modified component-wise. I also use used old-stock input & driver tubes.I have not heard the PrimaLuna nor this part... | |

| Tannoy D700 - Anyone reworked the crossovers? well, you might want to search the SpeakerAsylum sub-forum of AudioAsylum. I found 1 small thread there but I got several hits for this speakerhttp://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=speakers&n=184008&highlight=tannoy+d700&r=&ses... | |
| Wattgate 381 outlet:any comments from the owners? well, I had the PS Audio Juice bar which had the PS Audio power ports in them. 6 of them to be precise i.e. 3 duplexes. I can tell you that they sound like total & utter sh**!In my system, the PS Audio power ports made the sound very brittle &... |
