| Jolida Hybrid vs. NAD or Rotel I owned a NAD 720BEE. I sold it last year. I now have a Jolida JD302 BRC (the latest model with factory upgrades and little gold logo on the faceplate) as well as a LFD Zero LE MkIII. Nice to have the option of SS or tube when the mood strikes you... | |
| Compact 7ES-3 Thanks. I am happy with my lowly Jolida. My neighbor is happy with his McIntosh gear. I suspect he will be back on the component merry-go-round before me, for that is his MO for consumer goods from washing machines to automobiles. He wanted me to ... | |
| Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker Alan Shaw of Harbeth seems to have pretty firm opinions on audiophiles ruminating about this or that amplifier, this or that speaker cable(s), bi-wiring, mono-amps, and big power output with Harbeth's. Anyway, what does he know? He just designs them. | |
| Groove Tubes GT-6CA7-GE vs NO GE and NOS Sylvania Elevick:I have not been able to locate a matched quad of Groove Tubes GT-6CA7-GE. Only the GT EL34-M is currently available, and even some of these are now being sold by new GT owner Fender with stickers on the glass rather than the original impri... | |
| Re: Story about Ringo "Plus he landed Barbara Bach for a wife... not too shabby!"Being one of the Beatles he could have landed practically any eligible (and many ineligible) women anywhere. Ringo was a more than competent pop drummer who, with all the means to screw-up... | |
| Sam Cook "you really cannot go wrong with ANYTHING Sam Cooke recorded"agree 100%, but what CD release(s) have the best sound quality in a decent audio system? I'm not setup for vinyl playback )O: | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? I meant "Bron-Yr-Aur" obviously. Oy! my spelling leaves a lot to be desired. | |
| What budget integrated for 2-channel A/V gear? I swore off Sony (except the PS3) products after several of their products failed (one six months after warranty expired, and another under warranty). I remember the Sony Japanese-built quality from the Trintron TV's (and other Sony stuff I owned ... | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? We are old-er Mapman. The mirror doesn't lie, but human nature being what it is, we see ourselves differently than others who see us (o:Best 1990's live shows I saw were James Brown at the Hollywood Bowl and The Boston Symphony with Seji Ozawa con... | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? Chashmal:Lou ReedYes. Sort-a. I still must go back to Reed circa Velvet Underground (the banana LP with Nico) which was really a stunner for the times. Some say Sgt.Pepper captured the times, but I say the banana LP did better. The banana LP was t... | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? I know this will piss off plenty of aging boomers, but here goes: I heard Led Zeppelin live three times back in the 70's. I went through my youthful guitar god worship phase as did many other baby boomers who got hooked for awhile on white redo's ... | |
| What is the affect of cd player? Missioncoonery:"I'll take great speakers in an average system all day long.."I agree. Being neither a fat inheritance/trust fund child, or an orthopedic surgeon, most of my system dollars went into the speakers. | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? This discussion is interesting. I've read more than a few posts that suggest a tube preamp brings some warmth to a system using the Dac1. Perhaps this is a naive question, but would a integrated tube amplifier + Dac1 have a similar warmth as a sys... | |
| Fabrication of a triode Copy above link into your browser to see the creation of a triode valve/tube. | |
| What budget integrated for 2-channel A/V gear? I did say used - right? Nothing against Nad or CA per se, had components from both in past. Want to try another brand. |
