''Manuf. warranty '' with non-authorized vendor ?
"hmm wonder just how much audigon inventory is circulationg around that originated from unauthorized resellers?I hope someone with more expertise in this area would say something, as most of this is speculation on my part."I think most audiogoners... 
''Manuf. warranty '' with non-authorized vendor ?
Simply answer is "NO". If the seller is an unauthorized vendor, you can pretty much gurantee that the manufacturer is going to be very hesitant about doing warrenty work. The reason why is that manufactuer is going to wonder, just where did the se... 
How should you treat your tubes?
With my tube amp I have a "four hours" rule. Which is, if I'm going to go back listening within "four hours" I leave the amp on. Truth is, when I know I'm going to be listening I turn the amp on for 10 - 15 minutes before hand to warm the tubes up... 
Jolida JD700 vs Jolida JD100A
Foster,Thank you for your input. Actually I sent Bill Baker at Response Audio an email about this about week or so ago, but as of yet haven't heard back from him (my guess Bill is either busy, or on vacation, as he's usually pretty good about gett... 
Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions?
"You must have missed his allusion to another speaker which wasn't mentioned by the thread initiator."Yeah, I did notice he mentioned the LSA monitors (which he sells), and their similarities with both OML-1 and the VR-1. But "so what", that's not... 
Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions?
Jpstereo,Here's a link to review that compared the OML-1 to VR-1. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/audiophileaudition/0704/mofiolm1.htmI've never heard, the OML-1, but have heard the VR-1, which I liked. In reading the review, it appears that the revi... 
Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions?
Audiofeil,I read Audiooracle intial responds about the OML-1 and I didn't get the impression that he was trying to sell anything. Matter of fact the impression I got was that he was trying to give Jpstereo a "point of reference" in regards to the ... 
Jolida 502A - Other owners, what speakers?
Hey Bill,I was considering going with Usher, but unfortunately, the nearest dealer I could find was in Richmond, Va (a 100 miles away, one way) and he himself was having problems with getting speakers from Usher (some sort of problems with Customs...

You're welcome, Bill and thank you for sharing your audio experiences and knowledge not only here on Audiogon but also on other audio sites. I've learned quite a bit from your postings.Anyway, back to subject at hand. Recently have retired my old ... 
Jolida 502A - Other owners, what speakers?
Mskeen,Haven't heard the 502a and Usher combination you mention, but I would think they would sound very well together. Perhaps you might want to sent an email to Bill Baker at Respond Audio asking him this question. Bill is well known for his "mo... 
Jolida 502A - Other owners, what speakers?
Well I'm semi-retired, but I'm running an old pair of BA A-60s with my 502A. Of course, I'm looking for something better (especially since I blew a tweeter Saturday (wonder how hard it'll be to find a replacement)). Truth is, I'm seriously conside... 
Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener
Seadweller,Haven't heard the RC-Minis that you bought, but have heard and liked the RC-10s which is the next step up in the Energy's Reference Connoisseur line. This line is a redesign and a big step up from Energy's popular Connoisseur line of sp...

What is better than Bose but costs less?
Agree with Invincible, in that the person asking this question needs to step away from the Best Buys and Circuit Cities and visit some "mid-fi" types of stores. Most of these stores nowadays mostly deal in home theater, but nevertheless carry some...
