| Which cable to change first-intercon. or speaker? I upgraded the ICs first in my recent overhaul. Basically the ICs deliver the music from source to preamp to amp. Once I replaced them I got a good idea of what my speaker cables could deliver. I ended up replacing them but the important thing was... | |
| Do I need power conditioning I presently use a PS Audio P300 for source gear and have enjoyed it. Now I'm going to try out a Richard Gray 400 Pro and Running Springs Audio Haley to compare. The knock on the P300 has been that it is taking 1800 watts and squeezing it to 300 wa... | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B Have you tried talking to Brendan Biever at Tube World? He has Jolida amps and is pretty knowledgable about NOS tubes for them. I don't own a Jolida, but when I dealt with him he helped me out with my Cary and in the course of normal conversation ... | |

| audio mirror dac Jman66,Try the Flavor 4, I think you'll like it. If not, send it back during the trial period. Chris used his cable cooker to burn mine in so it was ready to go. Seems RidgeStreet is having a sale, I have the VH Audio Pulsar, but I'd like to try s... | |
| audio mirror dac Jman66,100 hours or so burn-in, but it will sound pretty good out of the box. Mine is on 300 hours now and is sounding unreal. I am definitely getting another one. Let me know how the pre-amp sounds.What digital cable and PC are you settling on? | |
| audio mirror dac Tom,What are you using as an output from your computer HD to the D1? I just bought a Red Wine Audio USB Select based on the M-Transit. I'm having Vinnie modify it so it doesn't have an analog stage or analog outputs. Just the USB and a BNC/RCA dig... | |
| I know I have lost my mind and have gone insane Zilla,I was curious to try something like this as well. What type of boards did you use? Any paricular placement on the boards? I have seen the Michael Green products and it seems that based on how you spread things out you can manipulate the soun... | |
| Jolida J100, Shanling CDT100, or 640C with DAC? Aball,The two Jolida JD-100s I tested had stock and Svetlana tubes. I know from reading the threads these aren't necessarily the best, but I took that into consideration in comparing the player to the D1. I had the Sim here at the same time and th... | |

| Can HI FI components really make music? Get the Bose, and with the money you save you can attend a lot of live performances. On a more serious note, I like the way music sounds live myself. I'm always seeking that type of ambience in the sound of my system. I have several DAT recordings... | |
| audio mirror dac I am using a TRL modified Alesis ML9600. It is actually a CDP, CD-R, and HD storage system used in professional recording (2 channel). It has a lot of mixing and editing features. I use the digital stage only as this is where the mods were done. S... | |
| Jolida J100, Shanling CDT100, or 640C with DAC? Entrope,Very good thought and one that influenced my decision. There is such a thing as too much warmth. | |
| The Cable Company - Wow I'm still wondering why after speaking to them and giving them all the information they requested it's been 2 weeks since they told me they would get back to me. Business is either booming or I'm dealing with one of the less than spirited employee... |
