| Which Used CD Player for Under $1,500? I too was looking at the Sim Equinox. It was my goal to do an in home audition with a Jolida JD-100 (I still may). However, as fate (or fortune) may have it I ran into an Alesis Masterlink 9600 CDP, Recorder, and HD unit. This one is a TRL mod and... | |
| Looking for a good pre-amp to mate with Cary V12i Jond,Thanks for the response. Reason I ask is that I have read some posts regarding matching based on whether the amp has a high or low sensitivity rating. My current preamp, about 9 years old now is a N.E.W. P-3 (designed and built by Cary). It h... | |
| Looking for a good pre-amp to mate with Cary V12i Jond,Thanks for your response. I have been following the Supratek discussions on Audiogon and recall seeing a post or two of yours there. The input sensitivity of my Cary is 3.5 volts, would the Herron be a good match in that respect? | |

| Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox Readster,Why do you prefer the modded units? Do you have a preference for Underwood mods or some other shop like Sound Odyssee. It seems a basic mod package might be enough to improve the sound but not enough to dramatically change the unit. Any t... | |
| Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox Kck,The Sim Equinox lists for $2200 I believe. I saw one on here for $1350 but decided against it. They are very good quality players, but my thoughts now are that if I go with Sim I would want the Moon Eclipse, which currently is out of my budget... | |
| Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox Thanks for the responses. It's a tough call on my end. I would be running the Jolida or Sim with the following gear: Cary V12i stereo tube amp, N.E.W. (Cary) P-3 tube pre-amp, Spendor 1/2e speakers. I currently have a Quad-77 cdp and have been tes... | |
| Do I Wanna Adona? I recently purchased the Nemesis amp stand and two platform shelves. I am using the platform shelves on a VTI rack and decoupling them from the frame with sorbothane. First of all let me say this, the service at Adona is excellent. The first Nemes... |
