| Anybody into Ben Harper? I recently picked up "There will be a light" - which features Ben Harper with the Blind Boys of Alabama. Absolutley fantastic. I was not familiar with Ben Harper before and bought the CD based on my familiarity with the Blind Boys. I will definite... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers I have used the Jolida 302b with the 5.0's with excellent results and I can highly recommend that combo. I am currently using the 5.0's with a Cary SLI-80 with even better results, but at much greater expense. I'm sure the Prima Luna would be an e... | |
| Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor Thanks for everyones input, including the private e-mails. Looks like I have a lot more research to do. I have had a couple of recommendations to try the Green Mountain Callistos and I find them intriging in this price range. Has anyone compared t... | |
| Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor Kid, thanks for your input. I'm curious, how big is your listening room? I have previously e-mailed Bobby at Merlin and he felt the SLI-80 would drive the TSM fine in my room. I am intrigued by the Merlin, but they are at the high end of my budget... | |
| opinions please on Tung Sol 6550 vs JJ kt88's I've had my SLI-80 for a couple of months and so far have tried the EH KT88's and the SED KT88's. Contrary to what appears to be the norm, I prefer the SED's. In my setup they are a little smoother (laidback?) and, as a result, provided more pleas... | |
| How do I go backwards? Your health and financial well being are the most important things to consider in this equation. Therefore, I would sell the whole packaage and go 180 degrees in the other direction. Wait a few months until the sonic memory of your current system ... | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? Four to debate whether they should replace the bulb now, or wait for the introduction of the newfangled light bulb recently previewed in The Absolute Light.One to advise that the light from the bulb looked much brighter in the store that at home. | |
| Why are big speakers in small rooms bad? Distortion, I am very interested is the outcome of your Soliloquy experiment. I have an 11 X 21 room that is divided by columns that forces me to use the 11' wall for placement. I have the Soliloquy 5.0's, but have been debating on upgrading to th... | |
| Hum from new Jolida 502B-Help Is yours a stock unit? I didn't think the 502b had pre-outs. Does the hum come from both speakers or just one side? | |
| advice on hiding cables I've always wondered why cable manufacturers don't use neutral colored jackets instead of black or other bold colors. | |
| looking for tube recommedations for Cary SLI-80 I recently purchased a SLI-80 and picked up some Sylvania 6sn7's and Amperex 6dj8's at Tubedepot.com and they sound great. I am using EH KT88's in place of the 6550's. They sound great, but I haven't really rolled the power tubes enough at this po... | |

| Jolida JD-100 Mini Mod? IMO, the only thing that may be considered a "mod" in the package you describe is the jack and output wire replacement. The other changes are isolation and damping "tweaks" that you can yourself in a variety of ways. I agree with the suggestion of... | |
| Jolida 302B with B&W Natalius 804 Nabil98, I note your post doesn't identify your preferred music, or related components, so I can only assume that you have determined that a tube amp would be complimentary. That having been said, the 302b is a great introduction to tubes and ridi... | |
| Simple guitar songs for beginning musician Gillian Welch - tab for most of the songs off of her "Revival" album can be found via a Google search. These are really cool songs that use common chords (you will need a capo)and simple structure. BTW, her sideman, David Rawlings, is a great guit... |
