| Audio space galaxy 88 I went to an expo in Guangzhou and I listen to the galaxy 88 and some of their more expensive gear. I thought it sounded really nice. It was one of the better sounding rooms at the show. IMHO. I can't tell you how it matches up to Rouge, Cary or M... | |
| Considering Eastern Electric M156 Monoblock Amps They look like nice amps. I would only have one reservation and that is the EL-156. I don't think you will be able to try any NOS or other brands? I don't see many of them. But if you don't care about that? I would guess not many own these amps? T... | |
| Amp Hum I think Jim has given you some very good advice. Your amp is older and there is a good chance the electrolytic capacitors in the power need replacing. Follow his advice first. | |
| journey,destination,endpoint? I think my journey will end when I reach the point where it began.I will decipher that response. When I was a young guy I bought my first nice system. Hafler amp and preamp, JBL L150A speakers and a Denon turntable. I listened to music for the pur... | |
| advice need on peachtree decco 2 vs hybrid jolida Being that your speakers have 97db sensitivity why don't you think about using a smaller tube amp. Why are these two amps your only choices? Just curious! | |
| What equipment uses 5687 tubes? They can be used in the Aikido line stage/headphone amp.http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/aik9pindualm.htmlVery nice sounding line-stage. | |
| Tube Rolling -Input vs. Output tubes Tube rolling can be fun and make you a little crazy at times. Both input and output tubes make a difference. For me the output tubes have a greater effect. But they are usually more expensive. | |
| jolida of china v. jolida of maryland? Both are made in China. So if your looking to buy American look elsewhere. Jolida was originally made by Shenda in Shanghai. There is talk on the forums about it. | |
| Best China made super integrated amplifiers I have Vandy's as well and thought about going the same direction as you. I went and listen to both the Jungson and the Xindak when I was shopping in Guangzhou. Both amps had excellent fit and finish. But I could never listen to them with my speak... | |
| Onix A-120MKII Gets hot fast. Current capability isn't something you can check per-say. A good indication of an amp's current capability is how much power it has at 8 ohm's say 200watt and close to 400 watts into 4ohms. This is not an exact way of checking but it is a good ind... | |
| Onix A-120MKII Gets hot fast. I'm not familiar with your speakers but it sounds like your amp is going into protect mode. Reading a review here http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue20/onyxrs550.htmthey had some problems driving Theil 2.2's. It may just be reaching it's power ... | |
| Any JBL L150A users out there? Thanks Krelladdict, That may of just been how it was marketed at the time. I just remember that as one of it's attributes. I sold them in around 87. One thing to mention. The woofers had to be repaired under warranty. The rubber rotted and had to ... | |
| Any JBL L150A users out there? I bought a pair of those in the early 80's overseas on an Air Force base. I think they only sold the walnut version? I sure had some nice parties with those:) Titanium dome tweeter. | |
| more sound in left channel than right channel? I would swap the left and right RCA coming into the amp first. If the sound is still louder on the right than it's not your source. Checking bias is always a good thing and if you haven't done it I would. If that doesn't do it try signal tubes fi... | |
| jolida volume control The Jolida is basically an amp with a volume control built in. Some people like to add an active preamp to the unit and bypass the volume control. I did this to my 502 and like it better. Opinions will vary. |
