Jolida JD100. How good is it?
Rkt008, please come back and let us know how you like the Sylvania's sound. 
How does the Rotel RSP-1066 sound?
Two channel---ratings-----First through third, is a toss up between Sunfire, Classe, and Krell. They are all good. Fourth goes to B & K, and fifth to Rotel. I thought Rotel's DD/DTS were very acceptable. The ergonomics were top notch as well.U... 
Tweeter replacement recommendations
Thanks for the info Eldulcesol. I placed the order with Partsexpress just before posting. They do have a full refund return policy. If the Morels dont cut it, I can always return them. 
Jolida JD100. How good is it?
Milindks, its my pleasure. I tried the JAN GE 5751s with green lettering(grey plates). Not my cup of tea either. I bet that modded player sounds awesome.Maybe I wont try the Svets. What about the new production Sovteks, anybody have any experience... 
Tweeter replacement recommendations
Thanks again Clueless, I submit that you are not nearly as clueless as your name may suggest. =) That was a great link.I have chosen a Morel MDT-29 1-1/8" soft dome. The FS is 900hz and it appears to a good match for the 2nd order 2.3khz crossover... 
Jolida JD100. How good is it?
Yeap. Here are two current production tubes.EI 12ax7ln's sound pretty good, laid back highs, smooth mids, nice edge, tight bass.EH 12ax7's sound good as well, laid back but not as much as the EIs, very very smooth mids, a little less attack, decen...

Mine sounded great outta the box as well. It absolutely gets better with time! and tubes too!!!Enjoy.....its an outstanding value. 
ARC LS3 surround sound???
Your nuts, but dont listen to me =). Yes, two volumes, but only when using surround modes.Seriously you can research this easily here at A'gon by searching for "unity gain, processor loop, or HT bypass." What about the hum, any luck? 
Choosing Paradigm reference 40's v 2&3, 60's v 2&3
V2 and V3 are sonically very similar. The v3s may be a bit smoother where the v2 a little more forward in the treble. The 40s image better than the 60s but obviously have less authority at the bottom. All the Studio series offer a lot for the mone... 
Tweeter replacement recommendations
Those are good suggestions, thanks so much.I opened up the enclosure and removed the tweeter last night. It is surely dead. The crossover is very minimal. A small, but well constructed coil, and a single cap. No board, nothing fancy, anchored to t...

My ears were itching all day, I should have known it was you =). Tube rolling is awesome I have enjoyed it immensly, and like everything else, tube choice is so very system dependent. 
Jolida JD100. How good is it?
Rkt008, I have used the RCA 5751 black plates, I like 'em. I just did another tube shootout this past weekend. The RCA 5751s sound great, just a smidge more highs than the EH12ax7s. Depending on your system and room they may be just what the docto... 
Mysterious hum in system...
First, Try what Rwwear said. Coax can be very "dirty." Personally I dont even let the coax cable get close to my audio stuff, much less route it through a piece.Secondarily, I am unsure technically, where is Sean when you need 'em, but it could ve... 
Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$
That was a great review. I really need to give the EAD stuff a listen. Thanks Cap. 
SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD
Irishdog, I could be mistaken but...I thought that multi-channel SACD was only going to be derived from multi-channel sources and 2 channel from 2 channel sources. i.e. not creating multi-channel from 2 channel sources. But I digress, I cant remem...
