| it sounds different... The overload could be in the input of the receiver. Compare the output voltage of the CD player with the input sensitivity of the receiver. I think that CDP is similar to a RCD-971 (I have one of those) without looking at the spec sheet, I think t... | |
| best processor for 50/50 ht/2 channel system My favorite Pre/pro was Bryston's SP1.7. It has NO video switching however. Used mostly for music (80% or better) and 10-20% movies FWIW. I, like Islandflyfisher, dont care for video switching.I auditioned and liked, Sunfire, Integra, and Krell, p... | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ Capnizzy, how did you like the EAD? Dont leave us hanging =). | |
| Rotel 1090, Bryston BP-25 or Krell KRC-3 pre-amp? All the Pre's you mentioned are SS which may not accomplish your goal.A tube Pre may be the best choice for you, tubes can absolutely take an edge off the highs. I found EI 12ax7 tubes to be very laid back. Pre's using 12ax7s or 5751s give a lot o... | |
| Theta Miles against Jolida JD100 I have a Jolida JD-100 and a Theta DSPro basic DAC. Theta's external DACs are very similar, if not better, than the internal DACs. So I feel this is nearly apples to apples.They are both very good. Stock tubes in the Jolida would hand the competit... | |
| component video question? I totally agree with Ruebent. I connect directly from the DVD to the TV via vomponent inputs.If you have on-screen menu's from other gear, like a Pre/Pro, then use a composite additional input on the TV for that.Cleaner sound and video, IMO. | |
| modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima Muralman, its been a pleasure discussing tubes with you and the others in this thread. Thank you, for all the input. I think you hit the nail on the head with the description of the EH tubes. Did you notice any change in imaging or depth with the ... | |
| modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima Thats good info Crgolfer, I havent used Sylvania tubes yet, but I have read that many folks like them. Are the Sylvanias 5751s or 12ax7s?I have been using Vibrapods for isolation and a MIT Zcord power cable. I am thinking of upgrading the PC. Any ... | |
| Sound Card with External DAC If I may make an analogy Boogie, if that were the case, symphonies would only hire Musicians who can read music well and would care less about the ability to actually play the instruments."Reading" the Data is merely the tip of the iceberg. | |
| New Guy asking for help That. Those are used with this. Never the other way around, geez. Great, ceilings are good. On the other side is best. Move along were done here. | |
| My wife is so uncool! "I also told her my stereo will never cost more than her car." Slappy, you're in trouble there. Tsk Tsk.When I gave my girlfriend a ring, a little after, I asked how she liked my dream speakers? She looked blankly around the room at my existing Sp... | |
| modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima Well, as cheap as they are, why noy give 'em a try.I wouldnt go so far as to say favorite, I really like the RCA 5751 black plates, now I am trying some Ei 12ax7ln's I like them as well. "thetubestore.com" has a decent selection of newer manufactu... | |
| modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima I thought I might revist this topic with a follow-up.Just today, I recieved a pair of EI 12ax7ln tubes. Promptly inserted and listened for a while, after warmup of course. These are very nice tubes. I intend to let these stay in place a while. Aft... | |
| Tube ---- Ei 12ax7 Ei 12ax7ln's sound pretty good. I havent put that many hours of listening in yet, but so far I am impressed. They may be a little dry sounding. However, listening to more material is in order before a final opinion. I am impressed with the seperat... | |
| Tube ---- Ei 12ax7 Thanks all.I read some more on these tubes, they claim to be exact Telefunken replicas. It seems the consensus that Ei's have a quality sound but, suffer from erratic microphonics and out-of-the-box failure, but if you get a good one they seem to ... |
