| Tube ---- Ei 12ax7 Thanks Newbee =)I should have gone on to mention that the particular Ei's are actually ECC83 Low Noise, I believe there is some differentiation from the regular Ei's. (tube designation 12ax7ln)I have heard that Ei has had some problems with QC as ... | |

| modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima Just for the experience maybe you should plug in some of the tubes I seem to be drawn to. You couldnt be more right about the system components and the tubes synergy.Here is a link to a spot were you can buy them The Tube Store.They(EH 12ax7eh's)a... | |
| 1s are 1s, 0s are 0s, right? Well it seems we agree for the most part that changes in transport, cabling, etc, can/do have an effect on sound.Just recently I purchased a Jolida JD-100. A fine sounding unit BTW. I had been using a Rotel RCD-971. Also a fine unit. Comparing the... | |
| A Tough Question Ditto that Al, I am going to watch "unforgiven" again as my girlfriend hasnt seen it.I cant even remember that line from Brad P., I must admit that I dont remember much about that movie at all, except that I have zero interest in seeing it again.A... | |
| modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima My vintage RCA 5751 black plates arrived yesterday I installed them ASAP, warmed it all up about 5 hours and had a listening session. The BP5751's have more solid adn immediate bass, acceptable dynamics, they seem a little more reserved in the mid... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Amen Arthur. I imagine this post will make it past the moderators since the one were I said how I really feel didnt.I auditioned quite a few speakers and I bought what sounded best to me as well. Furthermore, B & W obviously has many products ... | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ Ears, the parasound manual, which is at my house so I cant reference it at the moment, explains that only one input bypasses the DSP and that was Multichannel. All other inputs, balanced or SE, pass through the DSP. Tone(trim) adjustsments are han... | |
| A Tough Question Nrchy, I'll see him for a few weeks in october. Yunno that time when the grass is dying down but before the leaves fall, 'cause once they do, his place will be armpit deep in fallen foliage. | |
| modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima I love it. I have about 110 hours on it, although some said it would take a while to burn in, I found it very pleasing at about 60 hours. I have been using EH 12ax7eh's and really like them, vocals are awesom. Decay is sweet. A very black backgrou... | |
| A Tough Question Good lord "alcoholism" is quite serious, surely you cant be comparing an audio hobby with "alcoholism."Maybe I am wrong about the Hamburger, but until I start eating audio gear for sustenance, awww never mind.Disengenious or not, you need to have ... | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ Ears, I have multiple sources, so being limited to one input was not an option. I found on a previous Rotel Processor that I liked the analog pass of the 5.1 input, and from that rose the conundrum, CD player? DAC? SACD 5.1? or SACD 2 channel? I d... | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ I didnt audition the Parasounds. I found once I read up on them that I had a few nitpicks. That and I dont have a dealer nearby. My first nitpick was S/N ratio in analog mode, only 98db. Second was, all inputs flow through the DSP. Its a fine DSP,... | |
| A Tough Question This is a light subject, there really is no right or wrong. I may have overstepped, getting to serious, and for that I apologize. Sometimes I get too wound up. I certainly understand we all feel enslaved by our desires from time to time.I prefer a... | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ Capnizzy, I forgot to ask in my earlier post. How do you like the EAD so far? I have heard all good things about them. |
