Lowthers - Please educate a village idiot...
Well I really dont know what to tell you about your audio needs.But I couldnt let this thread pass by.I really admire what you are doing for Uncle, and it touched my heart. Some folks live an entire life without passion. Personally I feel a life w... 
modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima
Muralman1, you can check the system at the link below. All SS with metal dome tweeters, I like my highs.Currently the Theta DAC gets the workload, the Jolida is at least equivalent as a transport to the Rotel currently in use. No worries there, I ... 
modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima
Well I broke down and plan on buying a JD-100.I intend to audition, in home, several tubes, EH 12AX7, NOS 5751, and stock. I will use an MIT powercord, Sorbothane or Vibrapod feet, and several ICs. I dont have any silver RCA ICs, only copper, but ... 
modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima
From what I have learned/read Dan Wright does some fantastic work. I talked on the phone once with him and he is an absolute joy to converse with. Very knowledgable and he seems genuinly interested in YOUR needs.Since I changed my ICs on my DAC (T...

As far as the Jolida is concerned.Which tubes would improve the highs the most without much sacrifice elsewhere? 
Center Channels sound crappy
I rarely use my center channel when listening to music.But when I do, I prefer the "DTS:NEO 6 MUSIC" setting, with my center physically about 1 foot behind the front L/R plane and the Delay set 2 feet further back. e.g. 12 feet for front L/R and 1... 
Question for DENON 3803 owners
Sorry for the double post, I am at work and had to run.Anywho, currently on my DVD/SACD player I use all outputs.5.1 for SACDAnalog 2 channel for 2 channel SACDCoax digital for DVDs, because my pre/pro sounds FAR superior to the built in DACs in t... 
Question for DENON 3803 owners
Slappy, for the love of Pete, whats with all the threads???OK I am unfamiliar with that dvd player but, most are similar.DVD-A output is ONLY decoded internally in the player, so it only outputs analog via the 5.1 outputs. Only a few, if any, DVD-... 
Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?
"The switching of the AC line is intense, devices like resistors, capacitors, wire etc. will resonate or ring to the tone of the 60 HZ; this creates distortion. The greater the overall resolution the more obvious this problem becomes"OK, so I want... 
Sound Card with External DAC
While I am not familiar with Resolution audio or their setup, I am familiar with the run-of-the-mill $20.00 CD-ROM drive found in most OTC computers. 1) CD-ROMS are designed for data, NOT audio. Inspect the audio outs on any CD-ROM drive, certainl... 
Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?
Slappy, have you been drinking?I dont use anything on my main amp, but as indicated in my original post, I might try a PS Audio Ultimate outlet on it and my sub in the near future. 
modified jolida 100, mh cd-25, or audio aero prima
I am in the same proverbial boat. I really like my DAC (Theta DSPro Basic), I want to improve my transport(secondary) and give an alternative sound(primary) by use of the analog outs. I am thinking A modified Jolida JD-100 (tubes), but I know you ... 
which audio rack?
Slappy, its all in the nose angle.Just kiddin around.Seriously though, racks can and do make a difference, its very situational however.Opp, check out Audioadvisor.com, they have a few dozen racks to look at. 
Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?
Slappy, apparently our noses arent properly angled upward. We must have passed right by the quality stuff and ended up in "inferior product" limbo. Seriously, for around $350.00 the HTS-3600 is a nice piece, I will admit that the $1300.00 Panamax ... 
Neither laid-back nor refined.
I hace the RCD-971 in my system currently.I wouldnt call it laid back, but, it certainly doesnt have the dynamics of my older Theta DAC. I prefer the DAC to the Rotel on almost every type of music.However I found the Rotel Better/equal to many pla...
