| Rega 25/RB 600 :need advice with lift adjustment Overhang, you may need to loosen the hex a bit more. I found when I only slightly loosened it, I too could only move it left-right. Loosen it some more and it should work as per my and Stevecham's comments. | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded I'm glad I kept my JD-100 basically stock, outside of the following: JHS Gold Label Sylvania 5751WA triple mica black plates, Chris VenHaus cryoed Flavor 1 PC, Herbie's Hal-O 9 tube dampers, all resting on a 22 lb. granite slab supported by Vibrap... | |
| Tubes - Sylvania 12ax7 vs 5751 3 mica blackplates 5751 have 70% of the gain of the 12AX7s, or less gain than 12AX7s. Sylvania made both type of tubes. Lots of articles out there will confirm this.You may want to try the link re: Joe's Tube Lore for more info on this and other questions you aked a... | |
| Rega P25 question Denon DL-103R, used in combination with: 1) J A Michell Tecno Arm Stub & Counterweight, and 2) the "Strange Tonearm Tweak - Long", available in A-Gon discussion forum (cost was approx. $1.00!). I purchased the DL-103R from AudioCubes, had abou... | |
| Rega 25/RB 600 :need advice with lift adjustment You can adjust the lift height via a very small hex nut on the front of the lift post. I took me about 1.5 minutes total to do mine. | |
| Modified Jolida JD100A or Cary Cd308T I forgot to mention I use Walker SST on the Jolida's tube pins, RCA jacks, ICs, PC cord prongs, IEC prongs, and other system components. Treatment totally made my unit come alive. I found the SST's $70/jar price well worth the cost. | |
| Modified Jolida JD100A or Cary Cd308T I have not had the issues re: bass and upper registers as Nealhood. I note my JD-100 has the following after market mods (I bought my unit stock with Sovtek 12AX7s): 1) a cryoed Chris VenHaus Flavor 1 PC, which brings in both the bass and upper re... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long To all, and TWL especially - changed over my cart to a Denon DL-103R, with the bullet tweak previously installed. After setting up and burning in the cartridge (TWL - no VTA adjustment needed on the Rega!), I can easily attest the DL-103R with the... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Tried this with my Rega P25/RB600/cart setup and it works great. Used the yellow "blu-tack" mentioned within the thread, and steel bullets (can't find any lead ones in NH, but if someone whats to ship me a pair, feel free to send some up here!). I... | |
| CDP-Tube Suggestions When you say you leave the unit powered on 24/7, is the on-off button blue or red in color? You can keep the unit in a semi-on condition (red color), which won't provide tube current, but keeps the unit in a standby mode. I think you can only go t... | |
| Distortion with Jolida JD100 I'm a happy JoLida JD-100 owner with none of the problem you describe (current tubes are Sylvania Gold Label JHS 5751WA triple mica blackplates). If the unit is still under warranty, you have the option of getting it checked out. | |
| Anyone using Sheer Audio Platter on Rega P25? I used the Iron Audio Platter for a couple months and very much enjoyed it (also using a Roksan Corus cartridge and a very isolated TT, go to my system on A-Gon to check out what I mean.). However, I subsequently swapped out the Rega's stock count... | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 Thanks for the nice reporting and detail. BTW - Do you have any input on the Odyssey room? | |
| Jolida JD100...giant killer or all hype? The Jolida is the real deal. 1) Get rid of the stock 12AX7 tubes and go for NOS Sylvania JHS 5751WA Gold Label triple mica blackplates (last pairs on Audiogon went for 150/pr - pricey but wait to you hear the sound, and I've rolled plenty of tubes... | |
| Review: Luminous Audio Axiom Preamplifier You mentioned only one set of inputs. Have you tried using the preamp with a TT, and if so, how does it perform?Also, does he have other Luminous preamp gear that has multiple inputs?In advance, thank you for your response. |
