| Cullencable: XLR and speaker cables I am pretty conservative when it comes to cables and interconnects.However, I decided to try a pair of Cullen Cable Midline Crossover Series RCA Interconnects between my my Ric Shultz modified Oppo 105 and my Prima Luna and W4S preamps.I could hea... | |
| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? I run an Audio Teknica AT150 and that gives more detail than my KB Ortofon sty40. Also have used a Denon 103R and that was more detailed than the Ortofon, I thought in my system.Did not really notice a whole lot of gain difference between the thre... | |
| Jolida JD-9 Mod II Interesting how every tube and system is different. I have some RCA 3 mica black plates and do not like them in my steup as they seem to not have a good depth of field and are more two dimensional.What capacitors are you all using?To answer Wrayma... | |
| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? Ditto some 5751 tubes and keep playing with the switches on the back.It is a very good phono amp. | |
| Jolida JD-9 Mod II I have the stock jd9 and upgraded all 6 op amps and have tried several different tubes. I like CBS 5751's with my system. All of this is possible with about a $150 investment and the time to replace the op amps and tube roll.Tremendous improvement... | |

| Vinyl essentials for novices well now its not like we are scrubbing a burnt pan | |
| Help for a vinyl novice My strong opinion is that if the rotational speed is not accurate, nothing else matters. This just makes sense to my logical, analytical side.The Technics tables are direct drive so the accuracy is there. A lot of folks will probably disagree with... | |

| What is my weak link? Your self.I was a double stacked Advent 1970's kind of guy with an Onkyo integrated amp, Luxman TT, ShureV15 type IV cartridge.Then, about five years ago we moved into a house with a good listening place, and I happened to hear some Maggie 1.2's a... | |
| Best phono preamp under $500? Jolida JD9 | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm you have to be kidding for that kind of money. | |
| Help for a vinyl novice ditto the Technics 1200 with upgrades and damping. It is not a bad place to start and you will not spend more money until you know something else is better - it is that good. | |
| Cables more hype than value? I have actually read through this ENTIRE thread so I must be masochistic. My system is worth closer to $10K than $20K so some would opine that my setup is not very resolving and therefore I cannot hear differences in cables. They may be right, and... | |
| What is Low Impendance for an interconnect? Hi Almarg, You had the right link and I think that it has been discussed in this thread.My read is that Roger is saying that his interconnects do not impart any coloration to the signal, which is his definition of a well designed interconnect.It w... |
