| Marantz 1060 vs. Mac 1700/1900 Yes, the Marantz 1060 is a wonderful sounding amp. I use one in my office set up ( with Paradigm Atom speakers) and it always pleases. I don't know exactly what the pixie dust is with that amp but I suspect that it being capacitor coupled and co... | |
| Any love for Jolida integrates? I don't know about the integrateds but I'm very pleased with my Jolida 502P power amp powering my Magneplanar 1.7's plenty of power and no trouble in the 2 years I've owned it. | |
| How do you know when to replace tubes Good point Atmasphere. Wolf did you check with Jolida re using KT150's @ the 502 p amp? | |
| How do you know when to replace tubes So da big question is should I go with 120's or 150's when I replace the original Tungsol 6550 on my Jolida 502 p? I have about 1500 hours on them I would guess.The cheapest price I see on ebay for 4 kt150 is about $130 more for a set of 4 than kt... | |
| How do you know when to replace tubes Wolf, Why did you go for the KT 150's instead of just replacing the KT 120's? Double the $$ double the pleasure? | |
| Best new tube amp under $1500? I've used the jolida 502 p with my 4 ohm maggies 1.7 for almost a year now and been very pleased. So much so that i hardly ever use my cj mf2300a mentioned by another poster. | |
| Budget Pre with 2outputs, rectifier tube and..... I was expecting an attachment or description to see what the tube rectification RULES are as I would like to learn them myself. I must say I'm quite happy with the tube rectification in my Mapletree preamp but maybe there are some RULES I'm not aw... | |
| Budget Pre with 2outputs, rectifier tube and..... Mapletree 2B SE uses 6X5GT tube/fast diode hybrid rectification | |

| my cj 2300a........ I've replaced the power switch in my 2300A with the same symptoms as yours. It's actually fairly simple to do. 20A, 125-277 VAC CARLING 0716R switch. Any competent local tech should be able to replace it if you are not comfortable doing it yoursel... | |
| tube vs SS preamp I use a Mapletree 2A SE tube stage with my Jolida 502 P and I am very happy with the sound I'm getting (Speakers are Magneplanars 1.7). I have tried the Jolida with a Creek pasive preamp and an Emotiva USP 1 solid state. With these choices, easy w... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? Hi Jedinite, Yes you are right about my going overboard on this bias business. But I guess I'll keep gnawing this bone a bit longer... Why is it important for the bias not to drop below 500? Wolf in the post above yours (and the Jolida manual I ju... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? Thanks for the reminder Bombaywalla. I guess I'm really confused now. After turning the amp on for 30 minutes with no preamp signal and then testing I found the left channel tubes at 492 and 505. The right channel tubes at 500 and 512. The tube I ... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? Thanks guys. Very pleased with the JD502P. I figure at about 6 hours/day, I'm probably up to about 1000 hours on these output tubes (tungsol 6550) probably time to start thinking about replacements? Although the manual says they should last on ave... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? Thanks. I'll just keep an eye on it and see what it does. If it is in fact the tube, is there some bias reading differential that would indicate the tube may cause some mischief? |
