| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? The challenge with any audio system is synergy. However, the second challenge is to maximize the "weakest" portion of your systm. Considering the cost the following candidates meet the criteria in my little rig.1. Jolida 302B Highly modded by Unde... | |
| I2S Cable OK topic closed -- just heard from the folks at Muse -- the two are incompatible. So if anyone else has this weird little idea -- don't bother. Muse implemented a more advanced form of I2S and they just won't work together.Ah well. Now if anyone h... | |
| I2S Cable Thanks for all your input. I have now avoided making a mistake in having someone "make a cable for me" and am willing to continue with the BNC/BNC link between the Muse and the AA piece. If something new comes up -- I will most definitely update. ... | |
| I2S Cable Thanks for that. See the challenge is that the Audio Alchemy piece has one fitting at the end while the Muse has a DB25 connection at the other. The PS Audio is an HDMI format -- which would be a third iteration. | |
| Something Vintage Dependent on what you call vintage -- I have either one or three items in my setup.1 for sure -- a Revox A77 Mk III with a WIRED remote -- yes -- like twenty feet of cable to the remote box.2 optional -- a 90's vintage Muse Model 2+ DAC and an Aud... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? My experience is simple. I have nearly all redbook cds. The ones that come out the best -- the "special edition" ones generally but most specifically -- I have a few HDCDs and the DAC and black box to decode them. These are just more than a cut ab... | |
| wadia & iPod, anybody happy with it? Wadia is coming out with another transport -- supposedly more functional -- look for it in September. I use the 170i now -- newly acquired -- a bit of a pain but makes you work on getting playlists tighter. Solid recommendations on upgrading the p... | |
| Best female vocals on CD I gotta go with the Holly Cole citation. There are some tracks I have that are absolutely wonderful. | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- you have far more cables in a box than you have cables in your system.ORyou have far more spare tubes than you have CD's.ORyou spend four hours determining just the right bias setting for your amp.ORyou spend another four hours eliminating all but... | |
| Review: Jolida JD-302b Tube amp Follow-on to the two-year old post immediately above. I finally got to a permanent abode. Things are hooked up again and the final tweaks to the system are going on. I had my 302B modded by Underwood HiFi -- full mods and what a difference -- so w... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- I fit some of these -- cables especially. Never went truly high end on the interconnects -- just trying to match. As a result of the Audiogon auctions -- I have interconnects from Ridge Street Audio, Boulder Cable (with inline bybees) a host of by... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? All right -- maybe not for life but -- with budget in mind here is what I did today and why this is a HOBBY.Own -- Jolida 302B integrated tube amp. Fully modded by Underwood Hifi -- Love the sound for the buck. I have stuck with it -- had it store... | |
| Jolida 302B -- Bias Settings PLEASE All done now. Thanks | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Yes -- 25 feet of wire to the remote from the deck. | |
| Best short-lived band? Look through the thread and you will see remnants of them scattered throughout. They were the original spawn of so much music. |
