| Suggestions for integrated amp No matter which amp you choose, the synergy (match)between the system (particularly the integrated) and the JBL's is really the key. You're probably buying used from Audiogon so there's no way to audition in your system. So it's always a gamble. I... | |
| Happy Birthday Miles I listen to Miles almost every day. Happy Birthday! My faovrite recording by him is Miles Smiles. | |
| DK Design Review My opinion is that in the audio world the DK has become yesterday's news. In the changing audio scene where new products take center stage and displace the "flavor of the month," the fire dies quickly for certain gear. The fire over the DK died lo... | |
| I think it is time to retire It's sad, but I'll add James Brown. I love what he did in his heyday. I'm a huge fan of his work from the 1950's up until the mid 70's but he needed to retire years ago. I | |
| "Mac" Integrated Owners: Are You Experienced? Drubin: I haven't set up the V8i yet. Since it's new, I will try and report back after I get it set up and give it and the new AZ cables 100-200 hours to break in. | |
| High power integrated suggestions please. I had a brand new MA6900 for 6 months but sold it. I really wanted to love it because it was such a beauty. As you know, they do have very good resale value if you get one and decide to sell. The Audiogoner who bought my 6900 sold it (pretty fast)... | |
| "Mac" Integrated Owners: Are You Experienced? I have since sold the Mac, purchased and sold a Plinius 9200 and now have a Dussun V8i. I have Acoustic Zen Ref Matrix II IC's and Satori Shotguns. The integrated and cables are all new so I have a long break in ahead before I'll know about this c... | |
| What am for Definitive Tech. 7001sc's I was using a Plinius 9200 with my Def Tech BP 7000's to very good satisfaction. The 9200 is smooth refined and excellent on top and the midrange. You can find them for 2300 or less on Audiogon. I don't have experience with Adcom, however what I'v... | |
| What tubes are you using in your Jolida JD 100? RCA NOS tubes. I did not like the original Svetlanas that were part of the mod package. Also did not like the Sovtecs I tried. I've stuck the RCA's for almost a year. They added a crispness and detail that was missing and a little better bass. Goo... | |
| In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy" Bob, that really makes a lot of sense to me. Your statement,"Applied to audio, perhaps two (or more) components that do not reduce the potential of each component involved in the "system"," I believe nails a large part of what "synergy" entails. W... | |
| Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less At CES 2006, Positive Feedback's Dave and Carol Clark reported on some of the products AAA Audio had on display. From the AAA Audio room: "An Original CD-2008 MK II HDCD/CD player, Dussun V8i Integrated amplifier, Tetra 306 loudspeakersMSRP is $8... | |
| Unusually good power cord for the money? I agree with the others that recommend VH Audio cords. I have a Flavor 4 that is very good. I also have a Supra LoRad 2.5 that is an "unusually good power cord for the money" and only costs $80. | |
| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? Buckeye Country, Columbus, Ohio | |
| Are Def techs 7000 series real competitors? I agree with Richrk. 9 out of 10 audiophiles will tell you the Def Techs are strictly HT speakers and not capable of producing quality sonics. But the majority of folks out there have experienced them with Denons, Yamahas, and other HT receivers. ... | |
| Jolida JD100 Modified or Music Hall Maverick I never heard the Music Hall player. I can only comment on the Jolida. I have a modded one. It's solid all the way with very nice midrange and good bass. I have managed to keep this player for over a year and every time I buy a new player, (had th... |
