| Your pick of CD player.... I have a modded JD100 and recently puchased a Sony 999ES DVD player (only $545) to send to Modwright for one of their Signature Truth mods. While I've said in the past I believe that mods ultimately don't turn out to be worth it, the feedback on t... | |
| Arghh Too Many CDP Choices...Help Hi: I'm biased toward the Jolida since I own one with the Level 1 mod (Parts Connexion). I use a Flavor 4 PC and Tungsol tubes- Herbies halo tube dampers. With this the Jolida is excellent. (after all that it should be!) I've also owned a $3k play... | |
| Best redbook player for under $1000 I second Aball in the recommendation for the Jolida. I am biased since I own the player, but before I bought a stock Marantz multiple format player, I would definitely consider purchasing a redbook-only player. Your first priority is redbook playb... | |
| Definitive BP7000SC vs. Paradyme signature S8 I just purchased the 7000's a few weeks ago which I purchased for music only (an audiophile sacrilege!). They are very good for music so far with my Plinius 9200 which I've had for a week. I am continuing to work with them since this configuration... | |
| SACD vs xrcd There are special quality recordings available because of XRCD. Like everything there may be an occasional dud. However, I seek out recordings on XRCD for their superior Redbook capability. None of the XRCD's I own are duds. Do not sell JVC XRCD s... | |
| Jolida JD-100 or Eastsound CD-5 ? Hello: Since no one has answered your post so far, I thought I'd chime in. No, I have no experience with the Eastsound CD5. I do own the JD100. Obviously I'm biased but the Jolida is a good to very good player IMHO. How good the Jolida is depends ... | |
| Review: Marsh Sound Design P-2000t Tube preamp Hi: I had the p2000t for a short time and had similar prolbems with all kinds of noise whenever I even walked past let alone touch it. The sound would bomb my speakers. I called the dealer and after a little haggling he agreed to replace it with a... | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? I bought my first used speakers on Audiogon after always buying new. I never expected to buy without auditioning the speakers first. It was a fairly expensive purchase. It did not work out. While the speakers are I'm sure excellent, they weren't i... | |
| whats the biggest mistake you made? Not realizing the value of my ESS Heil AMT speakers from the 70's and throwing them away once dry rot set in. Should have repaired them or had ESS do it. They had the best tweeters I ever heard and great bass too. But I was an uneducated enthusias... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Hilarious, Jax2! | |
| Vandersteen 5a's - an upgrade from Vienna mahlers? "I love Audiogon." As someone fairly new to Audiogon(member since Jan. 2005) I have to say "I love Audigon." It is a thread like this one that really makes me appreciate the knowlegde that goes into this hobby. I have never heard the speakers in q... | |
| Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ??? Jax2: I begin to understand you. I've already spent way more on gear than I would ever have thought and am still in the hunt for a satisfying setup. Fortunately I have a unique wife that does not question what I spend on gear even though she doesn... | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? >>I had the Jolida in my system for a week.A week! Mjcmt: IMO that's not enough time to evaluate any front end unless it's mass market stuff. The Jolida requires tube rolling, the right aftermarket PC, and other tweaking to properly evaluate... | |
| Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ??? Jax2: you've got serious issues man. If the hobby is that bad, seek more help to help you get out. | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? I also should add; of course, you should try to get a home audition in your system before purchasing. Please let us know your impressions of the unit. |
