| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? Yes. As far as Judy426 goes "methinks thou dost protest too much." I have the JD 100 and I also have the Simaudio Nova, a highly regarded unit that costs 3X as much and the Jolida with VH Audio Flavor 4 PC, vibration dampening and NOS tubes gives ... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Guidocorona and Boa2: come on....Geez, give Staples a break. There's no spellcheck in this forum. Everybody makes typographical errors when they start a thread or post a response, especially when a person is speed-typing to try to crank out a mess... | |
| Jolida JD100A, How to bring it to the next level OK: I've had the Jolida JD 100 for a year now (Level One Mod from Underwood Hi Fi). I've always questioned my decision to get a modded player. The Level One mod among other things was supposed to improve the low end performance of the player. For ... | |
| Power cord upgrade on your Jolida JD-100? I tried the Flavor 4 on my McIntosh integrated and it did not outperform my JPS AC+ cord. But pc's like most everything are system dependent. I've read great reviews by others on this board and at Audioasylum about what the Flavor 4 can do with am... | |
| Power cord upgrade on your Jolida JD-100? If you get the Flavor 4, I'm sure Chris will warn you about the long burn in period. I have a couple pc burn in adapters, one of them I bought from Chris. They're a must-have for most audiophiles. I had 2 Flavor 4's daisy-chained on a dehumidifier... | |
| Power cord upgrade on your Jolida JD-100? I started out with a Shunyata Diamondback which was very clean but lacked low end. Recently I tried a Chris Venhaus Flavor 4 and it made all the difference. Improved weight in the low end, more palpable midrange and more sparkle in the highs. Bett... | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? Hello Dave_b. I sent you an email yesterday asking you how long for burn in of these cables. I just received a pair that I ordered online. I was lucky-got for only 144 plus shipping. I like what I hear so far with less than 24 hours on them. You a... | |
| Jolida J100, Shanling CDT100, or 640C with DAC? I have the JD100A and love it. I gained new appreciation for it with each upgrade in tubes, powercord and ic's. It is at it's best now and really good. However, I agree that too many tubes may be too warm. I'd be looking at a solid state front end... | |
| Blue Note Jazz Recordings I quickly started buying the Blue Note RVG's as soon as I saw them online. I do have a complaint with the RVG remasters. They are high resolution recordings, but from a sonic standpoint they are lean-sounding. There is no comparison between the JV... | |
| Sound Quality of Remastered CD's "Is there really something to this idea of "remastering"?"IMO, yes there really is something to this idea. For instance, as an old Yes fan from the 70's I really appreciate the vast improvement in the remastered version of the live recording "Yess... | |
| Can IC's and Speaker Wire drastically affect bass? The Hsu subs have a phase switch which I have tried. The 2 bass systems have worked together pretty well IMO. I took my speaks back to the dealer again and a faulty amp in one speaker was finally discovered and replaced by the dealer. The bass in ... | |
| Can IC's and Speaker Wire drastically affect bass? Tvad: thanks. Yes I have bass. In fact it has improved since I re-inserted a JPS AC+ on the Mac this evening.The Definitive Technology BP 7002 is a full range speaker. Each speaker has a 12in. powered subwoofer. The speakers are not connected to t... | |
| Can IC's and Speaker Wire drastically affect bass? Thanks to all of you: Philbrady: Yes, the 6900 is plugged into the wall. I have HSU subs hooked up to my pre-outs. Tigermtn: these speakers are not biwirable as other Def Techs have been. els@hats.com: they are definitely wired in phase. Pmotz: Sp... | |
| McIntosh MA6900 Sensitive to Power Cords? I have Hello: I'm not familiar with B&W speakers. I'm currently using Def Tech BP7002's and a Simaudio Nova cdp with my 6900. I will probably purchase the Ohm Walsh 100mk2 or 200mk2 speakers for a home trial soon since I am not satisfied with the bas... | |
| Ohm Walsh 4 Month Home Trial Money-Back Guarantee? Thanks for your informative response Zkzpb8. I plan to audition them soon. Probably the 100mk2's since it may be that my room is too small for the 200's or 300's. |
