| Jolida and Cary Well thanks for all the response, I just bought a sli-80 and will find out the differences soon enough. I really thought Jolida to Cary would have been a more common upgrade path?Mike | |
| Jolida and Cary If you'd like to worry about them in my system, I have Spendor sp1/2e and a Musical Fidelity Tri-vista dac, and I only rock out occasionally. The Jolida powers the Spendors without any problems. Anyone have experience with Cary and Spendors? | |
| Ground loop when connecting coax to cable box..... I had the same problem, took hours to diagnose. I was outside in the rain at 11:00 pm cutting coco fronds away from the cable line???? Everything was unplugged except amplifier, plugged in cable co-axe, even though the cable box was turned off, I ... | |
| The gift of music to our children Audiophile style My son is 4 1/2 and we just started jamming together on the guitars, he has always been a singer but the guitar stuff is great. He shows my wife how to watch movies with the headphones, how to disable the speakers, etc. He knows what tubes are, an... | |
| Surfing and Hi-Fi Update, last week, after 1 1/2 years of being plugged, my right ear just cleared and fluid ran down the back of my throat. For the first time in almost 2 years I could hear so clearly I was afraid to move, I was afraid to go to sleep because it mi... | |
| Is Musical Fidelity a downgrade? Thanks guys, I have been researching all day and I think I will give it a shot. If nothing else I will gain the experience of listening to another piece of equipment, which is a rare event on this island. | |
| Which wood and design for diy monitor stands? Hey, aaawwww, thanks for the nice words gents. I did think about trying to have the posts go all the way up with out the plates, but decided to go with the Skylan design as people seem to like them. AFAIK, Ironwood is different. Our home is surro... | |
| Which wood and design for diy monitor stands? I built a pair of stands modeled on the Skylan stands. I used Ipe, which is a Brazilian hardwood I believe, but it is the hardest, heaviest wood I have ever seen. You can't nail through it, and you have to drill your pilot holes for the screws the... | |
| Best speakers for tube amp looking for suggestions I have a 15x25 room with 20ft ceiling, and a sleeping kid too. I was going to suggest the Spendors even before I read the whole question. You have tried more speakers then I have, but I really enjoy the Spendor 1/2e"s. I listen, especially at nigh... | |
| Are there any Tube Integrateds out there with? The Jolida 502brc has pre-outs for your sub. I was using the pre-outs for my sub until I discovered that the high level inputs to my sub were immensely superior. | |
| Are there any Tube Integrateds out there with? Jolida 502brc has pre-out and easily adjustable 1 minute biasing, with cool flashing red lights and everything. | |
| Mac Mini - Bel Canto DAC3 - best cabling option I use an opticis usb cable with a power adapter to run 30ft. I thought it sounded better then the 30ft glass toslink I tried. I too just recently got the Bel Canto usb Link, and could not be happier. I had a 30 day return policy with it, but knew ... | |
| Has anyone ever cried listening to your system I have been actively listening to recorded music since I was 10. I have never been moved to tears until last year, and only twice, not balling, but tears were shed. Once was a Violin, the other was more lyrically based. I don't think you can have ... | |
| Thinking of moving to a Headphone system, thoughts I have owned a few nice top end headphones, and my favorite was the Grado gs-1000, but even with a great amp they can't touch a speaker system in so many areas. If I were in your shoes I would go for some monitors and a subwoofer and listen at low... | |
| A couple of question... I had a dac3 hooked into a s300, it did not sound etched or harsh. I also had a benchmark before the dac3 and chose to keep the dac3 for this reason. I also had a cary slp-88 preamp in the chain for both. While playing around with taking the pream... |
