| who needs a cd player anymore 03-07-09: BobfMavbe some of us still enjoy that part of the hobby like when we used to sift through albums.Bingo Bob, this was my biggest dilemma importing all my cd's into my computer. While I am quite numb to it now, it felt very soulless 8 year... | |
| Bel Canto DAC3 without preamp I was running a dac3 into a s300 for a while and didn't really have any complaints, very neutral overall, tight bass. Then I got a Jolida 502brc, and in comparison, the dac3 to s300 sounded very flat and lifeless, and not as open,or detailed, but ... | |
| Surfing and Hi-Fi Samhar, with the kings reef comment on my systems page, I assumed you surfed. My wifes ears are 90% closed from cold water bone growth, but she hates ear plugs too. We will both check out the plugs from spain, I think I have seen people wearing th... | |
| Need advice for my Jolida 302BRC Hi Marty, I have the Jolida 502brc. Based on my experience, I would replace the tubes, and make sure you have adequate power, ie. decent power cord, no issues with electrical system. I just added four dedicated circuits, and while doing so we noti... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Dgarretson, you are a fantastic writer and I really enjoy reading your posts. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far I just got Noble Beast/useless creatures the double cd from Andrew Bird. It is not my absolute favorite album of his, but has some good stuff, one of the cd's is instrumental. M ward is on order. I like that Jesse Sykes, she sounds a bit like Vic ... | |
| Ben Harper help... I know how cliche and trendy it is to not like anything from an artist after there first album or two, but I can honestly, only listen to "Fight for Your Mind" it is different from all his other stuff. For the record, I like Led Zeppelin 1 too. | |
| Wi-Fi Fidelity? As already mentioned, the drop outs can be very annoying, and hard to pinpoint the cause. If you are using a Mac, Leopard doesn't support airtunes any more either. I use a usb from my Macbook to a Bel Canto Dac3. Because the dac is 30 ft from the ... | |
| Any Young Audiophiles Out There? Hey Hens, My son is 4 1/2, he knows the difference between the super tweeter, tweeter and mid-range driver. He loves dancing, and he loves tubes, they make really cool designs in playdough. | |
| Any Young Audiophiles Out There? I am 35, and for me it started at 6 when I got my first yellow transistor am radio for 5 cents at a garage sale. Since then music has been playing non-stop throughout my life, and it has been one upgrade after the next. I started working at a Hi-f... | |
| 2k budget for Amp I had a Bel Canto s300 with my Spendor 1/2e's and I really liked it. Just recently I bought a Jolida brc502. In terms or realism, in the room feeling, detail and sparkle, the Jolida is amazing, especially at the price I paid buying used. Being abl... | |
| mid fi choices NAD vs Adcom vs Rotel ... $400 I replaced a adcom 545ii I think, with a Rotel 981. They are both gone now, but I liked the Rotel better. I found it warmer, and I liked how it brought the vocals forward, compared to the adcom. I was using Epos m12.2 speakers at the time. | |
| On one leg or two legs? Hi Ghstudio, Sorry, I may have things a bit mixed up, but the all the ground rods are tied together. My friend Jon is a master electrician, and everything passed inspection. I had originally asked him about hospital grade receptacles and told him ... | |
| On one leg or two legs? I would suggest running isolated ground circuits. Each circuit has it's own ground run back to the panel to a separate ground bar. Then the Isolated ground bar has it's own ground run to it's own ground rod. If you are running two circuits, I thin... | |
| Assessing room response I just did this a few months ago. I did my test at 80db. I read that If you can do your test at 90 db you will get more accurate results. The only advice I have is, If you have earplugs, I would wear them. I started without them, but even at 80db,... |
