| Blue Circle 21.1 vs Eastern Electric Minimax $25?! That SOB gouged me for $50! And I didn't get no tabloid pics neither. I gotta' bone to pick with you Dean! Yeah, OK, it was worth it. I laughed. I cried. I am a better man for having read it. My sex life has improved, and my stool is a bit m... | |
| Blue Circle 21.1 vs Eastern Electric Minimax Gunbei did an excellent review of these two pre's. I don't know if his was a 21 or 21.1? He's being shy about posting it here. Perhaps your question will prompt the green man to quit horsin' around with Pokey and get on the stick! Cumon' Dean, aft... | |
| Small size tube amps...any recommendations?? Luis- Though your Soliloquy's are efficient at 90db and will certainly make music with 8 watts of power, I'd expect you'd be rather disappointed if you were wanting of anything more than moderate volume from them. I own 8 watt SET amps and have us... | |
| Audience AU24 vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference Hey Dean - great comments you've made above...that's the kind of reviewing I can understand and appreciate, as opposed to using words like "decaying transients" and "superfluous prognostecation of the dialectic wicket-waveform". Thanks for that my... | |
| looking for a warm ss amp.... I'd 2nd Pass Labs Aleph 5 would do the trick. No wax build up problems either, but once in a while the lint in my belly button builds up a bit! Perhaps that is impairing my judgement?! With the Aleph's you really need to keep them running for a da... | |
| Feedback/Ideas for New Magazine? Jules- I read your piece last night and I must say I was very impressed. Excellent writing and a very calm and impartial view of the industry. I'd recommend anyone interested in this hobby who takes the time to look at reviews give his article a r... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? I'm a big fan of tube gear and I won't likely go back to SS. But I must admit that the ONE single instrument that I've heard really excel out on my friends $50K Levinson system (NHT 3.3 speakers) was piano. The detail, body and shear emotional imp... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Satch - The first time I ever had sex was pretty memorable too....well, maybe the second time! But it's not likely I'm going to repeat those same sensations, but that doesn't stop me from continuing to try! Though it may not be the same sensation,... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Hey Indiefan - Sign yourself up here and start posting more often. That is an interesting observation and a fine contribution to the thread. I'd like to read more of what you have to say and without your being a member it is more difficult to acce... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: The music?!! I think Gunbei sat on it and snapped off a piece. I saw inpepinnovations got the epoxy and soldering iron out to try to fix it, but then got caught up in repositioning his speakers and forgot about it. I think he left that soldering i... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Unsound - well, at least I think we'd both agree that neither one of us would like to (or be LIKELY to) listen to either option, so Albert can breath easy again instead of worrying about donating his front-end to our experiment. Although the propo... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Unsound - I was reading with rapt attention until you started with the measurements. Sorry, you lost me there. If measurements reliably did equate to the actual listening experience then reviewers would be without a job and the rags would be nothi... | |

| Jolida JD302B - Speaker Choice Under $600 combined with tubes....biggest bang for those bucks would be a vintage set of Klipsch Heresy's or a pair of Forte II's, per my post above......IMO, of course.Marco | |
| Jolida JD302B - Speaker Choice Matthew- I've owned a Jolida 302B and loved it. It really got me hooked on tubes and I'll never go back. That was some time ago. First thing I'd do is swap out those Chinese tubes if you have not done that already. You don't even need to spend a b... |
