Jolida JD100 Missing Bass
Thanks for all of your responses. For anyone interested, I bought a couple of cheap RCA 5751 tubes, and it has improved from the very second I turned it on. I'm hoping that the tubes break in a little and get even better, but the difference was ve... 
Jolida JD100 Missing Bass
Zenblaster, It really does sound lean. When I first bought my Ushers I instantly notice the nice bass. I was very pleased and never felt the need for a sub. I then bought my Jolida. Prior to that it was a cheap sony CD changer that was about 15 ye...

Thank you Jig, when you say raise the tonearm. Do you mean lessen the force/weight on the stylus? 
Jolida JD100 Missing Bass
Thanks, I have not tried changing tubes. Where should I shop for them? What price should I be paying for the Sylvania tubes? The album was Radio Head "Pablo Honey". It's not that old, so I don't think their would be any remastered versions, unless... 
My First Turntable
Thanks, I can hear the music, but only when I turn the volume pretty much all the way up with the straight wire turned off. Before I bought the turntable we did listen to it, so I know it worked. I don't have a manual for this preamp, so I'm begin...

Those are some pretty big compliments for the 300ti's. Since I have never hear them or of them, I'm a little tentative. As nice as they may be, do you guys all feel I can't get a better speaker for $500. If this was your budget, is that what you w...

Budget amps.
Thanks everyone, I found a Sherbourn 5/1500A and bought it from a classified here on the gon. I haven't really had a chance to listen to it yet, so I can't give a review. I strictly bought it based on a few reviews I read, and the fact that If I w...

Used CD player for 200-300
What I meant by that statement was,Oppo all in one units are not simple CD players. I was inquiring about a Denon CD players not an all in one unit. Sorry, it wasn't very clear. I just thought since I was looking for a CD player to listen to music...
