Tube amp bias question or not?
Hi EjmanFor me I didn't like seeing the red lights flicker a lot on the 502P. When I was striving for the exact 500MV there wre times I saw the lights really flicker a lot. That and I was under the impression for the amp to sound the best the powe... 
Comments on Nakamichi PA5
Anyone else care to share their thoughts on the sonics of the Nakamichi PA5? Anyone pair them with Ohm Walsh speakers? If so what Ohm Walsh speakers did you pair the PA5 with? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi JoekapahuluI currently have the Ohm Walsh MicroTall SEs and I'm currently powering them with a pair of Red Dragon M1000 Mk I Monoblocks. With a tube front end I'm VERY happy with this combination. Music is loud and clear and I have bass that I'... 
Tube amp bias question or not?
Hi EjmanYou may be going a bit overboard with the bias. For me I let my Jolida 502P stay on for about 45 mins to an hour. I then set the bias for each tube to around 550mv. This way depending on the voltage spikes at your place you will always be ... 
Speaker cable manufacturers
Hi JimbonesHow about Morrow Audio SP5 speaker cables? Morrow Audio often has a used inventory on their official site at a discount. They periodically have discount offers ranging from 10% to 30% off the already lowered price. I think the Morrow Au... 
Tube amp bias question or not?
Hi EJman I wish I could tell you. I was very bad with my Jolida JD502P from the get go. I read a lot of reviews about the different KT88/6550 tubes and then decided to go with the Tung Sol KT120 tubes right from the get go. I didn't even bother wi... 
Tube amp bias question or not?
Ha ha. Very true wolf. With the Tung Sol KT120s in place on the Jolida JD 502P I too would singe my knuckles when I would check/adjust the bias of each tube. I'm now GE 5751s along with the Mullard CV4024s. I like the lesser gain of the 5751s. 
Thomas Mayer 46 SE tube AMP? What's it worth
Well at least Steve you are honest in your intent of buying the gear and selling it later. Just buy the Audiogon Blue Book membership or search the ebay's completed sold listings to get an idea about fair market value for the gear you want to sell... 
Buying from first time seller
Damn zd542. Wow $5K lost for a week. Holy Moly. Good to know. I've only done transactions under $1000 via Paypal. 
Buying from first time seller
Paypal is definitely the safest route for you as a seller. Now when I started trading on Audiogon what I did to help alleviate some veteran users fears here was in all my ads mention my feedback on other selling sites. On those ads I would also me... 
Feedbands
You lucky guys got your latest Feedbands release. I still haven't received mine. Hopefully it arrives today. I agree with MoFi. I too would prefer a 180 gram LP every other month vs the haphazard shipping schedule they are doing now. It seems as s... 
Everything Looks Like Shot on Video
Hi NealHave you set up the Fios box correctly? I remember with my Fios box I had to set up for the kind of TV it was sending signals to. If the TV is 3D capable, etc.Thanks and good luck with this. 
the best amps for bass, best for the rest?
+1 to what Needfreestuff said above about getting Nola's input.One local audiophile by me who had a big money system used Red Dragon M1000 monoblock amps to power the subs in his system. When I bought them and put them in my system I heard an imme... 
Lowend Preamp on a budget.
I say get an Emotiva USP-1 and call it day. It can be found for under $300 used. It is a quality built preamp with a very good phono stage. Emotiva customer support is very good too. 
audiphile power cords
Hi AudiolabyrinthIt depends on your tube amplifier you want to try the tube rolling or power cord swapping with. I have a Jolida JD-502P tube amplifier and when I spoke to Jolida they told me the change that made the most difference sound wise was...
