| question about jolida amps I have the Jolida JD-502P amp and I really enjoy it. I've used KEF Q300 speakers with it primarily. I've used 6550, KT88 and even KT 120 power tubes with it. Preamp tube wise I've used all sorts of 12AX7 and 5751 type tubes. The 12AT7 tubes I've u... | |
| Redbook & SACD value If it is to be an explicitly CD and SACD machine I say look into the Pioneer Elite PD D9 J Mk 1 or Mk 2 playershttp://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/Audio-Components/Hi-Fi+Audio/PD-D9-Jorhttp://puresuperaudio.blogspot.com/2009/06/pd-d9mk2-ne... | |

| Speaker for nearfield listening? Depending on your amp I would say try the KEF Q300 bookshelves. With a Jolida JD-502P tube amp with the KEF Q300 speakers I found nearfield listening very enjoyable. When I swapped out the Jolida for a Hafler 9505 solid state amp and the music got... | |
| which amp to get? If you can find it used look for a Jolida JD-502CRC or 502B Integrated. Some of them hover around the $650 to $800 range used. I enjoy a Jolida JD-502P amp and the integrated I mention use the same amplifier section. | |
| Proofreader wanted I believe the movement or policy that is trying to be passed in US schools is to get rid of cursive writing and put in typing in it's place. I think another issue with typing on mobile devices is autocorrect IMO. People just rely on it and don't b... | |
| Speaker Set-Up: Use of a Plumb Bob I'll try the plumb bob. Most of the time I just use a tape measure to properly situate my speakers. | |
| Proofreader wanted You should see the articles that are all over yahoo or msn. I've lost track of how many times I've seen grammatical errors and even spelling errors. Heck I've seen grammatical errors in TV commercials. I don't remember the product but they kept sa... | |
| Alternative to 12AX7-EH tube needed...new to tubes Does anyone have any updates regarding the Sovtek 5751 tubes? Has anyone used it with their amps and care to share their thoughts? I enjoy 5751 type tubes (currently JJ 5751, previously NOS GE black plate 5751) in my Jolida amp. I was thinking abo... | |
| When to power off a tube amp? For my Bellari headphone amp I just leave it on all the time. Since it only uses 1 12AX7 tube I don't really mind if that tubes gets worn down since I have so many. For my Jolida 502P I turn it on and when all the EZ Bias lights turn red I'm ready... | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp I know of audiophiles who have mated ARC tube preamps with vintage Threshold amps so the ARC Pass Labs combo might work for you. I say audition the ARC stuff first as it isn't too long of a drive before you start buying and trying. | |
| Cables for Rogue audio and B&W I remember one Rogue Audio owner who used Kaplan cables all around. From Power cords to ICs and SCs it was all Kaplan. | |
| PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using? Has anyone used JJ KT88 or other JJ power tubes with their DiaLogue Premium Amplifier or Integrateds? I've found JJ KT88 Blue Glass power tubes and JJ 5751s sound great with my Jolida JD-502P. | |
| McCormack , Aragon or Forte Depending on the size of your room I say go for a McCormack DNA .5 Deluxe. I preferred the McCormack DNA .5 Deluxe to the DNA 1 Deluxe with my KEF 104/2 speakers in my audio room which is on the smaller side. I felt the DNA 1 Deluxe had a lot of b... | |
| Ideas for easy A/B comparison of amps ? I use a Niles DPS-1 to select between amps. I had to rig up an adapter so I could connect banana plugs too it but it works great.http://www.nilesaudio.com/product.php?prodID=DPS-1&recordID=Source%20Switching%20Systems&categoryID=Switching%... |
