| To Tube or not to Tube...... Hi EbuzzMy uncle has a ARC Tube preamp mated with Threshold SA amps and the music from his system sounds wonderful. I'd ask some ARC experts like Bifwynne or Hifigeek1 for their thoughts on ARC house sound.With my Jolida amp I've used it with SS p... | |
| 6 ohm speakers with 4/8 ohm amplifier I have 6 ohm nominal KEF Q300 speakers and I use the 4 Ohm taps of my Jolida JD-502P amp. I found the bass to be slightly louder and tighter vs. the 8 ohm tap of the Jolida. I figure the KEF Q300s may dip below 6 Ohms so I might as well play it sa... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Hi EbuzzRegarding the new Jolida 1000P vs the "excellent condition" ARC VS 115 with 2 sets of tubes, one set brand new. Say you were to buy the Jolida new with warranty etc and you find you don't like the music from your system with the Jolida in ... | |
| transport quality??? I think it depends on the maker of the CDP or SACD/DVD player. The Pioneer Elite DV09 and the Pioneer PD-D9 J SACD players were well built transports that when I used with an outboard DAC made good music in my systems. When I had a Marantz CD 5003... | |
| Audio fuses Hi BluerangerI've heard the same thing from other more experienced audiophiles as well. They told me before I start spending funds on the expensive audiophile type fuses they told me to clean the fuse holder and fuses themselves. If possible I use... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Hi EbuzzOne thing I forgot to mention is one thing you can do to handle the different but not necessarily better is tube roll. Warning this can be a very slippery slope. Really spend time listening to your Jolida as is a lot first before making tu... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Hi Ebuzz. I agree with Charles1Dad's recent post. Only you will be able to know if any tube amp will be a significant upgrade to your existing T-100. I have a Jolida JD-502P amp and I won an auction for a Hafler 9505 Transnova amp that was fully w... | |
| Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music? Hi Nutreez69If your room has dimensions on the smaller side I say give this combination a try. Right now I'm rocking out with a Hafler 9505 amp powering a pair of KEF Q300 speakers. My DAC is a Schiit BiFrost.Best of luck with the search. | |
| 6550 tubes If you can find them NOS GE solid grey plate 6550 tubes are my favorite 6550 type power tube. Another favorite also are NOS Sylvania 6550 tubes. I've used these tubes in a Jolida JD-502P amp at various times.If you are going to go for KT-88 type p... | |
| Question about Morrow ICs? Hi BajaedI own various Morrow Audio ICs ranging from the 1.1 model to the MA2 level. IMO the reason why I think Morrow says they should not be moved around so much is these ICs seem more delicate than the other cables I've owned in the past. If yo... | |
| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? Hi NewcentThanks for sharing. Glad to hear there is another Kavent owner out there in this world. That Audio GD Master-1 preamp is some pretty serious gear. I still love my Kavent S-33 though but should I ever want to replace it I'll keep the Audi... | |
| Cleaning new/sealed records? For new and sealed records I just brush them and then I vacuum that dust up. | |
| Hafler 9505 power amps Hi everyoneI just got a Hafler 9505 power amp and it sounds wonderful to me. Very different than my Jolida JD-502P tube amp and IMO a lot better than the Hafler DH-220 and DH500 I had previously. I'm in need of assistance though. Would anyone know... | |
| Is SHANDING still in business? Who is the US rep? Try to call Pacific Valve in Chicago 1-888-329-1337. They may have an equivalent to Shanling A2000 or they could even get it for you. | |
| Burn-in and Equipmemt Value Hi MceljoIMO when something is burned in it is being used and like cars as soon as a piece of audio equipment is used it goes down in price dramatically. That and you never know truly how babied or abused the gear was by the previous owner. I gues... |
