Electro-Harmonix 6H30pi Gold vs Sovtek 6H30pi eb
I was researching these tubes and this thread came up in my search engine. How would users of either of these tubes rate their bass performance? With an ARC SP10 clone preamp I have and I'm finding the bass lacking when I've used 6N6P-EV and 6N1 t... 
Difference in quality in products made in China?
Well I got my first bad component that was made in China. It was a used XiangSheng 728A tube preamp that was made a couple of years ago. The previous owner babied it and sent it to me in original packaging. I've bought from this seller before and ... 
New CD player or new external DAC ?
For external DACs what about the Schiit Audio Gugnir DAC or the TEAC UD-501. Both are around the $850 mark.The Teac UD-501 is the only DAC costing less than $1,000 that supports DSD playback (both 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz).Here's a review on Positive Fee... 
CD player similar to Playstation 1?
I have a Playstation 1 as a CD player as well and agree it is definitely a relaxing sounding CDP. From my experience with budget CDPs I would say a CD player that would come close to the sound of the PS1 would be a Marantz CD5003. To me this playe... 
No more delays for posts showing up?
I'm on a blacklist somewhere and for the life of me I don't know why. Often I'll post to a thread in the morning and won't see it until about 8 hours later if I'm lucky. There have been times I didn't see a post to a thread here until 16-20 hours ... 
Jeff Hanneman of Slayer - RIP
I was stunned to see this on the news this morning. May Jeff RIP and I hope he is jamming with the other metal greats who have passed on. 
Audio Kharma website
The only time I read Audiokarma posts is when the results come up from a search engine query. Other than that I never go to the main site. Too much noise. 
phono stage with two inputs
Hi Dmgrant1Sorry if this is an oddball suggestion but if you have the space how about an Accuphase C200 vintage preamp as a phono stage? I have it and it has 2 phono stage inputs. With both you can adjust the volume of each channel of each turntab... 
Jolida components: Seems to be many for sale ?
Also too I think the reason why there are a lot of Jolida ads here is Underwood Wally has a strong presence on A'gon. I think him and Audioforce have a lot of Jolida listings. I have not been able to do a comparison of dealer adverts vs. used adve... 
Power Cord up to $100?
The Volex 17604 power cords that are available now are NOT the same as the ones from years ago that offered great performance for the budget audiophile. I can't find the threads but the newer Volex 17604 power cords are now Baohing labeled power c... 
Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping
Hello again RattosecondFor my Jolida 502P with the KT120s or any of the KT88 or 6550 type tubes in place I would always bias the amp at least 515 to 525 millivolts. One time by accident when I was swapping out NOS 6550 tubes for newer KT88/KT120 I... 
Jolida 502B upgrading to Accuphase E206
Wow Rattosecond. That is a lot of mods to your Jolida 502B. Where did you get the idea to use such nice parts? Did you do the work yourself? 
When buying through Agon a buyer should always-
The problem is if you put in your phone number or other contact information in a private message A'gon will censor the message and not let it go through to the other member. I've seen then when I've sent a message trying to get information about a... 
When buying through Agon a buyer should always-
I guess it depends on the item. For big dollar items one should contact the seller. There have been times I've lost out on some deals because I contacted the seller first with various questions and then hours later I found the item was already bou...
