| Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners I owned one for about a year. I compared it to a Rakk Dac and a Esound CD-E5. I tried many different tubes and the best was GE 5751 5 star tubes. The player has a warm sound definitely romantic and very musical. I ended up selling it to my brother... | |
| Does this preamp exist? I had the Rogue and I also have a CJ Pv-11 and a Modwright preamp. The Rogue was more dynamic, fuller sounding with better bass than the CJ the only thing I didn't like about it was the high end was a little too soft for my taste. It has an excell... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier I agree with Tedmbrady. The sound has an analogue feel to it, it makes me think I am listening to my vinyl when I have a CD on. I have compared it to a CJ Pv-11 and a Rogue 99 Magnum. The Rogue and the CJ are warmer. The CJ is really a little too ... | |
| $1300 used amp to effortlessly drive VR4JR I'd buy this one on Audiogon. Looks like the best in your price range.http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1158628368 | |
| Good Preamp with Digital Input This might work http://www.monarchyaudio.com/M24 tube dac plus line stage | |
| DK Design Review I just received a used MK II version with NOS Phillips tubes in it. I am just getting adjusted to its sound. It is a full sounding integrated, with the most detail I have heard in my system, and the best bass I have heard comparable to a 300 watt ... | |
| Audio Research LS3B vs. Conrad Johnson PV10b I not so sure the last post is correct. The 10B was the last updated PV10. I believe that line stage was based off of the PV-12, since the PV12 had been discontinued. I'm not positive. Best to call CJ and ask. I own a PV-11 which some like better ... | |
| Any GREAT "sleeper" amps? My CJ MF-200 amp. I have tried to replace it over the years with a McCormack .05, a Belles (older), a Llano 300 watt hybrid, an Odyessey Stratos, and finally a Pass labs X-150. The Pass was the only amp that made me smile more than my CJ, although... | |
| High end amp - my last step Though I am not able to purchase anything remotely near that $$ range. I have been through a few amps. I hybrid Llano, a solid state CJ, a McCormack, and lastly a Pass X-150 amp which is the best amp I have owned and I can live with for a very lon... | |
| Which Power Amp to buy The Classe is suppose to also be a very good amp. I think it is darker sounding than either the CJ or McCormack, from what I have read, I haven't heard it. This may be a good or bad this depending on the rest of your system, preamp, CD, cable, etc. | |
| Which Power Amp to buy I have a CJ MF-200 which would fit your budget. I will be selling soon. I have had the Stratos and a McCormack DNA .5 in my system. I liked the CJ better and I sold those other amps. The McCormack came close but didn't have as warm mids and upper ... | |
| Need help choosing a power amp If you are picking up Revel Concerta M12 speakers I would not go for Odyssey or Musical Fidelity. I still have a Adcom 545 in my home studio. I have owned the Odyssey and my bro-in-law owns MF stuff. Both of these will be too bright for those spea... | |
| Jolida JD-100 or Eastsound CD-5 ? I owned both also. I sold the Jolida to my brother-in-law. His system I thought tended to be on the bright side, and the Jolida warmed it up nicely. I think in his system the Jolida may have been a better match. Since he need the fuller sound of t... | |
| DAC for $1800 or less? Nobody has suggested this one. The Rakk Dac. It is a DIY dac, but they will build one for you. For that price you could have them build it with an active tubed output. I had compared a friends Rakk Dac to my EastSound E5 cd player, which is suppos... | |
| Tube preamp, remote + tone control for $2,000 max? Wyt would you want a tone control? I have a Rogue 99 Magnum for $1475 listed here, but no tone controls. Most of the better stuff dowsn't have tone controls since they degrade the sound. Sunfire (Carver) may have tone controls on it and it's suppo... |
