Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.
How hot does it run, guys? I almost bit on this one a few weeks ago and got scared off by the Class A stuff. I am in the South and already have an elevated cooling bill. Plus the audio room gets lots of sun (not on the equipment though) and stays ...

Dracule1, I am with you on this. I did not mean to say cables make no difference, just that the story that a given component sounds good only with a certain brand or type of cable (silver, etc) is poppycock.For the record, I have between $1 and $2...

Many times I read that xyz amp (cdp,whatever) "must" be used with abc power cords, interconnects, whatever... if this is really the case:a) isn't the designer hurting his/her own success by building a component that sounds acceptable only with a c... 
New H20 Signature S250
Woodburger, try the Goertz MI2 AlphaCore cables. They worked really well with the M250s I auditioned in my home. I believe you can buy them in lengths from AlphaCore and terminate them yourself without getting too spendy. I have owned MIT T2 and A... 
Is this ludicrous or not?
LOL, Boa2!You should try the $6 Starbucks tweak. Greater perkiness, more alertness, the BLACKS are BLACKER! It is as if a few linen-based sheets have been lifted from your wallet. Not to mention you will impress your friends with that carboard col... 
Consonance Droplet....anyone heard it at home yet?
Lowfidelity, Transnova, have you heard/compared the Ref 2.2/ SACD 2.0 (in redbook) to any of these or other players? I am curious where it stands in the hierarchy of semi-high-end players. I say semi based on the price, there are many much more ex... 
Is this nuts?
So happy for you fellas. Now can we get back to the speakers? OK, forget it. You guys like to talk about stuff you know about, eh, that's why you give marital advice in a speaker forum. I'm done with you shrinks. No doubt you will post here again ... 
Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox
I am seeing the conventional wisdom slowly shift to the side of NOT modding the Jolida. Mine is unmodded and am very happy with it. Rolling tubes is the way to go; try different ones to find your flavor, and you don't have to go NOS although there... 
Is this nuts?
Wow you guys is tough fellas. When me grow up me wanna be just like you. Such he-men. I bet you have wimmen chasing you day and night. Poor me stuck with just one, she like me and I like her. Most unfortunate. Maybe I join you happy fellas and get... 
Is this nuts?
OK I will resist for now. Buying and selling speakers is a huge hassle and if one has a livable set then (speaking for myself) it is not worth trading into a 'maybe' situation. Hey Shaman, hope you're kidding. If not, just restrict yourself to ans... 
Jolida 100 cdp
Dvdgreco, I just got the EI Elites and find just as much detail, but not more, than the EH I tried prior. As to warmth, agree it is not "tubey-warm" but it is a natural-sounding tube that takes nothing away from the music. Nothing 'cool' about it....

Dracule1, please revisit with impressions/review when you have had some time with the amp. This was on my list to audition but the heat of the Class A operation scared me off for now.There is precious little in terms of reviews on this amp, pro or... 
Help choosing Power Conditioner
I'm back. Thanks for the responses, please keep them coming. I am sorry the thread went downhill so fast. I agree that DA basically posted an ad, and browsing Agon I see he has done that in other posts as well. Whether this is ethical or not I wil... 
Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?
Coming late to the party, I have to ask... what is so special about the Scintillas, or Apogees in general? From what I can gather they are:rare,expensive,difficult to drive, thus making them more expensive,require heat-producing amps, raising your... 
Jungson JA88D anyone?
Q007jb, please post when you have had a chance to listen. I too have been interested in this amp but have held off due to scarcity of data (reviews).The BFS review is nice, but nowhere near enough info I thought.
