| Speakers for small room and TUBE AMP? For a SJ-302A I bought a pair of Castle Richmond's for around 350 here on the 'gon and I can't imagine anything better. | |
| Blowing Fuses in a Tube Amp Wow thank you all. My amp is a Jolida 302a with 2 matched pairs (4) of 6CA7/EL34 power output; 2 pcs. 12AX7 pre-amplifier; 2 pcs. 12AT7/ECC81 power drivers. I have not replaced the EL34's they are still stock Chinese. The smaller tubes I did repla... | |
| Speakers to go with a Jolida 302b I am even poorer and I was very pleased with a pair of Castle Acoustic Richmonds. They are incredibly well made and solid. I am very pleased and managed to find a pair of demos on the 'gon for $350. If I could afford it I would try to get a pair o... | |
| Best Tube to eliminate RFI Ralph, I read your comments on RF problems in amps and just wondering is that the kind of thing a novice can do? How big of a problem is it to solve? Thanks for your comments. | |
| Best Tube to eliminate RFI Thank you Albert, I've tried everything else. Made my own shielded and grounded power cord. Changed speaker wires and interconnects. In fact disconnected all of the interconnects from the system and the RF is still there. So the pick up is either ... | |
| Best Cable for canceling RFI This is making more sense to me as well.I just replaced all of my pre-amp tubes and the situation seems to be worse. I got rid of the 'junk' Chinese tubes that everyone says I should throw away and replece them with military grade Mullards and Phi... | |
| Best Cable for canceling RFI FWIW I did the test of disconnecting all IC's at the amp not the source. I switched the power cable from one outlet to another.I do seem to have more noise from the speaker nearest the outside wall.My question is - If the sound is not amplified by... | |
| JOLIDA 302B Tube Int. Amp. Opinions? I highly recommend it as well. Sounds like you are only getting opinions from Jolida supporters. I got a 302a which I found as a demo here on AudioGon. I like the appearance better than the b.It was my first foray into the integrated tube world an... | |
| Rega Planet compare to Arcam FMJ-CD 23 I did this very test this past weekend. Using both with a Rega Brio amp and Linn Katan speakers. I thought the Arcam was a little bit 'brighter' for lack of a better word. My wife however who was with me just said the Rega sound was 'better'. I tr... | |
| Best Bookshelf System for a Bookshelf After extensive looking and proding I have to agree with Dekay. I looked and looked and ended up getting the Castle Richmonds. They are fantastic. I use them as true bookshelf speakers with a Jolida tube amp and the work wonderfully. The best sour... | |
| Jolida202a vs. Creek 4330 Trelja,I got my 302a and hooked it up this weekend. I also got a great deal from an Audiogon dealer on a pair of Castle Richmond speakers. The combination is fantastic for our small apartment! We are VERY pleased. I far prefer the looks of the 302... | |

| Monitoring a tube amp Jolida or ASL Thank you all! An ASL rep recommended the following:"There are external passive auxilary extention devices that are not expensive by QED or others you may look for"Does anyone know what this is, how is is hooked up, or where I can find one? | |
