| Tube suggestion for Jolida JD-100 I had my JD-100 upgraded and they used SV12AX7 Svetlana. With the upgrade they sound great and would imagine they would better the stock tubes. Great player for the $$$ | |
| AES/Cary AE-3 preamp:Phase Inverting or not? I have the AE3,DJH version. I have the speaker cables reversed also and its sounds wonderful. I'll have to try reversing again to see how it sounds. I'm not sure of the technical explanation of why but it (reversing the speaker cables) was stresse... | |
| Opinions please on a selection of a Preamp. I know it only costs $1,200 but the AES AE-3 DJH edition preamp makes wonderful music. Enjoy! | |
| JMLab Mini Utopia or Meadowlark Blue Herons I had the opportunity to hear the JM Lab mini and the Meadowlark Shearwater-Hot Rod side by side. IMHO, there was no comparison. The mini's excelled by a huge margin in every respect. However, I have not heard the Blue Herons.Best of luck, | |
| Plinius vs. McCormack I'm sure Mgminc was just using a "play on words". I have a McCormack amp. However, I've not heard Plinius, I have heard the Adcoms. I think Stehno put it into perspective.Sorry, Adiorio, we sometimes get off track. I searched high and low for a "s... | |
| Integrated amps, need some help I purchased a demo A500 from Audio Advisor for $339. I liked the build quality better than the NAD that I auditioned. The Cambridge does need run-in time. It is now relaxing and is quite enjoyable for the $$. The good thing with Audio Advisor is y... | |
| AI MOD 3A + McCormack DNA125 , AND?? Chang,I use the DNA-125 with the AES DJH edition AE-3 pre. Speakers are JM Lab 915.1. Sonic heaven. The DNA-125 drives the 90db sensitive 915.1's without effort. I think the Vandies are a little less efficient but I think the DNA-125 would be an e... | |
| Average age of audiophiles I'm 47 and have been trying to be an audiophile since age 20. However, raising two kids and paying mortgages, etc. has prevented me from being the text book "audiophile". | |
| Best Budget Sub? Look at Axiom Audio. I use their EP175 which is a 10 inch alum driver and 175 watt amp with my JM Lab 915.1's. Very quick, musical and blends well.They pay for shipping and give you a 30 day trial.Axiomaudio.com | |
| RL Jones at Red Rock Jayboard,I was also dissappointed with the quality or the lack of quality on the Red Rocks CD. It really makes you wonder what the engineers were thinking when they were finished. It also makes you wonder why RL Jones didn't question the product t... | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers Tru,I don't listen to rap/hip-hop. However, my son does and he had DMX on my system. I have JM Lab Electra 915.1's and I was surprised at the micro-details I could hear on this recording. And, I thought his vocals were presented nicely.I've heard ... | |
| Jm lab Electra 915.1 in small room? I have a pair of 915.1's in a room just a little larger than yours. In my room they need to be at least 2-3 feet away from the rear wall. They image great front to back and side to side. If you like bass, anticipate buying a small sub. I listen to... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AE-3 Pre-Amp? Rute 1,I used the AE-3 with a bridged pair of Rotel RB980 solid amps with excellent results. I was using Rotel's RC995 preamp but the AE-3 really controlled the amps much better.If you buy the AE-3 new it does need a healthy run-in and some NOS tu... |
