Jun 17, 2003	Unico Vs. Jolida JD1501RC Don't get rid of the Unico.I replaced the stock tubes on my Unico with JJ ECC82. More sparkle, detail, transparency, speed and tighter bass was the result.
May 30, 2003	Weird ring/thump noise when I hit my speaker cable Good question Thsalmon. Flicking speaker cables isn't exactly a habit of mine. Actually, I first noticed the sound when I was fiddling around with power cords on my CD player and the cord bumping against the the equipment rack produced the sound. ...
May 04, 2003	Tubed cdp that can be hooked up to amp directly. Gee, I've been so clearly outvoted here that I need to reconsider whether everybody else is right and I'm wrong. But if it's better to go straight from CDP to power amp, I wonder why more people don't do this, rather than spending a bundle on a pr...
May 03, 2003	Tubed cdp that can be hooked up to amp directly. I would recommend against doing that. Yes, with CDPs with volume control, you can plug it straight into a power amp and be able to control the volume, but it just sounds flat. From a purist point of view, you would think that the signal path is mo...
Apr 27, 2003	Thoughts on the Unico Good thing about the Unico is that you can change the tubes to get the sound you want. You'll be surprised (I was) how much impact the 2 little tubes in the preamp stage have on the sound.I've tried many amps in the price range, most at home with ...
Apr 27, 2003	Why is balance in my pre inaccurate at low levels? Amps commonly have channel imbalance at low levels. Check out this product which apparently is the solution for this problem.http://www.rothwellelectronics.co.uk/Rothwell/rothwell_attenuator.asp
Apr 27, 2003	mcCormack or Plinius Do let us know what your findings are after comparing the two. I have heard the DNA-225 and found it superior to the Plinius integrated.
Apr 24, 2003	HELP with Speakers for a 11 ft X 12 ft room??? I have found that bass boominess can be reduced by either moving the speakers further out from the front wall, as well as moving your ears further out from the back wall.Of course, moving the speakers further out from the front wall also has the a...
Apr 18, 2003	Amphion Speakers?? Need opinions about them Forgot to mention that the model I tried was the Argon.
Apr 17, 2003	Amphion Speakers?? Need opinions about them Unfortunately I have not tried the Athene or the Creon but have good experience with the Amphion which I had the chance to demo at home for a week. Not sure if it's any help but here's my two cents.They are detailed and transparent, and imaging is...
Apr 12, 2003	unico with nht 2.5i's Will be interesting to hear your comments on the Classe. Couldn't get a chance to listen to them.Would forget about the Naim Nait 5. Heard it and not all that impressed, unless you only have a music diet of live rock music. (I'm sure that comment ...
Apr 11, 2003	unico with nht 2.5i's Had a SR1 on loan for a week. Similar to Unico. Couldn't believe how different the sound can be just by swapping the tubes.Original tubes - Full warm sound but not too good detail, clarity and transparency.Electro Harmonix tubes - Leaner sound, mu...
Apr 07, 2003	Roksan Integrateds I own a Roksan Kandy MkIII. Why do you seem so determined to have the Caspian work? I recently brought home 6 different amps for home demo, and liked the Unison Research SR1 most of all. Check out posting at http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/amp/m...
