Had the Celestion DL8 and they like the A3 are a completely different animal then the current garbage being put out by Celestion.I was out of audio for several years and Celestion was the very first name I looked at whe... | |
| Jungson JA88D anyone? Wait a few months there should be another review out on the 88D and the JA1/JA99 pre/power amp which is the same as 88D but in seperates.I've had mine for going on 12 months now and posted my thoughts many times here and at AA. You can do a word s... | |
| Best cheap integrated for Ascend CBM-170's. If I was in your position I would go for the Jungson JA-88C. Its entry level priced at $400, but definitly well above entry level performance. You can find some posts here and at Audio Asylum on the Jungson.BW MaxxC | |
| Best Bookshelf/Monitor in $2000 range?? Go to Soundstage (or ecoustics.com) to find a review of the PSB M2. At the end of the article there is a comparison between the M2 and the Paradigm S2.I'm not advocating these over the others on your list, since I've never heard any of those you'v... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? I know this threads over 4 years old. But just so theres no misinformation about Jolida thought I'd post.Bob I'm not sure what Jolida did 10 years ago and if thats what was going on then, I can certainly understand why you were turned off to Jolid... | |
| What are TCXO and Superclock? I don't think thats correct. You may want to research Jitter. From what I have read a CD will spin at a slighly slower or faster rate goverened by the amount of timing error.A TCCO/TCXO clock being very precise, minimizes these variations of the t... | |
| What are TCXO and Superclock? My Eastsound CDP has a TCCO as standard. A importer borrowed mine and was really suprised that it was a all SS design. He was very suprised there weren't any tubes in the unit.How much the TCCO contributes to the "analog/tube" sound I'm not sure. ... | |
| Help on some under $2500 speakers Why do you want to change speakers? The Harbeths are suppose to be some of the best under $2500 monitors available. You probably need to state what you are looking to improve or what you don't like about the Harbeths. Perty much anything in the un... | |
| Distortion and popping from new speakers You may want to post a question directed to Musical Fidelity owners here and at Audio Asylum and see if they have the same problem.I really can't see this as being a clipping issue with the volume control only a little above 11:00.I had a similar ... | |
| Reference 3a MM De Capo's vs Totem Sttaf vs LSi9's Krell-man I live in Southern Indiana and work in Louisville. Checked out your posts and you mentioned a "New store" in a post a few months back. What store carries the DeCapos and Musical Fidelity you mentioned?Thanks MaxxC | |
| Jungson 88D vs Dk Design MKII Those are both integrated amps not preamps. There is one poster here who has owned both and thinks both are great but prefers the DK design. Of course as he pointed out, the DK Design is 2X the price of the Jungson. You can probably find his posts... | |
| best wife friendly monitor? Focus Audio FS688. Tony has a mint demo pair here on Audiogon that is near the price range. Check out the pictures in Burr Walnut. To me these are the ultimate WAF high performance speakers. Only 13"x7"x10" with gorgous Burr Oak and Burr Walnut fi... | |
| any hear dared or ming da amps? Glad to hear it David! I know some of the early Xindak's had problems reading certain discs. But they went to work on it and have corrected the problem. Not unusual, the earlier model Eastsound CD-5 had a few bugs they had to work out.Yes, althoug... | |
| any hear dared or ming da amps? Hi David, Even though I've never heard any Dared. I don't doubt what you heard at all. My amp (Jungson) and CDP (Eastound) are both Chinese. I've been into audio since 1973 and these are the two best pieces of equipment I have ever owned.From my e... | |
| Budget tuner? You might consider the Tivoli audio PAL. Cost $129 new, comes in various colors and can be removed or reinserted in a stereo system in mere seconds and can be used as a portable radio since it has its own speaker, amp, antenna and power supply.You... |
