| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? Thanks Wolf. I have and will talk to the Jolida people prior to having anything done. They have 4 packages for this pre I believe. IT has been my experience that they are good to deal with. | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need Forgot to mention, I think you have put together a fine system. I heard and thought the X12s to be great. Read the X14s are an improvement and easier to drive. | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need Audioquest Type 4 speakers cables and King Cobra interconnects can be found at your budget. Look at Audio Advisor. | |

Also possible that these speakers possess different load characteristics. What is the sensitivity for the... | |
| How many will listen to tape and vinyl in the next century? How many? Take the highest percentage pure copper in speaker cables, consider the remainder percentage, apply a coefficient far less than 1, multiply the result by the worlds population at 2100AD and obtain an overestimate proportional to the coef... | |

| Akitika GT-101 review Thanks, I wondered about Akitika kits, seeing them in ads only. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? As a general 'open' question it depends on all the aforementioned 'depends'. And additional ones, such as budget.My preference; I use a tube preamp with SS amp. I believe I get the most tube value in way of bloom and soundstage from this approach... |
