Possible move to tubes… help direct me
After reading all the responses here, and picking up on similar responses on a post that Bigkidz has going, I'm seeing the "vastness" of options in tube amps. Some other models that people seem to hold in high regard are Musical Ref. RM-200, Quick... 
What's under your bookshelf speakers?
I use the stuff that is used to keep area rugs from sliding around. It's available in various sizes at home centers or discount stores. It's only 1/16" thick and can be cut easily with scissors.

I changed to GMA Europas. I had just bought a pair of Totem Forests, I liked them a lot, but prefer monitors in my set up. After all of the reading here about the Europas, I thought I'd go and give them a listen. I called Roy at GMA to inquire abo...

I like the advice on all suggestions, especially the BAT amps. Unfortunately, my Jolida is only rca out, and my attenuators are naturally rca as well. I'd love to operate the x250 in balanced mode, but it's not in the cards right now. Ideally, I'd...

Looking for a cd player with analog or digital vol
The suggestions offered so far from Mahandave and Arch2 are good ones. Another choice you have to to buy a set of attenuators from www.tweakaudio.com. These mount on the rear of your amp via the rca jacks. Essentially, your ICs running from your c... 
Jolida JD 100a - help w/Buzz when using headphones
Although I don't use headphones (yet), I don't hear any buzz in the transport of my Jolida. I can say, I have always heard a slight sound of the spinning disc itself, which I wouldn't describe as a "buzz". This sound can only be heard between trac... 
Amp for Dynaudio Special 25's
Good considerations so far, I would think a Pass Labs x250 would also fit the bill, check one out. Good luck!

VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects
I've been using his Pulsar ICs for over a month now. Although I only have about 75 hours on them, from the start I couldn't believe the clarity of these wires. Like most of us, I did the IC & speaker cable carousel using brands like Audience a...

Holy cow! My degree is in Mechanical engineering so naturally, if I can't see it I can't understand it! My head is still spinning after reading your detailed response. I'll just let it go and assume that my little 3-pronged vs. 2 pronged response ... 
Jolida JD-100 New unit with bad HUM.....hum
Just a thought I forgot until now, when I bought my JD100 it replaced a 15 year old Philips CD carousel. The Philips only had a 2-pronged plug, the JD100 of course has a 3 prongged plug (ground). When I first hooked up the JD100, I had a tremendou...
