| Jolida JD-100 New unit with bad HUM.....hum Can't help you beyond the fact that mine is mummless at any volume. Dosen't sound normal for this unit. | |
| Dedicated circuits and upgraded ports Budrew, I poured over the threads here for several weeks regarding this subject, there truly is a lot to read and digest. In my search, I also came across several folks here on Agon that I developed an e-mail dialog with that was imensley helpful.... | |
| Crimping bare speaker cable connections Thanks for your direction Lugnut. | |
| Crimping bare speaker cable connections Thanks for the clarification Lug. Have you done this with success? I may just try it. | |
| Why was Audiogon started? As I was reading down through the initial posts here I found myself in staunch disagreement with several mentioned comments. As I read further, I was thinking what I would write in response. When I came to the last four posters before me, I realiz... | |
| Crimping bare speaker cable connections Kotta, I think you nailed my situation... my amp dosen't accept bare wire well, so there I'm using a Furutec spade with two set screws (see pic at http://venhaus1.com/fp201.jpg). Reterminating my speaker ends periodically is not a problem only an ... | |
| Calling all acoustic guitar fans... Ians, thanks for the offer... but at this point, I have a ton of research to do. You guys are awesome! I have jumped over to Amazon to check some of these recommendations out and I already have 17 on my Wish List. | |
| Calling all acoustic guitar fans... Many thanks! I'll take the time to scope each of these out. Do you guys agree that there is something special about this kind of music played on a nice system? Sure specific jazz or blues sounds great too, but to hear acoustic guitar, it seems to ... | |
| My Jolida JD100 mod VS Music Hall CD25 mod I'm another owner of the Jolida (I have not heard the Music Hall so I'm not comparing here). My Jolida was purchased new from VeraStarr with minor mods: sound dampening sheets, electro-harmonix Russian 12AX7EH tubes and some sorbethane feet. I hav... | |
| Totem Forest or Thiel CS2.3 ? I thought the Mani 2 was excellent, but I believe it's more money, it's more difficult to drive and you need stands. I didn't feel they were justified compared to the Forests, but certainly another option for you. | |
| Free Tweak...does it work for you?? Sometimes when I pat my head and rub my stomach the soundstage seems larger, but, then again it might be because I'm wearing different colored socks, I'm still working on it. | |
| Totem Forest or Thiel CS2.3 ? I auditioned both of these speakers separately. I was very impressed with both. The Thiels were powered by Proceed equipment in a dedicated room. I liked the forward detailed sound, and just the clarity they produced. The Forests were powered by K... | |
| Best overall Speakers for $2,500.00 or less, New? I agree with many posts here that profess $2500 used opens up many doors vs. $2500 new. I just moved from a monitor speaker to a floor stander for little more than you have budgeted and I'm very happy with the result... full(er) spectrum of sound,... | |
| Guitar Solos Please do yourself a favor and check out a guy named Joe Bonamassa. I went to a BB King concert last year where Joe was the opening act. I thought "Joe who?" After he came on stage, he stole the show. Absolutely great guitar riffs. In 60 minutes h... | |
| Totem Hawk vs. Forest Congratulations Icsi, please let us know how you like them. I don't know what kind of following this speaker has here, but I've gotta believe it's a real contendor. Please update us all. |
