jolida jd100 or music hall cd25 modified?
I have Compared the Jolida with Rega Planet 2000, and SimAudio Moon Nova. I have upgraded the tubes in the Jolida, and use a silver plated copper Power cord, as well as Silver plated Copper IC's I also damped the inner chassis, and put the player ... 
Why MDF so Bad???
MDF is a high profit material. That is why it is used....Just like anything mass produced, there are so many levels odf distribution, speakers need to be made as inexpensive as possible... 
Power Amp Tweaking
I use a solid granite slab with stiff ceramic cones underneath, which really has worked great with both my SS and tube gear. I prefer cones over sorbo personally because they will "drain" as well as isolate. I usually go with something that people...

Theta Dreadnaught vs. Earthquake Cinenova?
I think the amp you are looking for is the CINEPRO 3K6SE GOLD. Your application is the exact niche it was designed for. It has incredible power and dynamics, but also is incredibly quiet, and detailed. They are $8,000 amps , and are selling for ab...

Jolida vs. Planet 2000 vs. Fidelity A3
Funny you sould pose this question. I recently bought a JD 100 and swapped out the tubes for Electro Harmonix, and damped the chassis. I needed a second player for my office, so I bought the Planet 2000. After an A/B the Jolida took the cake for a...

Cinepro 3K6SE GOLD 
Is Cinepro any good?
The Amplifiers, and power products are built extremely well, and are still very much available with full support and service. Something this great will not be allowed to die. 
Anyone heard/heard of "Deep Rumba"?

Anyone have feedback on the CINEPRO 3K6SE GOLD ??
Anyone buying one of these units from Verastarr is very much covered by the company who makes them, which never was Cinepro anyway. There are parts, service, and support for Cinepro as we speak. 
Anyone have feedback on the CINEPRO 3K6SE GOLD ??
