| What's better than the Jolida JD100 there are many cd players out there which may be preferred over the jolida. it's a matter of opinion, as sound is subjective. we all have our favorites. right now, the joilida is not one of them.perhaps, if i heard it again, my attitude would be d... | |

| Best new loudspeaker once more: there is no best of anything. my perception of naturalness of timbre leads me to prefer the quad 57 in comparison to most speakers. my preference does not mean that i think the quad 57 is the best speaker, or the best at reproducing tim... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? hi mr g:a wise man know that he knows not. he who says he knows when he knows not is a fool.how did knowledge get into this ?you make an excellent point about talking about music and sound.you can enjoy the music without enjoying the sound, and yo... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi ralph:thank you for all of the intellectual jousting. you are contributing to the health of a 66 year old brain. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? if there is no best, because "best" does not exist in audio, then, i suppose the word "favorite" should be substituted. this is not a subtle distinction.whenever the word best is used as a descriptor, it implies some standard for judging. for ever... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? in all areas of life, there is no best of anything.there are too many variables, and some of them will be imprecisely measured, so that judgement is unreliable.many speakers have been mentioned in this discussion.it is therefore not possible to sa... | |

| What's better than the Jolida JD100 i will pay close attention to a jolida cd player, the next time i hear it. all i can say is my audionote player is more subtractive in the treble than the jolida, regardless of line cord and tube. | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? how is a speaker driven to hard with a 30 watt power amp at 72 db, if for example it is rated at 85 db/1 watt/1 meter ?i would understand trying to produce 85 + db, subject to room size as perhaps being a problem, but not 72db. | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi ralph:is perception reality ?there is no contradiction in saying i perceive a to be less inaccurate than b. note, i perceive is the key. i can't say what is real and what is not.what is a measurable increase in performance ? as soon as you say ... | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music? when you use the word "quality" to judge books, wine, food and art, the word much be defined so that one can recognize what quality is. quality is subjective. if i like it, it is good quality, if i don't quality is not good. thus, it is possible t... | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? hi narrod:it's too bad you weren't at an audio meeting when i demonstrated the 1.6s with a 4 watt amp. i would have given you a barf bag, or you might have passed out. it was the best sound i heard from those speakers. bernadette peters sol rendit... |
