| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Bill Baker of Response Audio likes the RCA 12AU7 clear top - would be worth a try. Hey lurkers, let us know your favorites. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? The Sylvania - Exactly like I hear it. I still want to find a cheap gold plate cup substitute for the Holy Grail. | |
| PassX-250 vs PassX-350 I went to their site and checked out the feedback issue. Nutella is right. Funny, I never saw that before, and I owned an X150. The X150 is a great amp with lots of spunk and clarity. There was nothing offensive about it's top end. It smoked a Kre... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Rkt008, end their suffering, and tell them you are just joking ;-) | |
| PassX-250 vs PassX-350 Bhouser, I was being mean. Actually, I agree with your premise. That is to say, lead speakers should not be matched with golden amps. The catch is, gold can be paid for, or just found, if your lucky and/or knowledgable. My X600 amps are pushing &l... | |
| Where do tubes matter most??? I'm with Unsound, and Karls for perhaps the same reason. I use to be all tubes, including cdp. Then I was convinced into buying the Pass X amp by an amp builder. These things run so clean, that I found all I needed for tubes was my trusty cdp.I ca... | |
| PassX-250 vs PassX-350 Good for you. Peter (right up the hill from me) might not like me saying this, but it's their fault - Pass Amps are so dependable, buying used is a safe bet. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Mijknarf, yeah, you know it, I wouldn't have invested in the X600, if I didn't believe my Scintillas would put me in heaven. I heard my 1 ohm speakers in the mid eighties, so I had no question whether to spend a car's ransom on amps to drive them.... | |
| PassX-250 vs PassX-350 Nutella, that's new to me. I never heard the X150 and 250 use feedback while the larger ones don't. I do know, for a fact, all X amps employ a small amount of feedback in their supersymmetry circuits to help equalize distortion matching. As far as... | |
| PassX-250 vs PassX-350 What is your speaker's efficiency? The 350 will run in class A louder than the 250, and that will affect your perception. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Hi Mijkarf, I did a quick search up the ladder but couldn't find a clue word. They are the Gold Box grey plate gold pin tubes, right? Harsh? this what "Joe" had to say: "Sylvania Gold Brand grey pl ate gold pin - OK, this is the legend. When peop... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Really, that does not matter. When I made the comment about my surprise at the (who was it?) purchase of gold pin grey plates, it was for my not having found them, not that they were better in any way than the black plates. My favorite tube in the... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? Sure thing. The last I saw, the Sylvanias were approaching a hundred dollars a pair. | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? In your system, who knows. In my system, there is no tube to compare to the Sylvania at three times the cost.The Stage is hardly the bottom of the Apogee line. It is the last full range designed. It is also the smallest. Using stronger magnets and... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? I've shipped two pairs of big Apogees via an antiques mover, where they strapped the speakers to the side of the truck surrounded by blankets. My Stages came via Fed Ex Air untouched. That was kinda lucky. Off and on there are Apogees for sale in ... |
