| Which tubed cd player for this system I apologize for underestimating your review preparation. Know too, I am not an "audiophool."Your insistance the Jolida is lame leaves me befuddled. How is it your audition of that particular unit left you with such negative feelings, when the rest... | |
| Which tubed cd player for this system Bill Baker of Response Audio, who sells Jolida and other brands, was furious with me when I confronted him with the same criticisms you lay out . He yelled at me, You are just the latest to bring me the bad news about their new Jolida 100, and th... | |
| Which tubed cd player for this system Well, Socrates, you are holding out on us. State your problems with the Jolida, and that was with versus what? By the way....Phillips, not Burr Brown. | |
| To upgrade cd player?? The slippery slope? Hey Miser, Phasecorrect overstated the similarity between CDPs. I happen to own an Onkyo of similar vintage. I also own the Jolida. While the Jolida was on loan, starving for music, I plugged the old Onkyo in, and immediately unplugged it. I'd rat... | |
| Cary 308T CDP vs. ? I confess I have not heard the Cary. I do have the Jolida 100 running at it's best. I can't imagine why anyone would shell out a couple of grand more, when the Jolida is breath takingly real sounding.Hearsay does not carry much weight, but, for wh... | |
| How hot do a pair of Pass Labs X600 amps run ? Ah! and thus the 200 fully class A watts XA housed in the formidable X - 1000 chasis. This should give pause to owners of the trim mega watt "class A" amps that abound. | |
| How hot do a pair of Pass Labs X600 amps run ? In a house with 62 light bulbs, all of which are left on too much due to kids, the initial extra cost of the monos was absorbed without raising WAF ire, and that is a good thing.All of the 600 watts are lost to heat when not running. I suppose, at... | |
| How hot do a pair of Pass Labs X600 amps run ? The 600 white papers say 150 watts. They act like there is more. The heat sinks are huge, and do get good and hot. Each amp weighs in at 150#. | |
| How hot do a pair of Pass Labs X600 amps run ? That idle figure gives about a 150 watts of class A continuously. I have a pair running at this moment as I write. They are breathing sublime life into the toughest speaker load known to audio. The blue back lit dial is resting quietly in it's cus... | |
| To upgrade cd player?? The slippery slope? Jolida Jolida Jolida - and stop there with the CDP. It will be just fine through many upgrades of your other equipment. | |
| Jolida, to modify or not... You are going to get replies you definitely should, and if I had heard one, I might be inclined to agree. My past experience has led me to be suspicious of expensive mods. IMO previous mods of older Jolida cd players were a waste of money. A frien... | |
| Which tubed cd player for this system Docjr8156, Siemens is the better tube. Mullards haze the sound. Also, I have heard things go terribly bad sonically with fancy wires. Having an open mind, though, I hope to hear the Ah! tjoeb some day. | |
| Which tubed cd player for this system We just did this one a few topics down> "How does the Jolida JD-100 compare to..." Check it out. It's an eye opener. | |
| Jeff Rowland 10 vs. Pass Lab x350? And I know someone who owned both simultaneously. He preferred the Pass hands down. One must listen to them for themselves. | |
| How does the Jolida JD-100 compare to... Hi BobI have a friend who recently bought Green Mountain speakers. He is powering them with a Wadia and Levinson. It passes my trusty Leo Kottke test disk with flying colors - almost no do. He auditioned Renault speakers too, and they were great a... |
