| Ok this will be a good thread. Musiqlovr, I whole heartedly agree with you, speakers should always come first. Let me explain.I use to frequent an audio business of rare quality. It was owned by Keith Yates of home theater design fame. He carried only the very best components. ... | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? Sorry if I stepped on your toes, Maxgain. I was just hurrying through topics and I saw this one and it brought back memories. | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? I tried my first Apogee dipoles in a room with a wide three sided bay window and it just sounded confused and imageless. | |
| Words From the Wise 1. Go to the ends of the earth to listen to as many great systems you can find.2. Do not bother with hi fi stores unless you are lucky enough to have a holy grail audio store nearby (they are rare).3. When you find the sound to fall in love with, ... | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... Asa, you got it:http://audioworld.com/cgibin/sw/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=1&SUBMIT=GoAlso, as a reviewer, you might find the next site interesting. It holds information on all the Apogees, including reviews, user systems, and s... | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... Yes Asa, the Scinnies are better, thanks for asking. Some quantitatively, but much more qualitatively. The Scinnies are a speaker apart.I might do the Supra by and by. I love tubes. Thanks to the huge power reserves of the 600 I can pedal the <... | |
| Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar About the Burr Brown vs. Phillips: There is nothing in my manual that says one way or the other. Mark Allen told me he uses Phillips and not Burr Brown. Here is a portion of a Jolida 100 review:"The JD-100A is a departure from most high end machin... | |
| Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar I distrust "upgrades." Putting together electronics to make a well hued sound is something of an art form, consisting of careful balancing of electronics. Mark Allen told me of how when they finished the JD 100 prorotype, it sounded too bright to ... | |
| Do you leave your SS amp on all the time? Stand by. Why pay the extra dough? | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... I'm agreeing with Asa and others. There is no reason to think you are giving up on tube "magic" when you switch out the tube monster amp for an ultra clean superbly designed ss amp - if you keep tubes in the front end, or pre amp. No worry, all th... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Juicebox, buy whatever turns you on. Don't go into debt doing it, though, it's clear you are already suffering from cable madness. | |
| Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar Oh yes, SACD. I don't like SACD. A lot of music lovers don't like SACD. When listening tests were performed on same matter music using SACD and DVDA, the DVDA clearly took the "more real" honors. I know cutting edge audiophiles that agree. | |
| Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar Take the Jolida at $550, if it is mint. What tubes does it have? You might get lucky there. The Jolida was designed and produced solely for it's sound, not hype that looks good on paper. Mark Allen of Jolida told me he decided to not use the "me t... | |
| Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar Hey BillVinyl is still tops, despite it's negatives. Cds do nicely with good equipment. DVDA looks to me to be the future for sonic quality. I use my JD 100 in conjunction with big Pass X 600 monoblocks and a Pass pre amp too. This all feeds the i... | |
| Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar I haven't heard the Cary or Shanling and I don't care to. Given the sterling performance of the Jolida, there is no incentive for me to shell out big bucks. I owned a Jolida 603 player and it was the best under $1500 dollar cd player you could get... |
