| Jolida JD-100 and Tube Dampeners the stock unit contains metal tube shields that are spring-loaded for dampening and attach with a bayonet mount. on my modded player, they are too difficult to remove and replace due to the larger caps, so i use a pair of hal-o dampeners to good e... | |
| Best Jimmy SMith/organ masters..... gotta love j. smith/wes montgomery "dynamic duo." | |
| catridge match with Morch DP-6 the flexibility of the moerch as stated above makes it a potentially good match with a wide variety of cartridges. i have used a dp-6 with excellent results mated to an allaerts mc1b. mine has been rock-steady in it's setup, so i can't account for... | |
| Tube suggestion for Jolida JD-100 n.o.s./used smooth-plate telefunkens. i do not feel the need to look any further. they replaced the svetlanas in a modified player. i tried some n.o.s. mazdas, but they were too forward in this application. that was my one and only switch, and now... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? it's very good. i'm an analog guy, but the jolida more than satisfies me, and i even look forward to listening to cds! that says something. i bought a modded player, popped in some smooth-plate telefunkens, upgraded the power cord, and use some hi... | |

| Where have all the protest songs gone? two words: BEN HARPER. Check out "fight for your mind," "welcome to the cruel world" and "the will to live." listened to the first title for the first time in awhile last night--brilliant. | |
| Cary sli-80 owners... currently using sylvania vt-231s, amperex 6dj8s, sylvania 5931s and valve art el34s. this too, is a very nice combo. i recommend rolling the input tubes first, then moving down the line. kt88s can be used, but i have been told (and not cofirmed it... | |
| Meadowlark owners if you have hot rods, i recommend internally re-configuring them for single-wire operation. i've had good results with Acrotec 1030s 6N solid core speaker cable. | |
| A Great Vintage Integrated? Good 'ol NAD 3020 integrated. Good luck in the search! | |
| Teres Turntable / Portland I am the happy owner of a Teres 245, albeit with acrylic armboard, and would essentially echo the sentiments of Twl having upgraded from an LP12 myself. These tables go head to head with the competition sound-wise, and IMHO surpass them in terms o... | |
| Why do DIY products have less value ? Man, the key is to not give a f*%k what other people think and just enjoy what YOU know to be the "truth." If people who see your system can't get past their visual perceptions and their value systems to hear the result, their loss. The MMTB crowd... | |
| Best Integrated Tube Amp for 2.5K or Less As a satisfied owner, I have to put in a good word for the Cary SLI-80 Signature (used). To hear it in it's stock form is to hear it's POTENTIAL. To replace all the tubes with NOS is to hear a completely different amp - detailed and musical, esp. ... | |
| allearts cartridges and rebuilding Do a search on the vinyl asylum for some recent discourse on the Allaerts line (with comparisons). There is also (finally) a website: www.jallaertscartridges.be These are up there with the best. |
