| Constructing Stands for Quads Thanks Newbee. Good advise. I will experiment using cinder blocks first. The room I'm currently in (part of a rental house) has somewhat bloated bass response with the Quads on the floor. However, I plan on moving into another house in the next si... | |
| Constructing Stands for Quads Whoops, did I say "coasters"? I meant "castors". | |
| What am I to do about I've got the Stratos dual mono amp, and it is definitely not harsh. It can't be the culprit. I play it with Harbeth Compact 7's and a NEW 12AX7 preamp, and the whole system is very warm. The amp has a very low input impedence (10k) - so if you dec... | |
| compact bookshelf speaker for my system The Epos are very nice sounding - I installed them in a friends system and we were both pretty amazed. However, they are rear portin, and that would present a problem in a bookshelf. | |
| Source for volume control knob Try Newark electronics - they've got a huge variety. | |
| i hate to ask but I Really Need Help Try making sure everything is plugged into the same outlet (use a power strip if necessary) and see if it goes away then. If it goes away, there is a differential b/t the two outlets. | |
| Selling speakers here at Audiogon How about putting them in CLEAN plastic bags prior to packing? | |
| remote control volume solution for Jolida 502B? Depends how handy you are, or whether you're willing to pay a tech, and drill a hole in the faceplate for a remote detector. I recently researched the issue of adding remote to a non-remote unit (preamp) and came up with two things. You can contac... | |
| Epos els 3 vs Triangle Titus $300 range new/used.. The Triangles were definitely too bright for me - I found the treble a bit harsh and found myself backing away, both with a Jolida tube amp and a Classe SS amp. I replaced them with Linn Tukans, and found that a significant improvement to my ears.... | |
| Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears? I too have Tinnitus, and it occurs at relatively low levels. When I'm talking with people or listening to music, I don't notice it at all. As far as I know, there are no "medical" methods of treating it, though you can find FAQ's on the web about ... | |
| My Jolida JD100 mod VS Music Hall CD25 mod Hi Seekburk, Just to clarify, I wasn't dissuading you from making the mods. I made mods on mine too. I was just putting the player into context regarding the resolution issue. This is the only comparison I made, but the difference indeed came up o... | |
| My Jolida JD100 mod VS Music Hall CD25 mod I have the Jolida with internal damping, GE black plate triple mica - and it sounds good. I've tried a few current production tubes: sovtec longplates, EI's, and they sound good too, though slightly different. The Jolida is good, but not a giant k... | |
| Classical or Jazz FM stations-Bainbridge/Seattle? KBCS has some good jazz shows, but they actually specialize in folk. On Bainbridge, you might be able to get CBC (Canadian), but you may need the right antenna. I know you can get it in Port Townsend.Does anyone know whether any of the stations pl... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs WATT/Puppy 7 I have to say that I've heard the WP 7's sound beautiful driven by a pair of Lamm 18 watt monoblok triodes. Very resolved, nice tonal balance. Lamm has used the Wilsons during the last two CES shows I've been at. | |
| Norah Jones on Bluenote?? Her new release is out February 10th. I'd like to get it in vinyl, but don't have a clue as to whether it will be available in vinyl. |
