| Jolida JD102CRC PrimaLuna prologue 2 just popped up for 795. This might be the piece you have been looking for. It is an integrated. | |
| Jolida JD102CRC I've read nice things about peachy stuff, however, it is a mosfet amp with a high bred tube pre incorporating a dac. Not actually what you set out for but may meet your goal sonically. Best of luck but I think you might have been well served by a ... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC Don't walk but run over to Audio Asylum and look at the Quick Silver Mini' monos that are there for 800 per pair. These are great tube amps and are rated at 25 watts and should drive your Vandy's. This will give you a real opportunity to experienc... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC No.....but with the right speakers. Of course that would mean a total new system.....but hey.....it just hi fi and that is what makes this hobby fun. I think I just spied a pair of horn shop speakers in the classify section for 600. The Inspire a ... | |
| Jolida JD102CRC The Dennis Had kt88 inspire is sure a sweet amp....Coupled with a passive pre and your nad phono would make a nice combo with the right speakers. Check it out in the tube amp for sale section. | |
| Jolida JD102CRC I owned a 102b and enjoyed it very much. The el84 tubes are inexpensive and fun. Biasing isn't too fussy and it plays nicely. The new 102 comes stock with a Alps blue velvet the older ones came with a cheaper alps. I modded mine to accept the blue... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? I believe my ears. I have listen to an analog signal converted on the fly from all sample rates and bit depths. The difference for me is obvious, with higher res always sounding closer to the source. Attack and decay of notes are almost always an ... | |
| Tape Slipping out of guide on a TEAC X1000R If it was refurbished this should happen. Sounds like a pinch roller issue. Contact the seller. | |
| Rogue Speaker cable: Hard to believe?? I believe Rogue uses bulk Canare speaker cable and terminates and finishes them off. Canare makes good cable. A lot of your recordings were made with their mic cables as well as many studios are wired with them. Mogami is another recording and liv... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage This is getting pathetic. So what that people don't agree on the fine details and specifics. Maybe to a degree what everyone is adding, in their experience, is the truth. I know that there is truth to what everyone has added. An inexpensive system... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Most....If not all the music you listen to was mixed and mastered on a computer. I'd rather listen to my master sessions directly from my 2 track mixes via computer than burned to a disc. As a matter of fact....With hd so cheap I no longer save an... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage My comment was not meant as being judgmental of musical taste, but rather as a recording engineer with 33 years of experience meant to reinforce the fact that real 3d sonics, or something that can best approach that is both system and source sensi... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage You need real instruments played in real space and recorded correctly for ultimate 3d playback. The rest is, at best, smoke and mirrors. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store 75 percent of folks going into a retail store do not plan on buying in the moment. Further, hobby stores, which for most audio is, thrives on the culture in nature's and creates, which means creating relationships with like minded folks while disc... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Don't expect 3d imaging from hip hop...rap or most pop music....it just isn't there. Try some nicely recorded live jazz or classical to determine what your systems baseline is.....of course the above recommendation with set up and room treatment w... |
