Under 1500$ Solid State Amp for Usher Be-718
I don't think Musical Fidelity is considered a warm sounding amp. At least this is my experience with their onlder gear. I have not heard their newer stuff. The Usher amp does, in my opinion, have a very good sense of midrange warmth and does quit... 
What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear
Like Atmasphere, I too would have to say our own Purity Audio Design pieces. There are other preamps I do like and dislike which aided in the design of ours.Preamps I do like include; Shindo, Audio Note as well as some of the new upper end solid s...

Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review
"....If you have efficient speakers the Black Magic may be the way to go. Amazing little amp for the money...."After hours at Capital Audio Fest we put the 20 watt Black Magic into the system (Purity Audio Design Statement preamp, Daedalus Audio A... 
Manufacturers' warning not to change tubes
Being a manufacturer of tube preamplifier, I can say that we have come across issues with many NOS tubes. Many consumers have contacted us with issues including poor channel balance or poor sound. My first comment is always to install the tubes th... 
ming-da
If you do come across a schematic for this amp, be sure to look it over carefully to assure it matches the unit you have. There are several changes made within the Ming-Da products that do not show up on schematics. 
Jolida jd-502p
The 5751 is simply a lower gain version of the 12AX7. It will not do any harm in the circuit and is a direct replacement. Like it better? Only you will be able to make that decission. 
Onda Cables RMAF, anyone hear them or opinions ?
They were at this year's RMAF. We had a chance to install their upper end line, including power cables, in our Purity Audio Design room on Saturday. They also used our Purity Silver Statement in their room the second half of the show. The Onda cab... 
world's best preamp closest to real sound stage
I think this thread has gone in too many different directions. To expand on what Atmasphere said......Speakers do make a difference. Preamps do make a difference. The source makes a difference. Amplifiers do make a difference. Cables and the room ... 
Rega Brio R or Jolida 301RC
I have not heard the Rega in some time but was a dealer for Jolida for a long time. I can tell you that the Jolida 301 is a very impressive unit is does not get the claim it deserves. I am no longer a dealer but still have two of these pieces arou...

Modern Linestages
Thank you Grannyring for your post on 8-27 where you go through some of the cost of running a company and developing upper end products. Our Purity Audio Design linestage was reviewed in that same Absolute Sound issue as the Constellation pieces. ... 
XLR to RCA Adapters
If you are not looking at replacing your preamp with a balanced unit anytime soon, then yes, going with the Jensen transformer would be the best route to take and provide the best results IMHO. There are advantages of running bal. to bal. (given b...

First as a disclaimer - I am an audio dealer and manufacturer.One of my associates run a pair of King Sound "King II" panel speakers with the new McAlister Audio OTL 195 mono bloc tube amps and has no problem with these difficult speakers. 
Jolida.net???
Don't worry about buying a JD3000 preamp. It is a nice unit for the money and finding one on A-Gon for $500-$600 is a good deal. I would be sure to get one manufactured by Jolida in Maryland USA as they will not service or warranty units purchased...
