| 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 charles1dad... I apologize if my post came across as someone here suggesting that companies should not make a profit. I meant it as a general statement as it has been suggested (indirectly) in various threads over the years that companies should n... | |
| 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... | |
| OTL Tube Amp for Maggie 3.6? 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... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? Disclosure - I am an audio manufacturer as well as owning a retail company. I am not a VS dealer.I don't know how anyone who has owned a VS speaker or ever spoken to Albert can have anything negative to say. Albert and his crew seemed to me to be ... | |
| Jolida 302 b disaster This new switch has six pins on the back as opposed to the four on the old switch. What do I do? Will this switch work? UghYour new switch is a double throw and will work just fine. As long as the switch is in properly, the best way to figure it o... | |
| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz At Purity Audio Design, we are only looking forward. You can't dwell on the past. The outcome of RMAF 2010 proves that this industry is on the upswing. We took our chances and debuted our whole line at the show knowing that music is still strong i... | |
| Best "Upgrades" to Jolida 202a The Jolida 202 uses basically the same circuit as the 302/502 (much different transformers) so any upgrades that work in these amps will also work in the 202. For a few critical upgrades, I recommend the following.1) Remove the volume and selector... | |
| Usher S-520 amp pairing Sfar is correct in that the 520's need some warmth upstream. With solid state gear, I would recommend heavy copper cabling throughout. If a subwoofer is going to be used, it would greatly balance out the range so the upper end will not come across... | |
| pacific valve&electric Pacific Valve is one of the only importers that stand behind the products they sell. I have had several Ming-Da preamps through here from Pacific Valve with no problems. I have no experience with the Doge preamp. |
