| 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. | |
| Ming Da MC-3008-A2 Mono Blocks I have not heard the latest version but have a lot of experience with Ming-Da products and have heard several of these amps. The 300B driving the 805 is a special sound. It provides you with plenty of body and warmth as well as the dynamic control... | |
| Modification Nightmares As a modder, the first thing I tell people is if you are not happy with what you have, upgradding or modifying it will not turn in into something it's not. I also recommend people spend some time with a product in stock form before investing in wh... | |
| Jolida 1501RC with 6 or 4 ohm speaker... I have been running a 1501RC with a pair of large custom speakers I built 10 years ago. They are about a 2.5 ohm load and I would say they have over 15,000 hours together without a bit of trouble. The 1501 is still running the original tubes even. | |
| Hurricane DT If you are getting no bias reading even with a good tube in place, the first thing to check is the B+ fuse located inside the amplifier. If you remove the bottom cover, you will see a fuse on one of the relay boards, this is the B+ fuse. It should... |
