Anybody heard of Girard turntables?
The older Garradr table can bring a lot of vinyl enjoyment to your listening. As Mlsstl mentioned above, they often require some service work before being put back into use.If you do a search, you will find a few that offer servicing to these tabl... 
Antique Sound Lab Hurricane MK1 vs MK2
Hello Carlesdg I have listened to about 30 pairs of Hurricane amplifiers and spent a lot of time with every version manufactured. To try to answer your original question, the latest MKII is not that different sonically than the later MKI versions ... 
Really warm cables for Tube amps and others....
I think the key here is that he has found a synergy within his system that provides a presentation he is happy with without having to replace one of his main two components (amp or speakers). "Build your system for yourself, not the critics" 
Zen Adagios...outriggers?
Yes, there are aftermarket outriggers available for the Adagio speakers. In fact, there is a pair for sale here at audiogon right now. Just type in Adagio. 
Polish for adagios?
I have not read all the responsses so my apologies if it has been mentioned. The best thing to use on the Adagio speakers is car wax. Get a good micro-fiber cloth and you're all set. I have been using car wax on many piano finish speakers for year... 
ModWroght Capacitors
OIMP capacitors are not to be confused with a typical "oil" capacitor. They have the speed, detail and articulation of a good poly film cap yet have the warmth and smoothness of an oil cap. Being in the industry and the fact that I use both Dan's ... 
Jolida JD-1000RC tube integrated amp
I will start out by saying I have been a Jolida dealer for many years so I will not post an "opinion" rather just describe it as best I can. I hope this post is not out of line. The JD1000 can be described as a powerful EL34 sounding amplifier. If... 
Jolida 1000RC Tube ???
Chgolatin2 As newbee mentioned, you are probably safe at this point as long as you are able to measure a bias within the indicated range (40mV +/- 5). If there was a problem within the amp, you would not be "working fine now". If you took out a c... 
Jolida 502A - Other owners, what speakers?
".....btw, Bill, I was under the impression that you had dropped the Usher line....." Yes, I did let the line go. I would not be recommending them if I still had them as this would be considered promoting business and against the rules. Even thoug... 
Jolida 502A - Other owners, what speakers?
Cleaneduphippy, While the AR.com speakers are nice, I think you are in for a real treat should you decide to move onto the Usher line. Any of their X-Series or 6-Series would be a very good match. Let us know what you decide and happy listening! 
Moded Jolida JD-9 or MAD Ultra 4SE?
I have not heard the MAD but can tell you that teh Jolida JD-9 sounds better than it has any right to for the money even out of the box. All the Jolida products are available for 220V. 
Jolida 502A - Other owners, what speakers?
Thanks for the kind words Cleaneduphippy. I have several customers running the Jolida / Usher combination with most combinations using the Usher 718 or 719. This is an exceptional match according to the feedback. A few are running with the Usher 6... 
Usher Model Question
I am no longer an Usher dealer so have nothing at all to gain with posting on this thread but I can shed some light. The new stand mount BE-718 speaker is the brainchild if Joseph D' Appolito. It was based on the 718 model which was one of my fav... 
One speaker is louder than the other
"...I think I have found the problem. the surrounds on both speakers are cracking and is worse on the right side. Plan to get them repaired this week....." That will do it. Let us know what happens after the repair. 
One speaker is louder than the other
Not knowing your setup, have to tried disconnecting the sub from the system. You would have to disconnect the cables from the preamp/integrated rather than simply turning the sub off. You didn't mention if the sub was in use with your previous arr...
