| Thinking outside the bean Howard, don't tempt me. Looking at La Pavoni Romantica I might have to wait a while with that amp upgrade.You know we would be all lost if Italians would make audio gear as great as espresso machines.... | |
| Thinking outside the bean Boa2: The story can't be true; no serious Italian I know (say hello to Gina) would make an espresso with an electrical espresso machine. A stovetop espresso maker is the way to go.You could still use the powercord to power the stove though. | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman Washline, very nice comments. I completely agree that the current circumstances for dealers are very harsh and difficult, on one side the Internet and Best Buy on the other hand a very spezialized market. I have almost stopped going to dealers for... | |
| Denver Hi-End? Try Sounds Real Audio to try some Cain & Cain speakers (e.g. Cain Abby). Jim is one of the really nice guys ... Enjoy Denver and don't froget to take a trip into the mountains! | |
| A tade more briteness - Jolida 302b. Tubes? Goatwuss, the Jolida can't be used as a preamp, since it needs a constant load on the outputs. From my own experience I can say that the Jolida is limited by its stock chines tubes. Changing the input ones to other, current production or NOS tubes... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman Dlstephenson, my point exactly. Nice to see someone else thought Cinematic_Systems' comment and view was as far fetched. | |
| A tade more briteness - Jolida 302b. Tubes? Gretsch6120, I think I posted this in your other thread, but this should do:Powertubes: SED (Svetlana) EL43 or JJ E34LI liked the SED a bit more than the JJ, smoother highs, a little softer bass, deeper soundstage. However, I had a couple of SED f... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman Cinematic_Systems: Thanks for the posterboy!Your niche interest in niche audio is exactly my point. Who's going to make a living selling that stuff?I never aspired to keep the whole high-end industry going. But here are a couple of increasing numb... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman This is a funny thread, audiophiles are completely at fault for this situation.Funny, I would say the opposite: Last time I got good service at a storefront dealer was ten years ago in Europe. Never mind that my first system after moving to the US... | |
| Jolida 302B/502B? I used to run a Jolida 302b with Spendor S3/5: a match made in heaven. I also would suggest the 302b rather than the 502b. The 302b is supposed to have a much nicer midrange than the 502b, while the 502b has much better control in the bass, which ... | |
| Best $300 or less Tube Headphone Amp Bottlehead S.E.X. Even works as an excellent integrated amp for high efficiency speakers. And best of all, you will learn some soldering on the way and get the choice of your own finish :)Take a look at:Bottlehead S.E.X. ampGood luck on your search. | |
| Don't let this happen to you Hey, in all the 30+ concerts, I attended over the past 8 year in Albuquerque, people were clapping and shouting 'Bravo' inbetween all movements. I loved it; it's a very unprententous, natural reaction. And the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and the... | |
| Down graded, with fantastic results Hi Gretsch,some tubes I liked on my Jolida 302b:Powertubes: SED (Svetlana) EL43 or JJ E34LI liked the SED a bit more than the JJ, smoother highs, a little softer bass, deeper soundstage. However, I had a couple of SED failing after very short time... | |
