| Any high quality music servers out there? Is there a good online source (Canada/US) for the Waveterminal U24? I am looking to getting started on a hard drive based system using an Apple powerbook.Thanks,Rene | |
| Down graded, with fantastic results Congrats on the Jolida. It is an excellent amp for the price. And it responds very well to tube rolling. In my case it replaced $2800 worth of solid state electronics.Enjoy! | |
| Anyone spend more on their system than their car? Nice to see everyone here got their priorities right....Trying to be environmentally conscious, I actually don't have a car right now. Actually getting around by public transport is somewhat freeing and I never spent as much on Audio and Music bef... | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell Hi Jim,A quick question: What reasons to you see for moving from a home based business to a storefront retail store? Expansion? Privacy? More access to selling different brands? I know selling out of your home is not ideal and very common. However... | |
| Neutral powercords Here is an excellent thread by Agon member TVAD about different powercords including very helpful comments on which PCs are neutral, or warm and full-bodied:Power Cord FlavorsOf course, as Zargon mentioned the performance of any cable is very much... | |
| Best $1k Integrated Amp for Spendor S3/5's Just a comment on the Unison Unico: I had the Unico for a couple of months, and I was not very impressed to say the least. I tried a couple of different tubes in the Unico but compared to the EL34 based Jolida it sounded veiled, lifeless and borin... | |
| Best $1k Integrated Amp for Spendor S3/5's I really liked my Jolida 302b with a pair of Spendor S3/5. The Jolida had more detail, better soundstage, and smoother less fatiguing highs than a either a Linn Classik and a Linn Wakonda/LK85. The Jolida also had less problems driving the S3/5 co... | |
| Tube pre w/ remote and phono: used 5-$600..... Not that much choice out there: Quicksilver Preamp, Audcom AP-150 tube preamp (see also TAD 150)If you drop the remote I would look at:Bottlehead Seduction and Foreplay combo special, Audible Illusions preamps.Gmood's idea of hiring a designer to ... | |
| B&W Rip-Off I would agree with Edesilva if it would not say the following straight from the seller's website:Today it is easy to say most every speaker brand on the market has the bulk of their manufacturing duties performed in China. Not a copy or reproducti... | |
| First Watt Amps The F1 and F2 are both current source amps, i.e. the work best with crossoverless speakers, as for example Fostex and Lowther drivers. Both F1 and F2 are limited to 100 pieces.The Aleph is a "standard" (if you can say standard for any of Nelson Pa... | |
| Fi Preamps I ordered a Fi Y, but have not received it. I can tell you more in couple of weeks. Art Dudley was(is?) using the original Fi preamp. Maybe worth dropping him an email.Rene | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell But seriously would you be more apt to buy brands that advertise a lot in the TAS and Stereophile?Advertizing was never really important (just can't stand ads in general). But I used to orient myself using Stereophile and TAS reviews. These days I... | |
| Why so little info on Welbourne Labs here? DIY crowd hardly visits the AUdiogon forum for discussions. Take a look at Audioasylum: There is much information there. There even used to be a separate forum for Welborne labs, just like for Bottlehead. The Welborne labs forum closed a couple of... | |
| First Impressions of a First Watt - the Aleph J Nice to hear your impressions of the Aleph J. I just received a First Watt F1 to be run with my Cain Abbys. I am still waiting for a preamp (a 6922 based Fi Y), and will post my impressions then.Funny, I got mine shipped across the border to Canad... | |
| On the fense: PrimaLuna ProLogue II or Jolida 302 Gretsch, it's not quite correct the price ot the Jolida 302b to the Prologue II. The Prologue One which uses EL34 tubes is a much better comparison. I can't say much about the sound but, The Prologue has a slightly better finish and built quality.... |
