| Which B&K ST-140? Thanks Unsound. Phase angle? The sales guy never said anything about that.How do you calculate it? | |
| Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals? Thank you all. Some great suggestions.If you have never heard your CDs on a system that resolves the way a $100k system at the shop does, what is the point of listening to your CDs? You don't know what resolution is there and what's not even if yo... | |
| Amp design logic Well. My question about amp design turned into a huge lesson about the hifi business, and I wish I'd posed the question a little differently. I'm certainly in over my head in several ways. There is clearly some heavyweight experience and wisdom in... | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Ths364, thank you for your post, it makes me feel easier about getting the two old timers in spec, without taking a bath. Do you mean, put them back in the stream with the upgraded parts, or put the old ones back in? I have been listening to them ... | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Jeez. If Jolida's mods cost as much as Underwood's, then you had some good wine indeed.I searched Jolida's website for a list of the mods but I could not find one. Guess I will have to wait and call them. | |
| Amp design logic Thanks for all the enlightenment everyone. I was really hoping for a discussion of the components in a $1000 amp vs those in a $50,000 amp, and how much they, vs the designer's intellectual property, contribute to the quality (and cost) difference... | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Wolf, so how are you liking the Jolida? May I ask what other gear you've used that you can compare to? If you'd rather say it in email, I am at jkk251 at gmail dot com.Thanks much. | |
| Ever heard of, any opinions on, these speakers? Jamie (Zydo), would you terribly mind emailing me at jkk251 at gmail dot com ?I would really like to ask a couple questions since you have these speakers and are familiar with other brands. It would be a tremendous help, thanks. | |
| Ever heard of, any opinions on, these speakers? It was tight with the Anthem. Only once or twice did I notice any boominess. Plus they did not put the spikes in, and it was a foot from the back wall. I pulled it out 2 more feet but not much difference. Probably a 15x15 listening room. Think it ... | |
| Amp design logic Thank you all for the great discourse.I don't know that starting an amp from scratch is better than getting something like a CJ MV-55 and trying to make it sound like the way high end. | |
| Ever heard of, any opinions on, these speakers? Zydo, I have two reservations. I am not sure but think the resolution is lacking, particularly in the bass. I also think the bass is loose and boomy. What are your thoughts? What else do you sell?I need to go compare them more seriously to the PSB... | |
| Which B&K ST-140? Unsound, revealing my ignorance, what is a low impedence speaker generally? I think most are 8 ohms, a few 4 I have heard of. Do you mean 4 ohm speakers? Why is the B&K not good for 4 ohm-ers?Thanks.... | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Thanks Wolf, that gives me another possible modifier to check out. Those mods covered under warranty? What's the db on your Silverlines?Thanks...Jim | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Wolf, what preamp and speakers are you using with the Jolida?ThanksJim | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Wolf, I came to Jolida through another route, then called Underwood. I'm looking hard at this option. Then, not remembering which amp you mentioned, I came back to look at your post, so I'd have a list of the two new amps in my range. But yours wa... |
