| Which is better, Jolida or Cayin? I've had the modded ta-30 for about six months and so far have had good luck with it. I have really enjoyed the soundstage and presence the unit creates. Something else about the amp is that the pleasure of lower volume listening is enhanced. For ... | |
| Best excuse for playing loud music? heheh, that's a good one 'I'm recording' hehehAnother good one is "I can't hear you, the music's too loud"The better sound I have heard is the 'low volume with everything there' type. Tho sometimes there is no substitute for cubic inches ;-) | |
| Besides Audio, what other ''passion'' do you have? I enjoy a number of other interests.Wife and family have to come first.Then, in no particular order:Cycling (I did a three hour ride today)Brewing beer, wine and mead.Drinking the above products ;-)PhotographyMotorcycling | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... MprimeTell us more about how well things go from there! ;-) | |
| Cry me a river I'd like to add another to the list.Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen ;-)Freddie Mercury was soo good. A shame we lost him. | |
| Cry me a river Unchained Melody gets me near every time. A while back I heard it done by some female singer(I wish I knew who) and it really tore me up, especially when she reached the higher octaves toward the end. Shivers, then- that soggy feeling.Funeral for ... | |
| 5 CD's on your current "permanent " rotation. Mancini's 'Breakfast at Tiffani's', Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Jorma Kaukonen 'Blue Country Heart', Allison Krauss & Union Station Live, and The Beatles Yellow Submarine- the later one with the compilation, not the soundtrack.All gre... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Honda st1100 and a 1970 cb750. The 750 is really custom, I built it up in '82 with lotsa neat bits. Very fun to ride. The st is a great rider, it does everything sooo well it's a little boring... | |
| The tweeter on my speaker has a crater...Help Take your vacuum and hook up the hose attachement. Turn it on and very carefully approach your tweeter with the hose. Do Not Get Too Close! The vac will pull the crater out of a soft dome easily, a metal dome may be tougher... | |
| "I am there" vs. "They are here" Zaikesman-Thanks for the well written response. What an interesting thing; to plunk a live trio in the spot where your system would be! What a let down (in a way) to find prediliction towards the reproduced version. That really says something posi... | |
| Stock Tubes on Cayin TA-30? I dunno-Some Chinese tube I guess... Paul @ 2B said it's tough to improve on the stock tubes. I think he mentioned an Electro Harmonix el34 that worked well in the output stage. The stock 12au7 were good - and the JJ tesla ecc83 for the 12ax7.Ive ... | |
| "I am there" vs. "They are here" Subaruguru-In your post back in '01 you touched on a subject that I had been puzzling over for some time.Pinpoint imaging I felt would be the mark of an attractive 'I am there' sound. It turned out not to be the case for me. It seemed rather unnat... | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? Nrchy-Funny, funny; lol, you da man... | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? I was exposed to Hi-Fi and live music from a young age, I thought all music sounded great until I heard lesser systems. Lucky me! My Dad was a cabinet and speaker builder in the Seattle area during the 60s and 70s. We had a system he built that we... | |
| Cayin TA-30 thoughts... A rather chunky old Sony Sacd 333 unit. The speakers are a DIY Dynaudio 52 model, with a 12" sub patterned on the Ariel. I find little use for the sub with the addition of the Cayin, but sometimes it gets powered up. |
