John DeVore is a Manhattan apartment dweller and tests his speakers in real living spaces in the city. I highly recommend his designs, I've owned the 8's and S... | |
| $500 sub for Quad 11L2s I had an HSU STF-2 and liked it a lot. They're available on the HSU site now for $319.Another one to consider, especially if you would prefer something physically smaller than the HSU, is the Mirage Omni S8 or S10. I replaced the HSU with the S8 a... | |
| WHICH ONE TO BUY? There are lots of good subwoofers that offer speaker-level inputs in addition to the more common line-level inputs. Using one of them eliminates the need to have a pre-out from the amp. Investigate REL, HSU, Mirage and others. | |
| Jolida FX Tube DAC Jedinite24 - The 5751 was recommended to me but because I'd received several pair of vintage 12ax7's in a tube swap I never pursued any of the other types. I've used vintage and new Tung Sol, RCA black plate, Matsushita, Sylvania/Baldwin, the stoc... | |
| Reference 3A DeCapo " Blue Tak" question My experience matches Rebbi's. It takes very little BluTak to get a good bond, I used four small balls hardly larger than a BB. And the trick for removing the speaker from the stand is important. Don't try to lift at all, hold the stand firmly in ... | |

| Simple ? iTunes Question Puerto - It's hard to diagnose your issue from a distance but I suspect what you need to do is start over with the import process. I tried to duplicate your situation by installing a fresh copy of OSX on a clean hard drive, which includes the iTun... | |
| Simple ? iTunes Question I'm not sure this solves your problem but you do need to specifiy the location of the iTunes music library if you want it stored somewhere other than the default, which would be the internal drive on you iMac.Open iTunes and select 'Preferences' u... | |
| Character of EL-84 amps Mt10425 -- I don't have any experience with the sound of the 6p1t tube and can't comment on that but just a caution that it's not interchangeable with the EL-84 tube. This from the tnt-audio review of the Sophia Baby, "The quad of output tubes are... | |
| Character of EL-84 amps The Jolida FX10 integrated is EL-84 based, 10 watts/channel and a real bargain. Difficult for me to compare the sound to my EL-34/KT-88 amp because everything about them and their systems is so different but the Jolida does have an openness that w... | |
| Jolida FX Tube DAC This is an aside but if you have the FX DAC or the integrated and don't care for the bright blue LEDs there are a couple of things you can do about it. I have the FX10 integrated on a shelf directly above the computer monitor in my office and the ... | |
