| Got Static? I had a problem with static as well. I bought a 4" X 2" rectangular static discharge mat which I keep in the top of my rack. It grounds to the screw on the wall outlet. Before I touch the system, I tough the mat and it discharges the static. I get... | |
| JOLIDA Issue If it is a new unit, call Mike at Jolida. They will promptly replace it with a new one. I had a similar problem with their CD player a few years ago. It worked for a day then started skipping on every disc. Mike sent me a new one via FedEx next da... | |
| Addendum to That is assuming that Rega is still in business in 50 years. | |
| Buying a used cartridge...tell us your tale. I bought a used Dynavector DV20L and the suspension was totally collapsed. Although the cartridge sounded wonderful, the bottom of the cartridge was scraping the record. I ended up selling the cartridge at a 400.00 loss to someone who was going to... | |
| Anybody own Marantz sa-8001? I owned an 8001 back when they first came out and yes, the transport was noisy. | |

| Test CD I use the Isotek burn in cd to burn in my equipment and the Stereophile cd to set up the system. | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? I too had a pair of DeVore speakers, in my case the Gibbon 8. I too found the midbass to be quite lean. If I were spending the money, I would get the Harbeths. I think they are a better overall speaker. DeVore speakers are not that great on rock w... | |
| Another Cronus Magnum question I bought the amp used in late August. It was 6 months old when I received it. The amp replaced a Classe 175wpc power amp and a Modulus3A tube preamp. I like the Rogue integrated much better, especially now with the updated tubes. This integrated i... | |
| Another Cronus Magnum question I thought I would revive this thread. I put a NOS Mullard CV4003 (12au7) tube in the center position for the preamp and 2 Mullard 12au7 reissue tubes for the drivers. For the splitters, I used 2 Svetlana 12ax7 tubes. The amp sounds more open now a... | |
