| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? Lightophiles subscribe to the Absolute Luz, a publication that reviews various light generators and compare them to the quality of light relative to that from the sun. People will also write in to the magazine offering opinions and most of them wi... | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release Just got it and am on song five as of this post. Wow, this is really good. Goodbye U2, it's been a great ride, at least from 1980 to 1984. | |
| Cables for Thiel CS6 I use Krell 400cx to power my CS6s. Lez is correct about them being a NOMINAL 4 Ohm speaker. Be aware that they dip to 2.4 Ohms, albeit at the benign phase angle due to the first order crossover, but still requiring an amp that can provide the cur... | |
| Hum from new Jolida 502B-Help In another thread I explained how my small hum problem with my 302B when I moved the system upstairs was completely solved by the PS Audio Humbuster.You likely have a DC voltage (aka ground loop) in your AC line that is making the 502's power tran... | |
| Meridian 508.20 or Wadia 830 or Wadia 301???? You know, you just might consider the Jolida 100 for well under a $1000. Talk about musical sweetness. I got one for a second all tube based system and when I directly compared it to the Meridian, I have to say, it comes darn close in terms of son... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? I lived with the Thiel CS6s for about a year (Krell 400cx/KCT amp/pre)and found that there were times when I wanted to have that last bit of extension. The CS6s are rated down 3dB at 27 Hz. Almost a year ago I ordered Thiel's SS2 sub with the pass... | |
| Meridian 508.20 or Wadia 830 or Wadia 301???? I have a 508.24, wouldn't part with for anything. Both brands are very high quality. I have heard the 830 a while back. I chose the Meridian based on its ability to produce analog like warmth with great dynamics. I would not agree that the Meridia... | |
| Amp for new Meadowlark Krestel 2's ? Beernut, I had a similar "problem." Turns out it is not the amp but crappy DC in my AC line. I ordered a PS Audio Humbuster unit from Music Direct and this quieted down my Jolida 302B to near silence. What a great unit! | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Krell FPB400cx makes my Thiel CS6s very very happy, they sing softly and sweetly when asked to do so and will rock the house when gently coaxed with good material and a twist of the volume knob. | |
| Help adding Vcaps to Jolida JD100 CD player Rauliruegas makes good points here. My feeling is that why go to the trouble of semi-permanently altering the sonic character of an optimized component when by swapping user serviceable components one can "tune" the unit without permanent alterati... | |
| Help adding Vcaps to Jolida JD100 CD player Thwang99, So your assumption is that the Jolida CDP in stock form is somehow inferior and needs your intervention.Why change its sound? You haven't even convinced anyone that this is needed, instead it sounds likt all you want to do is justify get... | |
| Jolida JD 100. How does it sound? Do not mod! Just roll some tubes, RCA, Ei Elites, Mullards (if you're crazy enough to spend that kind of money) etc. | |
| Jolida JD 100. How does it sound? The Jolida is a wonderful player. I also have a Meridian 508.24 that I treasure and the Jolida I got a couple of months ago for a second system, though it doesn't have all the dynamic punch, certainly holds its own along side the 508 with tremendo... | |
| Better sound quality than the I-pod? Ipod connected to a Krell connected to a Thiel.Wow o wow o wowSorry couldn't resist. | |
| Does anyone do good protest music anymore? But hey guys, I mean U2 is a bit lame compared to their first three albums, no?CERTAINLY!!!!The one, only and very bold BAD RELIGION has been around FOR YEARS and Greg Graffin's lyrics are front and center!Pick any recording and you'll get protest... |
