| Help with tube amps After exisiting as a solid state fanatic for 30 years I recently purchased a second system that for the first time is tube based. It is a Jolida 302B intergrated amp, Jolida 100 CD player, Meadowlark Kestrel 2s with Synergistic and Tara interconne... | |
| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? The Bel Canto would work just fine. I have owned CS7s and now have CS6s...the 3.6s will work fine as long as the amp can put out at least 100W into 4 Ohms. | |
| In Shower With M_Logans So exactly why doesn't ML ship with membranes already showered and dried? | |
| moving coil vs. moving magnet cart. for Rega P2/3 I used a Benz Micro Glider L2 with a Planar 3 for a couple of years before I traded up to a VPI set up. It was my first taste of what a moving coil could do that a MM cart could not. After that there was no looking kcab ;-). Go with the MC but mak... | |
| Where are they now...? Where's John Dunlavy? | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin (even though my wife likes it) | |

| I need help with selection of a pre-amp I used to have a Parasound 1200 amp and used their 1100 preamp (I think that was the model) The combination worked very well. Also, Bryston's BP25 is a great pre for the bux. You will enjoy much better sound with either of these that I'm sure you ... | |
| CD Help I fifth the Jolida. I recently purchased one for second tube based system and while I was waiting for the amp (and speakers) I put it into action where my Meridian 508.24 sits. I have to say it came damn close, especially when I substituted new EH... | |
| Krell preamps which one? The KCT CAST connected into your 300cx will sound fantastic. Definitely something to look forward to. | |
| Fisher Tube Amp cutting out Sounds like you could have an internal connection that remains closed until the unit heats up and then something expands and opens the circuit. I had this happen to a Fender tube amp years ago and it took a year to troubleshoot the problem. Time t... | |
| Vinyl Reason do it for the sound | |
| Cables for Meadowlark Audio Kestral 2 speakers.... Just brought home a new pair of Kestral 2 in dark ash. This is a second all tube system that I have put together for well under $4000 consisting of Jolida 100A CD player, Jolida 302B integrated amp (tubes rolled a bit in each component for the bet... |
