| Jolida JD-100A cd player--Impressions? I had one for awhile, it was a good player with a warm analog balance. I eventually gravitated to other players that had a bit more dynamic oomph, like the Cambridge 840C. | |
| Turntable with stable speed. The real problem as I see it is that pressings often have off-center holes and this is the source of uneven pitch. Modern tables excel at constant platter rotation. | |
| Best Integrated, period. This is THE BEST thread when I need to put a smile on my face. Hilarious! | |
| Shielded Phono Cable Suggestions? VPI cable works wonders and is VERY quiet. | |
| bass more punch If you play just the 2.3's alone as the mains, do you get the bass you're looking for? I wonder if there is any chance you are getting some bass phase cancellation with the mcs1 firing 180 degrees out of phase relative to the 2.3s in your set up. ... | |
| Audioengine A5+ Yes the A5+ is a well executed design and the bass content for these is striking for their size. The amp is also quite remarkable, it seems the designers found the sweet spot with these. I have filled my living room a couple of time with a simple ... | |
| Tube amp bias I have tried this and my experience is that you don't really gain anything beyond increased noise and shortening the life of the tubes. Audio amps are not guitar amps, where such an increase in the bias can provide nice distortion. My sense is tha... | |

| Which USB Cable do you like using Audioquest Forest 5 meter | |
| Audiogon/HD Tracks $5 offer Using Fidelia, I converted a couple of FLAC tracks to WAV and I think it does sound a bit more open with a wider stage. | |
| Review: Liberty Audio B2B-1 Preamplifier Depends, The B2B works best in my solid state system, while the Chinook is much preferred in the Manley tube system. Haven't heard the Fosgate; perhaps someone else here? | |
| What reviews do you trust if any? There will always be the 'one man's poison is another man's candy' element to subjective evaluation. The key is to hone in on the formal aspects of any review and decide if such features and benefits resonate with what you want to know about a giv... | |
| Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China What would a retailer necessarily know about manufacturing? Volume alone can do wonders for managing the cost of goods. Perhaps the retailer doesn't realize how successful Harry and Seth have been with this design. | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? EH6CA7s are the way to go with Manley Snappers! |
