| JoLida 502b suitable for computer stereo system? 1) The Jolida can drive the Totem Arro's well. In fact, its little sister, the 302b is my current favorite amp for driving the Arro's.2) The Jolida 502b is an intergrated amp (amp + preamp in same chassis), and does NOT include a DAC. You will nee... | |
| Source for low cost redbook CDs I'll put in a third recommendation for Amazon.com. Their used CD's can be great bargains (especially for classical music).Michael | |
| Question for Paradigm Studio 100 owners ... I believe your problem is most likely the preamp. As I recall, the CJ PV10A is a very warm preamp with a rather flabby bass. (It can sound great, though, with the right gear.) I also had a warm tube preamp with suboptimal bass response and replace... | |
| A good inexpensive integrated for Totem Sttaf's The Jolida 302b would be perfect (I own one with Arro's -- perfect match). I think the limiting factor for your room will be the speakers, not the amp.Sincerely,Michael | |
| tube preamp question The Cary SLP-88 will fit the bill.Michael | |
| VON SCHWEIKERT VR-1 OR PARADIGM STUDIO 20 V3 I've heard both and like both speakers, but they have very different sounds. The VR-1 is efficient, lean, and detailed. The Paradigm has a more full, yet balanced sound. So for the Rotel equipment, I would lean more toward the Paradigms. If you ha... | |
| List speakers thast can be put cloeto rear wall Totem Arro. They fit just about anywhere.Michael | |
| Amp for Totem Forest The best amp I've heard with the Forest is Totem's own integrated amp. It's expensive (I want to say around $5000) and not the prettiest thing in the world, but damn does it ever sound good!Michael | |
| well-recorded country music recommedation This may fall more in the "Newgrass" category than country, but I will add one more to the list:Nickel Creek - Nickel CreekMichael | |
| order of improving sound quality in system? IMHO, For the most significant to least significant difference, my vote is for:the room, speakers, preamp, source, amp (assuming the amp mates reasonably well with the speakers, so no SET's with Apogee's), cables.In chronological order (which to c... | |
| Tips for tagging classical rips? This is tough, because obviously classical music doesn't always lend itself to the usual tagging mechanisms (especially on compilatin discs). What I've been doing is to put the composer and orchestra both in the artist section.For instance,Brahms ... | |
| Cal Labs Gamma question As I recall, the Gamma was Cal Audio's $99 entry-level DAC that was regarded as a good value for that price point. I have never heard it, but I have heard (and own) other CAL DAC's. I doubt you could get much for the Gamma. The Sigma and Alpha's a... | |
| upgrade advice for budget-minded beginner I second the Music Hall CD25. It's an excellent CD player for the money.I also agree with going for an integrated amp. I would recommend one of the Jolida's, especially the Jolida 302b (tube integrated, my favorite of Jolida's line). You would hav... | |
| Looking for an incredibly dynamic preamplifier I will agree that the preamp shares some responsibility for bass response and dynamics, provided that the amp/speaker combination is also up to the task.Of the several preamps I've owned, the Musical Fidelity A3cr comes closest to what you ask (al... | |
| need info on phono pre......... CHEAP The Parasound zPhono is very good for the money. I compared it to the (more expensive) Creek and Project offerings, and preferred the zPhono.Michael |
