| Jolida Hybrid humming noise through speakers? I wish I could help more. My 1501 had no hum at all. My recollection is that it has tubes for the pre-amp and SS for the main amps. It is possibly the tubes. I would try: plugging straight into a wall outlet, into the wall with a cheater plug, try... | |
| NAD C315 BEE vs. Trends TA-10? I was contemplating this issue two weeks ago and decided on the NAD C325BEE. I bought it online for $299. It will be replaced by a new model soon. It costs about $120 more than the Trend, has multiple inputs, more power, is more versatile if you w... | |
| ? Modded Oppo 983 ? It shows again just how critical the DAC is. I hope the next few years advance that technology. I haven't read about Benchmark DAC modifications like there are on the others. I am very pleased with my PS Audio Digital Link III, but still curious a... | |
| NAD Amp Question I have used both bananas and spades and find the spades more secure if there is any chance of movement of the cables or components. | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out Does that explain the desirability of buying really huge horns? Are we compensating for something here?? Sorry, I couldn't resist. | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out StereoLady, nice response. I know this is a difficult time to enter the audio business, but I really wish you the best success. It is hard for me to explain my passion for music when all my wife sees are cables and large speakers and a blatant dis... | |
| Dynaudio or B&W Synergy is everything. I have had one pair of Dynaudios, the 70 series. Admittedly not their top of the line, but I believe they are consistent with their sound and philosophy. Watts is not the issue. The answer to your question lies in what you l... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Does anyone want mine? | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center I agree with Kal. I tried two VR-1 bookshelf speakers as center speakers and couldn't get it to sound right. I bought a VSA center speaker and suddenly it disappeared. I could always tell the center bookshelf speakers were there. | |
| Speaker cable length There have been many posts regarding speaker vs IC lengths. Many opinions and not much science. The one fact is that the time difference between 27 feet and 18 feet of speaker cable wil roughly translate into a few millionths of a second. Your ear... | |

| Preamp with theater passthrough. Option? Modwright makes wonderful sounding amps, are reasonably priced, have remote control and HT pass-through, and Dan Wright is always accessible by email and forum for questions. I highly recommend his products. | |
| Need recommendation for new CD/SACD player Thanks, jlc76, for this thread. If I may ask a tangential question? Is there any difference between any of the Oppos for RBCD playback if used only for a transport, in this case digital out to the PSA DLIII? Thanks! | |
| DAC improvement I have used various mid-priced CDPs including Classe, Jolida, Ah!, others. I am now feeding the PS Audio Digital Link III from the Jolida. I tried the Oppo 980 as a transport and it was missing something. The PSA DLIII is warm, detailed and very n... | |
| ? Modded Oppo 983 ? I added a PS Audio DAC to my Oppo 980 and it makes great music. It was very good before, now even better. I advise you to get a 980 or 983, depending on your display connections, and then later get a DAC for even better 2 channel. The PSA unit, li... |
