| Looking to start over. How do you think this sound How much do you want to spend on a digital source? New or used? What kind of music do you usually listen to? These are some of the relevant questions. Good Luck! | |
| Jolida JD-100A vs. Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 I agree with you Plinko: buy which ever one sounds better! It's hard to audition some of these units and I bought the Tjoeb unheard. Theoretically, the tubes have better harmonics (even vs odd?). But, its your ears that make the difference. Have fun! | |
| Why do I need a phono-pre??? most built-in phono pre-amps are cheap. You will get better sound out of a dedicated phono pre-amp provided: your turntable is better, you have an open input on your receiver or pre-amp. Prices start at $100 and go up. Good luck! | |
| Headphone amps I have used the Antique Sound lab DT/OTL headphone for the past year and love it. They have several options for headphones and pre-amps with headphones. Another cheaper option is the Antique Sound Lab speaker out transformer. Their website is www.... | |
| Jolida JD-100A vs. Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 I see a similar post about these players. Again, I love my Tjoeb 4000 with the upsampler. The sound is rich and detailed and without any softening or other "tube" effects. the harmonics are rich and pleasing. Good luck! | |
| Jolida JD100 vs MF A3.2 vs Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 I love my new Tjoeb 4000. A great buy for $700. You can accessorize to your hearts content. I don't think I'll ever buy another CDP unless its another Tjoeb 4000 for my other system! I can't speak to the other units. Good luck! | |
| SS integrated amp w/ A&B speaks & remote Ruebent, you are quite right. I wasn't paying attention. Sorry! | |
| Budget speaker selection help I have the Atoms, which I am using for surrounds. Iin spite of very positive press, i think they are a little thin in the midrange and the bottom end is a little "tubby". They are okay for my home theater surrounds, but not for listening to music.... | |
| SS integrated amp w/ A&B speaks & remote I agree with the Creek 5350 (I have the SE model). Of course it would be better to audition it with your speakers. Are the B&Ws bright? Do they need much power? I am running my 5350SE with Von Schweikert VR-1s which have a fabric 1" tweeter so... | |
| Sunfire, Paradigm or Velodyne The REL Q series are small amps with enough output for that sized room. I am using the Q108E for music in a room that is 13' x 10' with 17 foot ceilings and it has more than enough output for me. $750 new. | |
| 2nd system dedicated cdp: $500 Build quality a + Classe CD .3 is indeed built like a tank. Weighs about 15-20 lbs, has balanced and RCA unbalanced outputs, a wonderful DAC and a smooth yet detailed sound. You should listen to it first since it isn't for everybody. I like mine and have listened t... | |
| 2nd system dedicated cdp: $500 Build quality a + An advantage of the New Tube 4000 is the ability to upgrade, including to an upsampler. | |
| Review: Music Hall mmf - phono pack Preamplifier Thanks for the review. I also bought this one on a lark after I got back into vinyl with a MMF-7. It really lets the turntable speak without any coloration that I can hear. I'm sure there are better ones and if I start to buy more LPs again, I wou... | |
| Best MultiChannel for Movies and Music under $1500 I have used both ADCOM and Outlaw multichannel amps in that price range and think both are okay. The ADCOM was less reliable than the outlaw. I currently am running 5 M200 amps for my HT system. Either one is okay and especially for movies. It wil... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music I just installed (and am still tuning) a REL Q108. It made my Von Schweikert VR-1s even more perfect. I set up a small listening room which is 13' wide the back to the speakers, 10' deep (my chair backs up to the wall), and 13' tall. The REL sits ... |
