| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? Nonoise, I believe Jolida represents an incredibly sound purchase. Unlike most Chinese gear, you have support, and won't get crushed if the day comes to move it. As things are, I have a delightful Chinese integrated for sale here on Audiogon at ju... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I remain surprised the travails of Jolida, which Forbes illustrated back in 2005 http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2005/0905/088.html never became the sort of watershed article on this subject.Michael Allen literally went to the ends of the earth to ke... | |
| the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ? Audiozen, I hope you will respect my general distaste for conducting business in the discussion forums. In that vein, please feel free to let me know if you desire to contact me offline, and I'd be more than willing to answer whatever questions/co... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Pbnaudio, your place as manufacturer puts you in the unique position of seeing and knowing things others don't.I'm not here to say that the AQ cables you mentioned at heavy discount from HK are authentic, but nor would I believe they're counterfei... | |
| the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ? Audiozen, "Besides, the Trelja website Trelja.net has no phone number listed and has no online order form and no product listings. Its just a blank white page with no descriptions whatsoever. Not very professional for a "premier vendor"."I'm sorry... | |
| the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ? Cary, Jadis, and Quicksilver usually exhibit these traits.Overall, I'd recommend the (normally) 6L6 and (sometimes) KT88 as well as the aforementioned 300B. | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Mapman, "Was it mostly way above average? No doubt."I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree with your opinion of the show any more starkly. I felt it was mostly way below average.Again, I'd encourage you to visit the show in NYC next spring. Not that t... | |
| Tube Audio Design TA-60 schematic Marakanetz, "Not only the same, but vast majority of amateur DIY tube amps have the same circuit diagram."Absolutely correct. So do the vast majority of commercial tube amplifiers, as it's the dominant topology, inherent in all but a small number ... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help So glad to hear your impressions, Mattzack2.Also, many thanks to you and The Doctor for making this one of the better threads I've been involved with in quite some time. Thank you! | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Agreed, thank you for clarifying, Riflemanguido. | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help So nice to hear things are working out, Mattzack2!If current bias sits at 120mV, I'd say goose it up to 150mV once the tubes are fully broken-in. Again, 150mV still represents quite a conservative setting. Can't really put a hard and fast figure o... | |
| When to repair or replace speakers? Rodman99999, "IF your drivers are the problem."Rebuilding drivers shows less than 1% of Bill's abilities, though obviously represents the lion's share of his business. He'll make most any repair a loudspeaker requires.For a bit of background, he d... | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Mapman, "a DIY recipe that almost anyone could follow for $800 worth of speakers with the ability to claim giant killer status."I think that's about as true a statement one could make in audio. $800 worth of parts should allow one to put together ... | |
| When to repair or replace speakers? I would contact Millersound http://www.millersound.net/about.htm, who is THE artist in this realm. Please don't hold me to this, but figure on the cost coming in under $200, perhaps much below. | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Mapman, I didn't even give the tonearm a look. But, I would say what you saw, is what you get.I spoke to Matthew and Harry Weisfeld up in NYC in April. This TT is Matthew's first release in the position he's taken on, and in his words, the level o... |
