| Rega RP6 VTA issue I'm absolutely certain that a properly set up RP6 sounds great...but I like to tinker a little and adjust things myself, and shims seem like a weird remedy for VTA if I had the desire for a cart that needed that. I've read why the designer does wh... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? I think it's clearly a "speaker specific" thing. I have Silverline Preludes that, according to a general note in Silverline's sort of "catch all" speaker placement and use guide, should be bi-wired. When I bought these I called Silverline to see i... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Something about tubes...the even order harmonics, something. When I talked to Jolida Jerred in MD about the 502 prior to ordering one, he pointed out that the newer version with mods was a more "modern" sound inspire by home theater (!). Huh? In a... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... I have Vibrapods (or their equivalent) under everything...under my main speakers, amp, DAC, me, etc. You can find relatively inexpensive sorbothane stick-on feet if you look around. The ones under my Jolida are some heavier duty sorbothane things ... | |
| Vinyl essentials for novices The "Spin Clean" works amazingly, and is pretty cheap as far as these things go. I use one and love the results. | |
| Rega RP6 VTA issue Part of the issue was exacerbated when my local Rega dealer said I could keep my current Sumiko cart and he'd adjust the table so the lid wouldn't bump the cart when closed. Really? Somehow my desire for an RP6 is dimming quickly as in that price ... | |
| Speaker imaging Another issue is the nose...it's rarely mentioned that some sound goes up your nose while listening and there has been very little research about where that sound ends up. Trapped in the sinus cavities? Does the lower midrange battle with the nose... | |
| Speaker imaging There are reasons why things sound different without lights or glasses, etc., and they're real. Your conscious brain reacts to things automatically all the time and if you remove a stimulous like lighting or ambient noise you will hear differently... | |
| Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode So that's 6? Wait...I think I double counted... | |
| Bias for Jolida 502 P Amplifier The issue is deciding which prison doll house company to use? | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? I could build my own solid core cables, but I might have trouble cramming them into bungee cords so I let AQ do that for me. | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... My beef isn't with crossovers, and I don't "bash" the idea of multiple subs, I simply (!) say that a single sub without some form of active room correction is a less expensive and often cleaner alternative to running everything through a digital n... | |
| Bias for Jolida 502 P Amplifier Instead of a stock tube cage, I'm thinking of making a small prison fence replica someday...little guard towers with tiny barbed wire around my tubes. Impractical but cute...I might be able to score something from a prison doll house company. | |
| Bias for Jolida 502 P Amplifier When I talked to the people at Jolida about the 120s a while back (almost 2 years), they hadn't tried them, but assured me 120s wouldn't melt the amp. That, plus the good reviews, made me try them. I also liked the 6550s that came stock, and a set... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I was referring to digital bass management (I even used those exact words), like Audyssey's and others, in the part of my post you highlighted...this IS a form of active EQ. And, I know multiple subs work fine for many as I've also stated, a point... |
