| To Tube or not to Tube...... Jerred...Jerred Dunkerson, now a VP at Jolida. He was helpful in a few conversations about my amp...nice guy. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... You mean a Jolida 502p I assume, and if you get one make sure to get the FACTORY upgrade done, as it's not expensive and makes you a better person, and more like Jason Statham who bought a Jolida from Jared, who told me Jason was a nice guy. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Also, tubes will survive the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear air burst...isn't that comforting? | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables Sometimes you're left with mismatched lengths of cable for a variety of reasons...it happens, and I've found that if it's good cable you can't hear any level differences between speakers. You simply can't. I have used differing cable lengths in th... | |
| The future of preamps I hope my preamp doesn't get wind of this conversation...nobody needs an angry component. | |
| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? True...you actually never know that was your last amp until it's too late. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Are SS amps more reliable? Over decades I've had many tube guitar amps with almost zero failures during rough service, and plenty of SS hifi, PA, bass, and even SS guitar amps that have had serious issues, so I doubt SS amps are actually "more" re... | |
| Subwoofer for Beginner I bought a REL Q150e on Ebay for 200 bucks about 3 years ago. It's an older model, but perfect except for missing the easily repaired/replaced grill (still had the frame). I consider it the among most fortuitous gear scores I've ever made since it... | |
| Is new Sony TA-A1ES ultimate made affordable ? Please stop whatever you're doing and go to The Onion and look up "Sony releases new..." Trust me. | |
| Would new speakers---- I'm too lazy to scroll up but I think it had something to do with being happy with a better sounding girlfriend. Was it Groucho who said, "women should be obscene and not heard?" I don't subscribe to that way of thinking, but I like the quote anyway. | |
| Tube rolling 12AX7As The Giant Killing Psvane 12AX7T-II tubes are best bought from a retailer (Canada?) as direct China dealers can be annoying. A tip. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... I think if you can get enough sound from a power amp with 4 output tubes, you've made yourself a somewhat less heat producing choice, and buying tubes is cheaper...I've had my eye on those Cary 120S amps but hesitate to buy one when I think about ... | |
| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? I find that living like a maniac at full speed is the way to go. And I do mean go. | |
| Tube rolling 12AX7As I'm liking the Psvane 12AX7T-IIs...a relative bargain tube that really sounds great. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... I use a new model Jolida 502p with factory upgrades that is one of the biggest "bangs for the buck" in tubedom, at about half the cost of any comparable high quality power amp. The XLR balanced inputs were important to me also as I have a balanced... |
