| To Tube or not to Tube...... Ebuzz...remember, you can get 2 Jolida JD502Ps and run them in mono at around 120 watts per side. You can start with one and add another one when your tax refund comes in...nothing like 2 power amps with 16 tubes to heat up the room and confound y... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... I use and have used over many years a lot of tube guitar amps and various hybrid or all SS amps, and the tone when ovedriven isn't necessarily the way to see what's what with a particular amp. I find any amp will develop a greasy overdrive when pu... | |
| Price Increases It's all arbitrary really, and since high end speakers are often completely differrent styles and proprietary designs they make a hard case for actual "apples to apples" comparison. If I like a speaker, I wait until it's severly discounted of avai... | |
| Advice on selecting a tube amp I think it's the obsessive string changing. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Note: I did get those Mullard CV4024s to replace the EC 12AT7s. The 1000p shound give you years of finger burning tube rolling and tons of delightful tube glow. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Analogy police alert! No, guitar amps are NOT different, except they're generally mono (Swart does make a stereo one, and there may be others) and there are WAY more of them, and if I think the comparison/analogy makes sense it's simply because it... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... It's critical that I approve af everything that goes on, as otherwise a critical mistake could be made. Also, I hear something about the lack of "speed, dynamics, bass control, punch" with tube amps from time to time and I simply don't get it. Unl... | |
| Advice on selecting a tube amp Note that some amps will recreate Gabby Pahinui well but seem somewhat reticent when playing Beamer Brothers. | |
| Poor man's Rockport Atrias? Crowdfunding...not this crowd...but still...plead your case in a blog someplace and the money will roll, trickle, or perhaps not at all, flood in. | |
| Subwoofer for "seamless" integration with Zu Druid A good sub will NOT compromise the coherency of main speakers if used properly, especially if you blend it in where the main speaker starts losing its ability to make bass, and you keep the sub at a reasonable level. Low frequencies are more than ... | |
| 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. |
