| kt-120 or kt-88? Hifigeek1...I'm bringing my Jolida over RIGHT NOW. | |
| kt-120 or kt-88? So there IS a power increase? Can I check that with my Radio Shack meter? Seriously...I have wondered if I could do that...I'd like to be able to say my amp is more powerful, but with proof! | |
| kt-120 or kt-88? It's not so much a power increase when swapping to 120s as a tonal difference...it's my understanding the 120s aren't taxed as much since they CAN handle more power than 88s, but there's no miracle power boost even though it might seem like there ... | |
| Would new speakers---- Na...you don't know my girlfriend! | |
| Would new speakers---- A new girlfriend would make my current girlfriend uncomfortable, thus generating less happiness all around. | |
| Where do the tubes go? Relax and don't be stupid (get a reasonably powered amp with outputs at 8 and 4 ohms, plug it in, enjoy). Regarding reliability, there are FAR more tube guitar amps than hifi amps out there and they're often mercilessly dragged around, including c... | |

| Where do the tubes go? I bought a new factory upgraded Jolida 502P for a little over a grand, it requires almost zero maintenance (you don't HAVE to tube roll, and the bias adjustment screws are easy to get to on the top of the amp), and sounds fabulous right out of the... | |
| Where do the tubes go? Tube power amps can open the door to "even harmonic" slam and are often interesting to look at. I like a seemingly unadulterated, clean as possible SS Class A balanced preamp signal into a tube power amp as that combo seems to work for me, and giv... | |
| Tube Preamp with HT Bypass Under $1200 You could maybe buy a NEW all tube Jolida 3000b, and I think it has a direct out. | |
| ARC Vsi60 with KT120 valves - issues Although I understand that mentioning tube rolling results in another brand of amp might be meaningless, I offer the following: I've used the stock Tung Sol 6550s, Sovtek KT88s, and KT120s in my Jolida 502p. All sounded great, but I prefer the 120... | |
| Would new speakers---- Happier than what? | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum Yeah...chicks dug me...I always smelled fresh as a daisy, although it was the late 60's in Honolulu which meant much less clothing to worry about. | |
| Pro audio amp vs. residential amp I would love to see the results of a "blind listening" shoot out between similarly powered high quality pro audio amps and extreme high end amps from somebody like Boulder or Constellation...somebody do this and report back to me. | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? I rest my case. |
