| Jolida 02 PAny Info On The Jolida 502 P Power Amp I agree that there are a dearth of professional reviews of this amp, so you are forced to dip into the muddy waters of gear forums. I offer this: I chose a new 502p in 2012 because the factory upgrades were cheap (not sure if it needed that, but i... | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub That's a pretty deluxe cell for Sing Sing. | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub A good sub can charge the air in a room and make your mains seem to be working better even when listening to mandolins. A bass guitar has a low E of about 41hz and an experienced listener with good speakers can easily tell if it's an upright or a ... | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub To see if I'm a Luddite or simply an Actual Expert (heh heh), I did a cursory scan of audio reviewers in my pile of gear rags in my recycle que, some reputable, some arguable, to see how many are regularly using any sort of the aforementioned "Dig... | |
| New KT150 tubes? True. True. 150s are priced to the current market, and my hoping they'd be cheaper eventually is simply wishful thinking...today if needed I'd just get another set of matched 120s as they seem to be a relative bargain and sound great. | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub I've heard room correction systems and I think they are for people who lack the ability to set up hifi systems or prefer digitized and flattened bass response...that's hardly natural. I prefer to not use a digital nanny in my room but clearly you ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? If the 120s or any tube for that matter start to SOUND bad, become hard to keep biased, or explode and destroy your hamster sleeping in his ball next to the hifi (this is sad as you should never leave the hamster in the ball)...then certainly they... | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub "Room mode correction doesn't compress bass except in those instances that it is unnaturally elevated due to the physical dimensions of the room"...meaning it doesn't compress until it does? Hmmm...it's "smoothing" by compressing and limiting...th... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Rumble with bass reflex speakers and wide frequency range amps is pretty common, and I fixed it with a phono preamp that has a rumble filter (Cambridge 640p with a Pangea power supply). Works on pesky amp an speaker taxing sub 20hz crap that I do ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? It seems ridiculous that somebody would claim 1900 hours is "near the end of their useful life" for KT120s unless that person was trying to sell you something...that would make perfect sense. I'm shooting for 5000 hours or more for my 120s, which ... | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub I get great and plentiful bass from my trusty old REL 10" sub that goes down to 25 hz or so in my medium largish room, proving that indeed you CAN get great bass from a 10 (I use 10's in my pro bass playing rig also). Not sure if all 10s work this... | |
| Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated vs. Rogue's Sphinx I saw a photo of the innards of the Rogue Sphinx, and it seems to have about 17 parts...personally, I value the part count in my gear...I want these things crammed with little caps and resisters and diodes so I feel I'm getting my money's worth. | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum What happened to putting all your LPs on the floor, covering them with carpet cleaner, and then simply get out the vacuum and go at it? This worked for laundry issues in college... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Unfortunately, due to the shape of the KT150 I can only assume that emergency rooms will eventually be dealing with those who've decided to cram them up their...uh...nevermind...innapropriate...sorry... | |
| Cable recommendations for cary slp-98p & cary 120s I've been lucky to find used but well kept cables to move signal around my in my rig. Highly recommended as many audiophilliacs are infected with the upgrade bug and compulsively change out very good stuff for a song...I bought a $400 solid silver... |
