| Prima Luna vs jolida You can talk to the Jolida dudes in MD whenver you want, and at length. | |
| Amp with best bass control My band in Honolulu opened for Led Zeppelin in 1969 and John Paul Jones decided to use the bass amps loaned to us by a local music store...2 Sunn 2000S rigs with the stock large 2X15 JBL cabinets (nobody I knew ever actually owned one of these spe... | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Transformer meltdown doesn't seem to be much of an issue with KT120s...at least as far as I can tell from asking around. GL KT88s have been highly regarded for a while, but 120s are cheaper and sneaking in everywhere. It is important that you have... | |
| Amp with best bass control Mbvoaird...whew...I was making a joke, and by the way my Eden bass cabs, a 12, a 15, and a 2X10, make most home audio speakers sound weak and silly...and they're paper. Also almost zero pro guitar players including myself use anything other than t... | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida KT120s seem to have a more dynamic sound, they're inexpensive, and last a long time. Also, I don't think "point to point" wiring adds anything to sound particularly...it's wiring. | |
| Amp with best bass control As a person who plays bass guitar, I resent all this control people seem to want to have over bass. Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but I think I have the right to be utterly out of control. | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Although I rarely mention my fabulous Jolida 502p (!), I have to say my "factory modded/upgraded" (100 bucks extra) version is a quiet and powerful GREAT sounding amp. I've taken it apart and its build quality is clean, and I've never read a direc... | |
| about the kt 120 tube Update: I'm now using Psvane 12AX7T IIs and they're real good. In fact, they're very good. | |
| Primaluna Prologue 2 Upgrades A quad of new factory matched KT120s should cost around $175 unless cryoed or something...I bought my set from an Ebay store a year and a half ago and they're still working and sounding great with no audible sign of wear, bias drift, explosions, o... | |
| Primaluna Prologue 2 Upgrades I recently put a pair of Psvane 12AX7 T IIs in a Jolida and they sound great...clear highs and tight bass, with an overall clean presentation without tubey artifice. There was nothing wrong with the Tubestore "Preferred" 7025s I had been using but... | |
| Soundstage vs background noise? Well designed tube amps with tubes running as they should have a very low noise floor, and spatial queues galore...also this post has one of my extremely rare uses of the word "galore." | |
| Please alleviate my fears There seems to be something wrong with the volume pot and/or whatever it's driving. You should have linear volume control or life simply is not worth living. | |
| salesperson recomends what do you think I do blast my hifi sometimes...and the entire house resonates...I like that. | |
| salesperson recomends what do you think Schubert...it was a weird score as I'd just heard a set of Preludes at a friend's house, and my then current speakers had a midrange mush issue (Vienna Bachs bad crossover component maybe)...a wonderful accident that happened to me because I'm suc... | |
| Speakers that do pianos really well One of the concert series I often work as a soundman has a gigantic Steinway that is tuned for every show...it's an amazing piano, but remember...microphones all sound different, and the recorded (or live miked) sound has a LOT to do with the mic ... |
