| Digital Emperor has no clothes Tonyangel...your system IS high end, I bet it sounds great, and you clearly dig it...I have the same sort of stuff and have had a similar reaction to HDTracks...hit or miss just like everything else in art and music. I checked out some Magico Q7s ... | |
| Digital Emperor has no clothes Are we having fun yet? | |
| Digital Emperor has no clothes I was referred to this article by a successful tube amp designer...I have no opinions...except maybe these: A basic reality of audio is that better built gear sounds better, and better recordings sound better on that gear. Astonishing. I like the ... | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping Don't be sorry. I appreciate the feedback and respect your technical tweak choices, although you assume I have the ability to install, match, and adjust this stuff when I rarely venture past soldering something that looks unsoldered. That said, I'... | |
| Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF Totem Forests maybe. | |

| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping I think that's a done deal as all the important (seemingly) resisters in the signal path were replaced when Jolida MD did an "upgrade" mod before shipping the amp to me. The tube "rolling" is simply for my own amusement as every review I've seen o... | |
| Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s? Used RELs are a often a steal, and it mystifies me why anyone wouldn't be able to dial them in to fit with most speakers. Level (the most important knob IMO), frequency point, phase, etc., should allow for just about anybody's taste for bass needs... | |
| Hum from both speakers...This is New Please read. Ground "floating" often fixes this sort of thing...I use my REL sub "floated" (it has a switch for this)...works fine and the whole system is hum free. I also use a PS Audio Humbuster to keep DC crap out of the main amp (currently a Jolida 502P). | |
| Looking for a great value integrated Jolida keeps getting better at this stuff so maybe try one of their newer integrated amps, hybrid or all tube...I have one of their new tube power amps and it's a beautiful kick ass little bargain. | |
| Which LPs are on your permanent rotation? Some faves: Bill Evans "Waltz for Debbie", Steely Dan "Gaucho", Little Feat "Last Record Album", John Hiatt "Slow Turning". | |
| New Version Jolida JD502P issues. Swine thread invader! I had to look this (JD5T) up...yeah...Jolida preamps (and most of their other stuff, except the $9,000 Envoy thing) are too inexpensive to be truly cool, so you're gonna have to enjoy your new toy without the warm satisfactio... | |
| Bill Frisell/John Lennon I'm a guitar player (Frisell's age) and jazz fan and I discovered his stuff late, although I knew he was around. I've since seen him in concert a few times, and have been astonished at his musical choices, chops, and restraint. He requires active ... | |
| Which DAC is better? The new Cambridge Audio Dacmagic "Plus"...the USB works swimmingly...a friend has one, I heard it, it's sweet...my original Dacmagic has a sucky USB system that I don't have a use for so that's fine. | |
| Is it safe Al's post is nothing if not succinct, detailed, and absolutely reasonable...you know...now that I think about it, maybe my sister is bipolar. |
