| New Version Jolida JD502P issues. The lawsuit between Jolida MD and Jolida China soldiers on but since I can TALK to the Jolida MD dudes (Michael Allen, et al), they get my support. They're designing the stuff. Also, this amp is the MD modded (a great deal) version as well as the ... | |
| Is it safe Bombaywalla is correct in stating that "the guys here are full of $$$", especially Elizabeth who leaves her gear on all the time, and myself being fabulously wealthy. True, if you're only using one source at a time you're OK...sadly you won't be a... | |
| Is it safe Also it says to NOT DO THAT in the 502P owner's manual on page 8, section 1. Distortion will occur. Really...that's what it says. | |
| New Version Jolida JD502P issues. One example is that it sounds great in comparison to some Conrad Johnson monoblocks another musician I know owns, and those are exactly 156 times the price of this thing. Not that it's "better" than anything in particular (although I suppose it is... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? First time I heard the Beatle's "I'm Looking Through You" I was stunned by how amazing it was...on a 4" (maybe) single crappy dashboard ('61 Dodge Lancer) car speaker. I've listened to Yamaha NS10s in major recording studios and still think being ... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I think relatively "frequency flat" speakers are the way to go, and among most good speakers one should appreciate accurate treble as an important part of the musical experience (tonal "cues"), and only bothersome if your system has something wron... | |
| Brad Mehldau So to sum up: Some of us like Mehldau a lot, some less so, and some not at all. | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade Oh...and I bet plugging it into a conditioner (which I do) makes little difference as it is actually a conditioner itself, and doesn't use much juice. | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade I talked to Audio Advisor a while back (couple of months ago maybe) and asked that exact question...they told me that the P100 would work with the "plus" once they designed a cable to fit it. I suggest calling Audio Advisor for an update on that. | |
| Tube Integrateds...why not a preout for subs..... A point of the REL "high level" input (from the amp's speaker posts) is to use the tone of the amp itself (a good, although maybe not all that important idea). So I second the REL suggestions (I use one with a Jolida amp...works brilliantly). Also... | |
| speaker selection help ... on a budget Haven't personally heard these but maybe check out the Pioneer SP-BS41-LR...got a great review in Stereophile (whatEVER) and list for $150. New and cheap...win win (unless they suck). | |
| Bass tones and low cost tubes for a Jolida 502B I recently found out (from the "horses mouth" as it were) that you can use KT120s in the Jolida 502p...not sure what will happen (haven't tried it yet, as my 502P is new and not past the 12,416 hours and 8 minutes break-in period) but hey...there ... | |
| Straight XLR vs XLR to RCA adapter HEY...I was being serious...and yes, Mogamis usually are fine as I've used their mic cables for years. My turntable cable is weird reddish Japanese neglex and seems fine. It was odd...the Mogamis could have been made on a Wednesday, or infected wi... | |
| Looking for brighter tubes Excellent point. | |
| Straight XLR vs XLR to RCA adapter Make a cable consisting of ONLY dozens of RCA/XLR adapters stuck together...may sound like crap, but it's interesting and allows all options...custom instantly adjustable length, satisfies your Leggo compulsions, helps train you in child anti chok... |
