| 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. | |
| 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 ... |
