| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? Ditto some 5751 tubes and keep playing with the switches on the back.It is a very good phono amp. | |
| Jolida JD-9 Mod II I have the stock jd9 and upgraded all 6 op amps and have tried several different tubes. I like CBS 5751's with my system. All of this is possible with about a $150 investment and the time to replace the op amps and tube roll.Tremendous improvement... | |

| Vinyl essentials for novices well now its not like we are scrubbing a burnt pan | |
| Help for a vinyl novice My strong opinion is that if the rotational speed is not accurate, nothing else matters. This just makes sense to my logical, analytical side.The Technics tables are direct drive so the accuracy is there. A lot of folks will probably disagree with... | |

| What is Low Impendance for an interconnect? Hi Almarg, You had the right link and I think that it has been discussed in this thread.My read is that Roger is saying that his interconnects do not impart any coloration to the signal, which is his definition of a well designed interconnect.It w... | |
| Best Interconnects for Maggie 3.6s Hi all,Got the Mye stands a while back. I noticed more of an impact with my 1.7's than I did with the 3.6's.Back to the interconnects, did everyone go through trial and error or did you look for some sort of specification to guide your way? If so ... | |

| External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost? This is a good thread and I do not want to derail it but have to ask a question that I have posted before and not received an answer.Would the folks who have paid for the Modwright modification tell me what I am going to hear "better" or "more" fo... |
