| Solid state or tube what to do?? My recommendation is to throw a few tubes in the mix somewhere. The Cayin at 30 watts should be fine here, unless your head banging to metal or like it loud. I can also highly recommend the Manley Stingray if your budget allows ( <1500. used) t... | |
| "Fixed" bias versus "auto-biasing" Bias is the voltage applied to the tubes grid. Manufactures design the circuit for the tube to have certian voltage applied that results in optimum life, sound, and safe operation of the amp.Basically the difference is that with fixed bias, you ad... | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? Of course we all have different experiences about the gear. Synergy is more important than any one single piece of gear no matter how good it is.I posted above that it was better than my Wadia 23/ 24/192 Electrocompaniet combo in my system at that... | |
| Ei Gold Elite vs Im using the Ei ECC-83 (12AX7) Gray Plates (non Elite, non- gold pins) in my Jolida JD-100. I agree with Newbee's assesment of these as being a tad warmer sounding. The Elite gold pins, I found a bit too bright, and less textured sounding.Some oth... | |
| Which headphones are comfortable? This headphone junkie has been all over the place with so many models..I keep coming back to the Sennheisers. I have the 650's again, but the whole damn line is hard to beat for comfort, sound and everything else! What an exceptional phone and com... | |
| Old Janszen E-stats sound very good Checked it out! Interesting indeed. The 130 tweeter array is what dad has. Im sure the fact that they beam quite noticably all the way into the midrange, just kills the soundstage and imaging of these..but do they ever provide the best tonal quali... | |
| anyone have setup tips on an old Koetsu Black? The older Koetsu Black is a rather medium-low compliance cart. Not sure how it would mate with the Moerch Unipivot arm. My worry is that this arm may need a higher complicance cart to work its best..Just speculation and FWIW, you may be good with ... | |
| A Sad Day... And if you ever want to talk Leica...just give a shout!>>ken | |
| A Sad Day... Temporary..only temporary im sure. I sold my Aries not long ago.. and within a month had a new Aries 2 in the system.So..what is the plan? Are you replacing it down the road? Perhaps that nice TNT with HRX bearing/platter or HRX itself?Best of eve... | |
| Should this forum have a warning label? Well..Its obvious this post got by the moderators eh!,,Although its definately an issue, I think the thread issues could be concidered similar to the buying/selling of gear. One does take thier chances with such transactions( Buyer beware) and as ... | |
| A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids Well done! Thank you for taking the time to post this. I am grateful.--Ken | |
| new vpi models ?? I had also talked with Harry a few months back. He was indeed working on a new Motor/Flywheel unit. I understand he will also have one avail for the Aries 2. Have not heard much of late however, or if any new tables are coming soon. | |
| Anyone compared Whest Audio with Manley Steelhead? I had the Whest.20 with Nottingham Spacedeck/Ace arm and ZYX Airy3 SB in my home and played it next to my ARC PH3 SE with VPI Aries 2/JMW 10 and ZYX Fuji S combo. It was very good indeed, but not enough to make me sell my SE. Each had its strength... | |
| Please compare the following headphones Craig-I found a pair of Sony MDR-SA 3000's on ebay. The list is $350, but can be had new for about 175.00 on ebay at times. This is a really good sounding phone to my ears. I like them more than the AKG 501's I had and the Grado 325's. I still lik... | |
| Calculation of effective mass of JMW10 tonearm? Jon-I seem to remember asking that same question to Mike at VPI several years back. Now, I cant remember what the number was off hand. Unfortunately, the JMW 10 manual doesn't specify as you are likely aware. As Jmcgrogan2 suggests..place a call o... |
