| jolida 502b manual bias adjustment did not mean to imply your method was inferior, etc... i was speaking to OP. just wanted to point out that the connections to spikes do not have to be rock solid to get job done. if i had longer tools it probably would be easier as a matter of fac... | |
| jolida 502b manual bias adjustment i use shorter probes and a short screwdriver and have never had a problem. i have big hands as well. i think you may be overly concerned with forcing probes into a real tight and locked position. the probe slots are not top of line but then again ... | |
| Reliable tube integrated for $1000 jolida line is lotsa bang for buck. agon dealer has mod specials. underwood hifi i think...talk to wally. | |
| Buy a sub or ditch my new speakers altogether? Bjesien may be onto something... it can be easy to fall into the mindset of upgrading within a single brand, we are all creatures of habit and comfort. i second his advice to audition other lines. granted, i am not a big fan of b@w but there are l... | |
| Buy a sub or ditch my new speakers altogether? if the lows are muddy or boomy now... a sub will not eliminate that noise. the sub in your case should really be for extreme lows, not to handle entire bass response. also, your amp may not work any more efficiently when sub is added unless you ha... | |
| Can someone help me choose speakers 'our experience' might not mean squat to your ears. listen to as many as you can using your cd's on a similar amp. audiophiles have egos too and tend to push personal faves.. i am guilty of this too... But speakers are highly personal taste items.... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? to op, what do you mean dramatically? take your spkrs to a hi end dealer and do some a/b comps. you will have the definitive answer to the only judge that matters! every hi end dealer i've visted has welcomed customers to make comps with there vin... | |
| What made you select "audio" as your hobby same 'thing' that made me sneeze as i type this. | |
| Tube amp location the obvious: old school meets new. entertainment centers of today are not designed for tubes generally. if you really want tubes that badly then take the plunge and work with the reality of using heavy heat producing amps, show those puppies off! ... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear to original poster.... never and always and sometimes but not forever. | |
| A question I suspect reveals a lot of ignorance... yioryos, your exclamation point made me wonder if you find some lack of credibility to beavis' assertion that he listens at @85db. i do not know why beavis mentioned this but many of us do own meters for kicks and also to conduct objective tests o... | |
| Why does this old tube gear sound so good? obviously you have answered your question. welcome to tubes. old or 'new'... just more 'organic' musical reproduction. ss is great but, IMO, does not really sound as 'live' as tubes. | |
| Outdoor audiophile gear? i'd second the don't overspend idea. hi end outdoor spkrs for 'outdoor' use are probably a waste of $$ for what the listeners are after. polk, jbl, nht etc will be fine. if you really want to impress your buddies find a big bassy subwoofer and put... | |
| How to audition used speakers??? $250 ?... get a pair of used NHT monitors. 40wpc will be adequate for small room. in small room you will get bass extension anyay so don't fret low end specs too much. nht is abundant and fininished in lacquer gloss look great. sound is crisp and ... | |
| Looking for a first Tube Amp for under $1000 killwhat, never heard the onix spkrs but fwiw, just about anything will beat the bose and spkrs are the most 'personal' foundation in any system so i'd definitely recommend auditioning quite a few before getting a 'deal' on a combo. of all your co... |
