| Tube upgrades for Jolida 502B? According to the 502P manual (or I would never have known) you're supposed to turn the bias screw all the way down when changing power tubes...I wondered what would happen if I didn't, but thanks to Jeninite24 I now know! I also bias the 120s to t... | |
| Tube upgrades for Jolida 502B? It has to do with the current supplied from the transformer for the tube "heater" or "filament" elements in the 120s...100mA to 300mA more than KT88s. Walter is simply wrong about this, and based on all the discussion about it in this forum, I'm s... | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping Follow up: The Mullard 12at7s sound great. And the frightening glow explosion flash when the amp powers up is a beautiful thing. | |

| Switching preamps in and out I have only practical experience and my comment applies only to amps with gain knobs (like the OP's amp) where no...and I mean zero...signal gets anywhere in the amp when the gain is all the way down (rare in home audio, common in pro audio), ther... | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping HA...yeah...the Sovteks were an impulse purchase from an electronics/hobby shop so I was clueless about them...really bought because they were so inexpensive (about $100 for all four), but they look cool when glowing. I had to return the JAN Phill... | |
| Switching preamps in and out Utter nonesense. Amazing...If a power amp has level controls you can turn it down and switch input cables all day, same goes with the preamp. | |
| Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone SACD After hearing something on Pandora I recently found a CD called "Enrico Pieranunzi, Marc Johnson, and Joey Baron Play Morricone"...great stuff....nice sounding CD. | |
| Optimizing the Prima Luna Premium Integrated amp I'm still waiting for the Gold Pin Deluxe version of the KT120...the current version I own is just too inexpensive for its own good. | |
