Looking for a subwoofer to match my GMA Europas
As always, many thanks for the best audiophile education on the web! I noticed that many of the subs being suggested do not have RCA connects allowing me to run the speakers through the sub. Some of the older subs I was looking at had this as a pr... 
Looking for a subwoofer to match my GMA Europas
Thanks to all for the feedback! I will be cautious in going too low on the bass. I don't need to rattle the walls, just add a bit more depth. I'll check out the ML and REL and let you know how I fare!Chris 
TDS "True Dimensional Sound" Black Box
I recently purchased one of these for a very low price. I found that it did boost certain aspects of the sound and, with certain CDs seemed to add detail and volume. On others, however, it seemed to add a grittiness to the sound. For example it di... 
Tube amp and speaker impedence matching
Thanks for the complement Brett44! And thanks to everyone who has responded, including Roy. I have learned a great deal and the information has truly helped me make a sound decision. Elevick, I'll let you know after I have spent some time with the... 
Looking for a monitor that likes walls
I love my Polks too. I will use them in another room for sure. I heard a set of paradigm floor standers a while back and almost bought them until my budged intervened. I am curious about the recent posts on the GMA Europas, particularly a post tha... 
Looking for a monitor that likes walls
Great advice so far. I like the idea of eliminating the port (either going port-less or plugging it) and adding a sub. I will look into this option further. Thanks. 
Jolida JD 100a - help w/Buzz when using headphones
Dear Rysa - I have just purchased the CD player and the tubes had been rolled by the previous owner. Thanks for the tip. I will put checking the tubes on my list of possible solutions. 
Jolida JD 100a - help w/Buzz when using headphones
Thanks Mtbrider. That's the material I was referring to in my prior post. Did you do any other mods that made a difference? I think Verastarr has a mod package and, if the damping can possible help the buzz, perhaps that is a better alternative to... 
Jolida JD 100a - help w/Buzz when using headphones
I sent Mike an e-mail but have not had a response yet. I have sent him e-mails in the past with good responses and information. I will likely call him when I get a chance in the near future. I certainly appreciate all the sincere concern for my is... 
Jolida JD 100a - help w/Buzz when using headphones
Ladavid-your impressions are in line with my experience. The Jolida can't really drive the Senns and the sound is confined quite a bit. What mods does your Jolida have? I saw one mod that involved chassis damping with material containing an outer ... 
Jolida JD 100a - help w/Buzz when using headphones
Thanks for the input. I guess the sound of the CD spinning comes across as a "buzz" in the headphones (perhaps buzz is not the best word to describe it). I also hear the CD spinning inside the player but, the noise is continuous whilst the disk is... 
Best integrated Tube amp as an intro to tubes
Thanks for the input listener57. I tried to do a little digging on the Aronov. It seems the Aronov website disappeared. I will continue to look for some info in the morning.

Sorry Bigpowerballs. I had some trouble with my computer and somehow this post ended up here. I had originally posted in the amp/premp section.
