| Best Cables For Subs Jim, I concur with the statement by Elgordo on subs needing LOTS of copper. If your subs do not go too far into the midrange(if at all), and you are on a tight budget, get some really thick copper wire. It doesn't need to be expensive. Even cheap(... | |
| Speakers for YBA Integre DT I reallly like Soliloquy speakers. Also Triangle. I personally heard some YBA products with various Monitor Audio speakers, and was mightily impressed with the sound(several times). It seemed to be a very synergistic and satisfying match. | |
| Help: Re tubing Jolida JD 1000 This amp is WAAAAYYY too new for you to "need to retube it". I presume you did not leave it on 24/7. You should REALLY look into that. If nothing else, the Chinese tubes last a LONG time in a Jolida. This is the first JD1000 that I have heard of n... | |
| Jolida202a vs. Creek 4330 You should not have this hiss. As the amps are assembled in China, you must be vigilant about getting one that wasn't assembled along the lines of a Detroit car on a Monday or Friday. The tubes DEFINITELY need to be upgraded. Go to either Svetlana... | |
| Dealer Bias: Do They Really Add Value? Great post, Bmpnyc! Sadly, far too common in high end. | |
| Hey Trelja........ I cannot say the Cambridge is better than the Audio Refinement Complete. As I only heard that player for a very short time. My impression of that player was different than most people who talk about the Audio Refinement. They usually say it is sim... | |
| Dealer Bias: Do They Really Add Value? Sorry to drift off point Cwlondon. I do agree with your points on dealers. I firmly believe that the audiophile should rely on his two ears, whatever lies between them, and his heart. Anything outside of these things is irrelevant. This is not a t... | |
| Homegrown Audio Silver Lace Interconnect I have the Silver Lace, and am extremely happy. The fact that I have seen Sdcampbell submitting similar opinions makes me believe even more the qualities this cable possesses. A one meter length is about $180. That HAS to be considered a breakthro... | |
| Hey Trelja........ Quite correct Sugarbrie. In fact, they will be officially changing their name in the Philadelphia area to Tweeter this spring. They drill it into your head in these horrendously irritating radio commercials("the wise guys, with wise buys..."). Alo... | |
| Dealer Bias: Do They Really Add Value? I have to disagree with a few of Angela100's points. First, the audio hobby existed LONG before the internet. I have been involved in audio since I was a child. If anything, there is a continued and steady decline in the amount of people who want ... | |
| Hey Trelja........ Oh, one thing I failed to mention(while we are on digital). I did listen to a couple of Sony SACD players over the past year. The SCD-1 and the 9000ES. Neither one of them sold me. I do blame the store(Bryn Mawr Stereo) for at least part of it. Th... | |
| Hey Trelja........ Sean, I have to admit that my list is incomplete. As I have not auditioned a whole lot more than what I listed. I also have to admit that I am NOT as knowledgeable about digital as many of our compadres here on Audiogon. When I bought my amp, I li... | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? One thing I keep wondering about is this freezing of cables in liquid nitrogen. It is common to do an experiment for school kids with a rubber ball. First, it is dropped on the ground, and bounces higher than your head. The ball would next be imme... | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? Sam, my new CD player is a Cambridge D500 SE. I have talked a lot about it in the Digital forum. Basically, I bought it because I have been waiting for three years for this format war to be over, and in my opinion it is no more resolved today. It ... | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? I can emphatically say that burn - in of a CD player is real. I just got a new player last month. The company includes a warning sticker on the player to let the player burn - in for 36 hours, before the player will sound its best. When I first ho... |
