Long time music lover looking for new music.
Thanks guys. I guess the stuff I listed in not to main stream now? Like I said I never listen to the radio and I've only learned about the music by word of mouth or just checking out stuff on Amazon or cross referencing using Wikipedia. I have to ... 
Long time music lover looking for new music.
Thanks a lot. I have already started checking some of them out and enjoying them. I also like some of the new stuff that has the folk feel to it. I really love the acoustic guitar. I also like Big band and female jazz also. Really a lot of everyth... 
Jolida 502a and Klipsch Forte
I no longer am using LP's since moving over seas and my last Audio Research preamp had built in phono stage. I would put another post up looking for a phono stage and state the price range you are willing to pay. Also mention if you have an MM or ... 
Jolida 502a and Klipsch Forte
I'm sorry I responded late late night and didn't read the post very well. Sebrof is correct. You need to concentrate on your source first. Since the Jolida does not have a phono stage you would need one of those and possibly a cartridge? Or you co... 
Jolida 502a and Klipsch Forte
Hi Saulgold, I got a JD502 for a really good price and in my opinion it can go from a nice amp to a really good amp with a little work. Tubes and power cord will make a nice difference but you would be shocked with some new coupling caps and few s... 
Melos MA-333 Upgrade Caps
Hi Bigkidz, The question you are asking may be a little hard to answer. The Caps will make a big difference in the sound. But if it's better or not, only you can decide. There are a lot of cap reviews and shoot-outs on the web. But ultimately your...

Replacing 12AX7 to 5751 for pre-amp
Audio guy the gain is 70 on the 5751 versus the 100% gain of the 12ax7. There are other minor differences in operation but will generally work without issue in place of a 12ax7. I have used 3 mica black plate Sylvania's and GE's and they were both... 
Has anyone tried Full Music 12ax7's?
I'm actually working and living in China now and I seen them in a store when I was in Guangzhou and I looked them up on the Internet and then tried them. I think in the U.S. Grant Fidelity is the only place I know of? I think they're actually in C... 
Has anyone tried Full Music 12ax7's?
These tubes are a bit expensive but I really feel theyare worth it. The mid-range and high are really nice. But the bass is really something special. In no way unbalanced. It is nice to have new tubes that I feel happy with. Now I'm waiting for TJ... 
Hovland HP-200P Preamp - Tube Rolling
I have not personally used your preamp but I have used many ECC81 and ECC83 tubes in various pieces. There are many nice NOS ECC83 that will work well. Personally I prefer 5751 in most of my equipment. I really the the 3 mica Sylvania black plates...

I have a pair of Signature II that I run withmy Jolida JD-502 and run bi-wire MI-2's. The sound is wonderful. I have 7' runs and it isnot lean at all. The sound is full and open.
