Aaaugh Please recommend a DVD player
I just sent my Pioneer in for a mod and will get it back in a week or so. Will let you know my thoughts versus the stock unit if you let me know. You should be able to get a DV 45 for about $275 used.R. 
Aurum Beta S, Wood version?
I had a brand new Beta S wood just a few months ago. The wood top is suppose to give it a warmer sound compared to the metal housing of the original version. Of the MM cartridges I have heard, it was clearly the best overall. But I also found that... 
Shelter 201
Have not heard it, but do want to make sure you know that it is a MM with 4.0 mV output. The web page I looked at with the specs had it listed wrong. Said it was a MC at .4 output. NO!! It is also not made by Shelter, but farmed out and just has t... 
What is wrong with my Jolida 1501RC?
Do not know the answer to your question, but can tell you that Jolida takes good care of their customers so just give them a call.R. 
phono cable suggestions..
I swear by the MAS, and I have tried many others. They are available here on AGon. Search for MAS. Reasonable price too!R. 
Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers
Can you please expand on what this receiver does that makes it a great value or sounding unit?? I never thought Panasonic was even considered mid-hi-fi??? I know some of this stuff is starting to sound ok particular when considering how little it ... 
Differences in Jolida JD-100's?
Mike at Jolida told me that there are no differences. Why the different model #'s, no one seems to know.Did you get the Parts Connection mod? It is worth it. The general conscensious among avid promoters of this CD player agree that the 5751 tubes... 
Linn majik good or not?
Hi, here is my three cents.I used to own the Linn Majik and Classik with CD built in to the unit. You can do much better!!! Even on your small budget.I like alot of "presence" in my music, "You are there" feeling. And as such, I have found the Jol... 
Need help with room problems
One of many reasons I like Maggie 1.6 speakers or anything above them (3.6's or 20's if you got the dough) are that they yield a very large 3D window on the music. The sweet spot is large if set up properly. And they do not sound much different ev... 
Is the McCormack DNA .5 that great?
I agree with everything stated above. I am a Very happy McCormack owner and can not wait to have Steve upgrade mine when I get enough extra dough.R. 
Jolida JD100...giant killer or all hype?
I second Beavis' comments above, but also see if you can find some 5751 triple black mica tubes for it, or something better than the stock tubes. You can not be too picky here cause lots of the 5751 NOS tubes are hard to find.R. 
Turntable and a Passive pre?
Check to see how "sensative" your amp is and compare it the output voltage of the phono stage. I run passive also with an amp that has a sensativity of 1.2 volts to drive it to full output. My phono stage output is based on the output of the cartr... 
quick Jolida jd100 / jd100A question
Howdy,Mike at Jolida told me that there is no difference. Mine is hot rodded by Parts Connection and I have 5751 triple mica black plates from GE (1950's) in it, and I am very very happy.R. 
Jolida 100 or Music Hall CD25
I agree with Rcj1231 above, as I have owned both of these modded players as well. For many reasons, I chose to keep the Jolida. Bottom line is it is more Musical and Real. The Music Hall began to wear on me. It's got Drive, but is too Hyped. And t... 
Maggie 1.6QR amplification questions
McCormack!!!!! I run a McCormack DNA-1 with mine and love it. All their amps are excellent. But the DNA 1 wins here cause it is a little older (so cheaper) and it is said to be a little warmer sounding than the newer series. I look forward to send...
