I decided a short time ago that it would be nice to have a short "Cliff Notes" A/V Home Theater Website where I could find basic info right away without going on a wild Google time consuming search. For instance, one of my links is to this forum and I listed this site. To make a long story...

"You mean to tell us that you are not capable of changing a track without causing damage Unless you have a tremor, or are extremely intoxicated while playing records, there should be no reason for that. (Even if you are, there's a thing called a "Cueing Mechanism" look into it)" I think...

I agree it makes the most sense if you are happy to listen to the record from beginning to end. I'm convinced though that no matter how good your player, the sound quality on it will decrease the more you play it.

One of my main beefs with Vinyl is being forced to listen to some lousy tracks unless you are willing to get up & lift the needle to play another track which in all likelyhood will eventually cause some damage to the record. If you think the vinyl experience is not skipping tracks & thus being...

Again, I'm not talking about the initial sound but the wear tear & hassles. Unless they've improved record players in the last 20 years- maybe they have for all I know, you have to manually get up & pick the record arm up to skip tracks that you don't want to hear unless you're willing to sit...

As someone who grew up & hated vinyl in the 60's solely because the records didn't sound as fresh after several playings & they were eventually scratched up as well as I had to get up & put on different tracks which scratched things up more, I'm totally confused with what seems to be this love...

I feel I've gone full circle here as I originally started this thread & didn't own the Musical Fidelity X-10 V3 then but bought it thanks to input on this thread. I also bought the Jolida JD-100 CD Player a few weeks ago & the combination of the Jolida (I use JJ ECC83 tubes) & the Musical...

I'm very new to the world of tube CD players, having just bought a Jolida JD-100 a month ago that I'm in love with when used with my Musical Fidelity X-10 V3 Tube Buffer & I Just bought a second one for my living room also coupled with the Tube Buffer & identical speaker & receivers set up in...

Would appreciate any answers or thoughts as to how best to maintain and use tube playing devices for the best sound & maximum lasting usage: Specifically: 1. For a Musical Fidelity Tube Buffer will it produce the best sound if its on all the time but a much shorter life? If I leave it...

I'm curious if anyone has this or actually heard it, if it's as fantastic sound wise as described. If I had the funds I would buy it but I've gotten such great results with my Jolida JD-100 & Musical Fidelity X-10 V3 Tube Buffer, I've held out.

I just ordered based on someones suggestion on this board the Behringer SRC2496 Ultramatch Pro Format Converter which supposidly will make bad recordings sound much better. What I'm totally confused about is what kind of cables or cable adapters I need to connect my CD player & my receiver to...

The Behringer SRC 2496 sounds like its definately worth me trying out for the price, thanks for telling me about it. A few questions for you on it. Is it basically a DAC & can you use it for all CDs or do you just use it for old stuff that wasn't recorded that well? Does it automatically...

What tubes are you using for the Jolida? Thanks

I'm also going to try, I can't resist the hype, the Doge 6 Tube Player, sold by Pacific Valve. Bear in mind, right now I'm listening to the Jolida with the stock tube & the tube buffer. The tube buffer sweatened the sound & expanded the soundstage tremendously. In regards to coloring the...

I'm using a Denon 3801 A/V Receiver. It sounds great to me with certain CD & DVD players & digital 5.1 Cable TV, but you could be right.
