    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    There was a time when I was content with these. Then a friend brought over some Shunyatas and showed me how little I know about electricity.

    I found some Millard 12ax7s that I haven’t used in years. They sound better than any of the others that I’ve tried in the Jolida; bass, very good midrange, gently rolled off highs. I want to compare it with some of the others when they’re warmed up.

    If I wanted to A/B tubes, how long should I let the B tube warm up before listening?

    Is there a benefit to using the same brand of power cable throughout your system? I have one, a Shunyata Venom, but I need one to two others.

    Nice setup. What are those speakers?

    Listening to the Tung-Sol 12AX7 now and it’s probably closest to the JJ Gold Pin, but with a nice and wide soundstage. Bass is good. I also tried the 8ohm taps VERY briefly and it was non-starter with these speakers. The bass really dropped and the sound was very thin. The upper mids to treble...

    My Focal 826v are rated at 8ohms but dip down to 2.9ohms in the upper bass, so I went to the 4ohm taps first. Haven’t tried 8 yet.

    I haven't tried that. The table is grounded to the Sutherland.

    So here's the two-day hot take on the Jolida 801 I picked up from @kvetcha. This is the first tube amp I've had in ages; I think I was still using a Gemini table with a plastic platter at the time, and the amp wasn't very good either. I'm loving the added midrange. Vocals are much more...

    Woah. If a few of us went over there we could take the entire thing. I bet some record shops are on this already.

    My Focals are 8ohms and dip down to 2.9 @118Hz!

    Instead of diving into tubes, I decided to dip my toe in by snapping up @kvetcha’s Jolida. Then I’ll be able to make a better decision on what direction I go with tubes. If I end up replacing the Focals with say a pair of Zu Souls (cough, cough, @hifiguy), I can take a good look at some SETs...

    What makes you say you need a preamp for the Torii?

    The only thing I could come up with is that the ride in the trunk shifted something just enough that it started working again. That felt like I was reaching, but I have no other explanation at the moment.
