I don't remember seeing this or contributing to this thread. I've had my StudioDeck for about 2 years now and have never looked back. Nice to see some other Lounge users too @jonstine and @HayesWeighsIn! I upgraded my LCR MKIII to the Gold about a year ago and can also sing it's praise and...

Update: after trying a new 12ax7 and still running into the same issues with the bad left channel I took my Jolida to the local certified tech they use for their warranty repairs. Turns out a resistor went out that caused the channel to hum and cease. He said in his 25 years working on Jolidas...

I actually talked to the nice people at Black Ice this morning and they think its the 12ax7 that went bad since that connects to both channels. They're sending me out a new one to try that first but at least heard they have a local warranty person who can service it in case that doesn't solve...

I gave that a shot thinking that could help resolve or at least pinpoint that it’s the tubes. I’m still only getting sound out of the right channel but now noticed a hum come from the left channel. Seems like it may be something internal at this point perhaps with wiring? I’m going to reach out...

I just experienced a bit of an issue on my Jolida as well - I went to power it on just a bit ago and put on a record and was only getting sound out of the right channel. I thought it might be the speaker initially but I changed speaker wires, which didn't do anything and then changed the...

That’s right, you’d run your phonostage through the aux input on the Jolida and switch the bypass to on. I’m really happy with my Jolida and bought that same 6802 with the 6550 tubes that @HiFi Guy mentioned from Underwood. I ended up getting my Nagaoka MP-200 from a Japanese seller on eBay...

I’m beginning to dive into a search on new floorstanding speakers and would love to hear some suggestion/recommendations that would stick into a $2500-3k budget. They’d reside in my main living room area that’s approx 18x20 and driven by my Jolida 8602 with 6550s. Obviously it’s a bit of a...

I’m potentially looking to upgrade my speakers and keep coming back to these Elacs given the value, reviews, and overall return on investment. Is there something else that I should consider in this price range that would be a better potential fit for my system? ELAC - Adante AF-61 Tower...

Freshly installed Nagaoka MP-200 after its 5 weeks adventure from Japan. As cliche as it might sound I’m already noticing details on albums that I’ve never heard before.

Here I am, proud owner of my new Jolida 6802 with the 6550 tubes. I got things setup late last night and already really pleased with how everything sounds. It still needs a bit of burn in but it’s wild how huge everything sounds already. The one thing I still want to mess around with is...

Not until Tuesday so still playing the waiting game as it makes the cross country trek from Maryland. Oh the anticipation!

Welp, I officially took the dive and ordered the 6802 from Wally. Excited to get into this world of tubes and see what it's all about!

Appreciate the notes and details on this @HiFi Guy and @displayname. I’m leaning towards the 6802 since that seems to get a bit more bang for the buck. Only real concern would be the better MD return policy in going the 3502 route.

Curious if there are any suggestions getting the Fusion 3502 or 6802 as my first jump into tubes @HiFi Guy @AnthonyI @displayname currently run wharfedale diamond 10.7 speakers off my marantz pm8005 and lounge lcr mkIII gold.
