(OP) User ID: 48818482 Canada01/05/2014 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In regards to the Jolida gear, with any modern tube gear swap the tubes for NOS USA made tubes. Russian tubes are better than Chinese ones but both are brighter than USA made ones and tend to sound a tad crisp. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47825444 noted...thank you for the input. Russian tubes, who wudda thunk it? i prefer a cleaner defined sound over the warm and fuzzy. Last Edited by J0SEPH on 01/05/2014 11:56 PM When Asked for proof of Saddam Hussian and WMD.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 47825444 United States01/06/2014 12:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A properly working MCS 3125 should rival high end gear of today, it was tested in Stereo Review or one of the magazines back in the early 80s when it came out. The THD is nothing short of amazing. It sounds it too. Chinese and Russian tubes tend to sound too crisp. It is not just warm and fuzzy but they don't have a good delivery of the full spectrum. We aren't taking that warm fuzzy 1930s amp here. |
