    Disheartened and ready to leave

    Some of the resent attacks on my character have made me rethink this

    forum. I spend hours on here everyday, but there is no reason that I

    should have my character attacked, I considered everyone on here my

    friends as I have none of my own. Audio is my life, and I mean that, it

    is all i think about and all I care about. But I got attacked for

    trying to better my system, that is just crazy. I know otheres on the

    forum have been attacked like me, some stay and some have left. I am

    not sure what I am going to do, but I am starting to rethink things.

    I need your help Guys

    Well I have read all the reviews I could find, and all the reviewers

    said the same thing, killer value, killer midrange, rolled off high (

    which I like to tame the horns) and slow but over all good lows. I just

    have to try it, and for the deal I am getting I can turn around and

    sell it for no loss, so I have nothing to loose but time. If I find I

    do not like it I will sell it and buy a merlin and get off my lazy butt.

    Well let me voice my concern. The rf-3's were bought to hold my system

    over intil I upgraded all of my components then I would sell those, and

    some money and buy a mint pair of cornwalls. So I am not sure if I

    should upgrade the x-overs, but dean gave me an atractive offer. As for

    the merlin, I do love it, but here is the thing, I play alot of sports

    and do physical things all of the time, and so I want to sit back and

    relax while listening to music. I have to change the volume alot

    because of parents walking into room or phone calls. So the remote for

    the shanling is very aluring. As for the cd player, mine I can live

    with, for now. I mean it would only be another few months intill I

    would have the money to buy it.

    I know I shouldnt be lazy, but that remote is very important, since a

    great deal of listening is when I am too tired to walk, let alone get

    up and keep changing the volume. I fell that is my determining factor.

    I know I should make my money go futher, but I am tired of settling for

    second best. I am not sure if you guys know the feeling, but for once I

    would like to get something that I want, not just something I have to

    get because of budget. Now with that being said, I have found a deal on

    a perfect jolida 100a, slightly moded, with new tubes, and extras to

    boot and sound damping material. And a deal on a shanling almost new

    shanling for $950 + shiping. Now lets forgo the question of different

    gear, and now I ask which of these too will make my system sound better?

    Oh and I made it seem like I didn't like the merlin, well I do, and I

    plan to buy one for the second system sometime in the future, but I

    need that remote.

    Well, I have $1000 right now!!! Earn all by myself thank you very

    much. Anyway I am going to be buying an upgrade for the system. What

    will make the biggest impact in my system. Which is as follows,

    Speakers: Klipsch RF-3's

    CD Player: Total POS from 1994

    Amp: Teac A-l700p (not bad), I am using the volume control on it

    Misc: Monster Power hts 3600

    Now my question is which of these choices will make the biggest impact,

    A level one moded Jolida 100a or a Shanling Stp-80 Intergrated amp.

    Both are awesome pieces from what I hear, and I have heard the shanling

    and LOVE it and the looks are killer. However which is going to be best

    for the system?

    I am also open to other idea's for new gear that will help in my price range.

    Thanks

    James

    Which amp?

    I have had my mind set on having craig (nosvalves) build me a moded

    dynaco Stereo 70, however I do not want to neglect the newer aspect of

    audio. My system is in my profile, and budget is $1000 or under. I was

    considering a rotel rb-1080 or even the 1090 if it comes up for the

    right price on the used market. As of right now I am running rf-3's

    which love low ohm power, but an upgrade is in the forseeable future,

    less that a year. Which is either Rf-7's or Cornwalls, so for a power

    amp I would like one that keeps both options open without an upgrade. I

    am open to other sugestions in my price range, be it tube or ss that

    will sound great on both speakers and my current rf's. This may be too

    much to ask but I hope it is not

    Which Jolida Cd mod to get?

    It looks like within the next few weeks I will be buying a new cd

    player. I have pretty much settled on the Jolida 100a. My question to

    anyone who knows is what to go with in the way of mods. Stock, stock

    with better tubes, companies that do mods, etc. What is the best way to

    go on this player.

    Thanks
