| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just changed out the Reds to Blacks in my Cambridge 851C. I have roughly 72 hours on them and definitely an improvement over the Reds. Playing with direction of the fuses now and one I definitely had in the wrong direction. I started with a Black ... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? Interesting. My Dad has a Line 1 and running it through his ARC VT50 tube amp, no matter how far you ramp the volume up it is dead silent with ones ear right up on the tweeter. He runs NOS tubes so maybe they're lower noise. No doubt sending it in... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? Maybe, but I suspect the XA is a little more refined regardless. My Aerial's require a lot of power so I'll stick with the X series. Can't recall if you're running balanced cables from the SF to the Pass as that will lower the noise floor. My X250... | |
| NAD 216 v NAD 2600/2700 Which is better? My first set of separates was a NAD 2600A, 1300 and I believe a 5100 CD player on Magnepans SMG As back in the late 80's. At the time I was very happy with that system being out of school. Nothing wrong with a 2600A amp if that's where you budget ... | |
| CD player or CD transport ?? Just noticed you want SACD. The Cambridge doesn't offer that. | |
| CD player or CD transport ?? Really enjoy my Cambridge 851C. Great Player and I suspect it will sound better own its own rather than the DAC in your Cary but who knows. | |

| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components lowrider57. The DiD's are 1 7/16" tall - 2" Dia. | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Ha... another drummer. The myrtle wood blocks work really good and I too use them under most of my gear instead of the stock feet; use three per. I use the stock feet on my table and my preamp I run three Daedalus DiD's. All equipment sits on bamb... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Definitely agree with r_f_sayles last post. Give it some time. | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components I only use four of the moongels at the corners. Try it that way and see if it changes. You mentioned earlier you use the Herbie tube dampers I believe. I use them too and prefer them. I run my dampers all the way to the top. If you have them in th... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? What are you using for an amp currently to rule your Yamaha receiver is more transparent than the Line-2? I can't imagine any receiver especially a $250 AVR has a better preamp section. Not sure if you're cranking the treble on the AVR giving it m... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? No disrespect to Klyne Audio. That was not my intention on my earlier post. I've not heard their preamps but over the years I have read many great things about them. I'm sure they make a great product. What I was trying to imply is the SF Line-2 i... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? Very Happy with the EH tubes I run in my ModWright. I use EH tubes from Cryoset Certified and have been very pleased with them. I recently picked up a set of Daedalus DiDs Isolation Devices which I can't speak highly enough about. Took them over t... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? Send your Line 2 to Chris for the upgrades before you go SS. I think you'd have to make the move to the XP20 to do better. The Line 2 will hold its own with your future plans. Get the Pass amp first and see how your Line 2 does. If you're running ... |
