| 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 ... | |
| Bryston vs Modwright? Not sure your Dali's need such a big amp as the 4bSST2. Not heard either amp you mentioned but I'd recommend doing what you can to hear both amps in your system before making a purchase. Modwright and Audio Advisor on the Bryston will let you retu... | |
| What is the perferred material for a TT shelf? This will only set you back $40 or so give it a try; I use this on my Pro-Ject Xtension 10 and I'm happy with the results and it was easy and cheap.IKEA Lamplig bamboo cutting board. The board has a grove on one side so I have that side facing dow... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components I run my ModWright LS 36.5 on 3 Daedalus DiD,s isolation devices on a bamboo cutting board from Ikea "Lamplig" on 4 RTOM Moongel dampening gels on my rack. The cutting board and gel pads are very affordable and made a difference but the DiD's on t... |
