| cary 303/300 cd player with volume control I'm running my Cary 303/300 direct to a SS amp via balanced ICs. Have also used it with my tubed ARC LS-16 Mk II. I prefer the Cary direct, but have been making various system changes and will be doing some tube rolling so not certain this will be... | |
| Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm Unit1865 - I'm driving my Linbrook Signature System (one piece) with a Cary 303/300 direct via balanced ICs to a Crown Macro Reference with 760W per chn. Extremely tight, defined bass is a requirement for me. Had my ARC LS-16 Mk II preamp in chain... | |
| Cary 306 SACD Robm321 - All my software is redbook and I really can't see myself replacing hundreds of my favorite CDs with SACD - even if they were available in that format, which many are not. The quality of the redbook playback is what I'm interested in with... | |
| Cary 306 SACD Oldvinyl - If I recall correctly, you wrote some glowing reviews of the 303/300 on AA some months back. You say that the new 306 SACD is in another league compared to that player. Could you provide some more direct comparisons between the two when... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor I'm blessed to have a wife who is not only accepting of my hobby, but sometimes actually encourages it. One night after putting in some very expensive ICs to demo, she listened and said "you can't take those back!" She's also "given" me what was a... | |
| EchoBuster products, Does anybody use them? I highly recommend reading the Room Acoustics Forum (sponsered by Rives) on Audio Asylum. Both Rives and Ethan Winer are active participants and there's ton of good information regarding room acoustics, panels, traps etc. If you want to get into i... | |
| Tyler Linbrook System for butt kicking? While I didn't buy the Linbrook Signature System for rockin' out, they are certainly capable of it. The bass is very good - tight, detailed and about as low as you would want to go. I listen to a wide range of music and have found no area where th... | |
| CD players with variable output/volume control Add the Cary 303/200 and 303/300 to your list. The 303/200 goes for around $1500-1700 used here on Audiogon. I own both units and they can run direct to the amp. I prefer the functions of the new remote, though the older remote is impressive in it... | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. Slipknot1 - when it came to acoustical treatments, did you have them recommend particular products or did they supply you information/assembly drawings that you could make or install yourself? From the photos of your system, I can see a number of ... | |
| Looking for opinion, Cary 303/300, thinking about Oldvinyl - thanks very much for the input. I'm expecting delivery of my Cary 303/300 shortly and will be trying a few of the tubes you suggested. | |
| Looking for opinion, Cary 303/300, thinking about Can any 303/300 owners give some input on how the unit sounds direct to amp vs. through a pre? I currently own a 303/200 that I prefer running through an ARC LS-16 MkII, but wouldn't be opposed to going direct if it sounds great. Also, have you do... | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema Kmiller - Which Kubala-Sosna series did you listen to and which cables - IC, speaker, PC? A little more info on how you auditioned them in your system would be helpful. | |

| Please help me on a speaker selection Though I own a pair of Tyler Linbrook System (single piece) I can't offer you any advice on head-to-head comparisons with the other speakers on your list. (Finding dealers in my area that have something other than B&W and Paradigm can be a lit... | |
| Where do you find new music? I hit my local library and its branches almost every week. They've got a broad selection of music types and I just grab 10 disks and give them a spin over the weekend. I often find an album or two that is worth buying. The nice thing is that I can... |
