| BEST ACTIVE DESK TOP SPEAKERS UNDER $ 1000.00 Audioengine A2 or A5. The A2 was reviewed by Stereophile: http://www.stereophile.com/budgetcomponents/1207ae/ | |
| Which makes more sense? - CD player vs SACD SACD is definitely not moribund if you like classical, jazz or classick rock. Look at the Esoteric remasters, the Universal Japan SHM-SACD's, and the numerous releases on small labels! Even being pretty well resourced, I cannot afford to buy them ... | |
| The Anatomy of the Acapella Violon - shocking find Hi gents, I maintain the Acapella Violon mailing list. If you would like to join, send me an email. Also - there is an Acapella owners group on Facebook. To find it, search for "Acapella" on FB. See you there. | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Szyckf I am definitely interested in trying the KR 845M's in my amplifier. I use a pair of Cary CAD-211AE monoblocks. I do not know if my amps have a regulated filament supply. I haven't said so in this thread, but I have 3 KR 845's (not 845M's). ... | |
| Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps? Which amps? Solid state amps or valve amps? The valve amps seem to be upgraded regularly - CAD-211C became 211AE and now 211FE. Same with the CAD-805C. The solid state amps might be EOL'ed thanks to the end of a transistor run. Transistor manufact... | |
| Does anyone like vintage speakers? "If that's all you've heard, then I submit you haven't heard a properly set up vintage system." I have heard more than a dozen vintage systems in a few countries, in a variety of rooms from small to large, and with a variety of amplifiers. They al... | |
| Does anyone like vintage speakers? I would respectfully disagree with you, Ampster. Vintage speakers were designed around the limitations of amplifiers of the period - when 10W was considered a powerful amplifier. Consequently, nearly every vintage speaker I have heard sounds colou... | |
| Cary CAD-211AE tube rolling You are welcome, No_regrets :) For everyone else - I am curious what 300B's you are using in your 211AE's or 805AE's. Surely the sample on A'gon can't be that small. What 300B are you using, and how does it compare to the standard Cary 300B's? | |
| Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp Richard, sorry for the late response. All I can say is that there is no problem asking the SLP-05 to output both XLR and RCA at the same time. If you want an even better solution, you should consider an active crossover to remove bass frequencies ... | |
| Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp My SLP-05 can output from RCA and XLR simultaneously. Simply run XLR to amp and RCA to sub. Problem solved.If you want a fancier setup, check out my system. | |
| Cary CAD-211AE tube rolling Hi No Regrets - certainly. The 211AE comprehensively beats the 805 when it comes to bass, macrodynamics (though not microdynamics), and versatility. Beyond that, it is much of a muchness. The 211AE's bass is more plentiful, and it is much better c... | |
| Cary CAD-211AE tube rolling I thought I would bump my old thread with a report on rolling the 845's. I have compared the standard Cary supplied 845 with the Shuguang Psvane 845T, and the KR Audio 845's. Cary no-name 845's: rather thin sounding with the most lacklustre tone o... | |
| I am looking to get more bass out of my system Mainsound, to answer your question about whether an equalizer will help: USUALLY it won't. An equalizer can only be used to cut peaks in the bass response. It can not be used to boost bass response. If you were complaining of too much bass, or boo... | |
| Difference between mesh vs. solid plate 300B? After a few months, I finally found the answer to my own question on someone's blog. Link here: http://robertmusic.blogspot.com/2010/06/emission-labs-eml-5z3-revelation.html"Now, first a word about mesh plates. There are some very shady marketers ... |
