| Cary SLI-80 vs Cary 300SEI Thanks Lacee. I've been meaning to revisit this issue.How is treble detail and bass control? Those are where there WOULD be weaknesses, if any.Thanks,Art | |
| Question about making 2.1 home theatre work My Marantz also seems to reduce the bass to the front pair of speakers when I tell it there is a subwoofer, even though I also tell it the front speakers are "large". I don't have any way to tell what the cutoff is though. | |
| REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade? "I would recommend trying something solid core as an upgrade to the stock stranded wire supplied from REL."Aha - back to the "coat hanger" conversation?Seriously, I'm tempted to call the Cable Company as a next step - I remember they had a great l... | |
| REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade? Perhaps shortening the original (35 foot?) cable is the ticket? | |
| My experience with long ICs I bought long IC's from Oritek. It was 4 or 5 meters, I forget. Ori modified the design of the cable, so that it would sound and function the same as the one meter. IMHO, it did. I used it for quite a while on a Cary SLI-80 and was very happy with... | |
| LSA speakers? 1. LSA bought DK, not the other way around.2. I also own LSA 1's, their "bottom of the line" bookshelf speaker, and I think it's wonderful. It has an uncanny life-like sound. Art | |
| Cary amp fuse blowing 1 advice 2 Bay Area fix? Yes I have had to replace a fuse after tubes blow. The fuses are located in the back of the amp near the a/c cord. You unscrew the black cap. Make sure to use the proper fuse! If I recall correctly, it is specified in the manual.Art | |
| Review: Bose 201 Series V A couple of years ago, I visited the home of a friend that I had not seen in quite some time. She had renovated her home and done an amazing job, really jaw dropping. I wish I knew how to do that. It was just incredibly tasteful and beautiful.They... | |
| Cary 303/300 vs. 306/200? Try searching for abecollins (one word although the fellow's name is Abe Collins). My memory is that there were adherents to both but more to the 303/300. However, some people (like Abe) prefered the 308T because of it's pure tube output stage, ov... | |
| The AR turntable I sold my AR ES-1 just a couple of years ago, purchased new in mid-1980's. It definitely has a warm, musical sound, deep but slightly soft bass. Personally I love turntables with suspensions (many don't) for their palpable and musical sound. I'm t... | |
| Cary 303/300 vs. 306/200? At the time that the 303/300 came out, and shortly thereafter, there was a lot of conversation comparing that unit to the older 306/200, since the latter's used price was in the ballpark or slightly less than the formers new price. I think if you ... | |
| Impressed with Tubes I've got a tube integrated (preamp plus amp), tube cd player and tube phone stage. Can't get enough tube :) Seriously, at least to my ear, solid state is just for office and bedroom systems. In my experience, if I had to put tubes in one component... | |
| iTunes How important is checking that error correction box when ripping cds in iTunes? I unchecked it early on because I found that I was getting worse results, but I don't remember the details, sigh... I think it was ripping more slowly and at times giv... |
