| Cary amp fuse blowing 1 advice 2 Bay Area fix? I called Gerald at Cary, and he suggested it probably was the power tube. And to be extremely careful with the bias setting.I checked the manual and there is an AC fuse (which did not blow) and two "tube fuses" (one of which did blow). The tube fu... | |
| Cary amp fuse blowing 1 advice 2 Bay Area fix? I think I'm using a half amp 250 volt fuse. I'll check with Cary on this.(IPA ok?)Thanks,Art | |
| iPod: Lossless vs 320 vs 192 Thanks Jeffrey - I had completely fogotten about the option of using a small external amp. I did hear a few of them at the head-fi.org conference in San Jose and they were impressive. | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... Often a thin sound is due to underpowering; that is, given the efficiency of the speaker and the size of room and your musical taste, more power may be needed. Sometimes we think we have enough power just because we get volume....Art | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... I recently left my V2 integrated on for 72 hours straight, driving Thiel 1.6's for breakin (3 ohm min), and found that there was a little residual RFI interference on cheap FM tuners by the end of that period. Perhaps the long time and heat build-... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... My experience is with the integrated. I owned the original 50 watt v1, then upgraded to 100 watt v2, then upgraded to v2. I think the v2 is cleaner, clearer sounding, and more extended on top; possibly more extended on bottom not sure. Overall it ... | |
| New York, New York - Audio Stores????? Oh yeah, as for New York City, I've had fine experiences at Innovative and Singer. I can't say about the others. | |
| New York, New York - Audio Stores????? I've had experiences where dealers decided I was probably going to just use them for demo and then buy on the internet. In every case they were wrong, but, maybe they are just tired of being burned and overly cautious? I AM very active on the inte... | |
| Cary 300SEI vs Art Audio PX-25 Art Audio always struck me as having a family sound that is a bit more linear and a bit more detailed on top (air) as compared to Cary. I love both though. | |
| Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them The click upon power-up is gone. History.The volume control is still slow. I think there are remote key combinations that speed up the volume control but I've not figured that out yet.Art | |
| Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them I got my integrated upgraded twice: first to the 100wpc, then to the v2. The power upgrade added liveliness and a little more muscle. The V2 solved the RFI problem, and added extension on top and speed top to bottom, without compromising the natur... | |
| Whose got best class D at this point? I have a NuForce integrated with upgraded power supply (to 100 wpc) and upgraded to the V2 board. The V2 board appears to fix the RFI problem, which was very severe in my home. I had an early version of the integrated (I think) and when it was tur... | |
| Difference between Shure E3 and E3c? The price is marked down because this is an older line. The new line is SE210, SE310, SE420, SE530. That said, E3c is a great piece IMHO, and competitive at it's slightly marked down price. Important: See if you can order a set of the Shure "Black... | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield I spoke with Gary today, customer service at Thiel, (regarding a repair on a cs1.6 that UPS damaged) and I happened to ask him about Crutchfield. He said that yes, they believe they will reach a new audience and that Crutchfield's customer service... |
