| canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala? Audio let me explain. I know what I say could be as you say meaningless to others. The 1% improvement is justa figure I pulled out of thin air. What that % is, no one can say. But fact is the changed opamps made a difference,. The new Sovtek tubes... | |
| canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala? Yes this tiny improvement from spending say $400 on tweaks to the cdp might not be worth it to anyone here but myself. I hear the diff, and my muisc is that much (2-3%) more enjoyable. Its there, its for real. | |
| canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala? True 1-2% is very difficult to perceive. But i assure you when i changed the stock chinese tubes with the russian NOS Sovtek grey plates 6922's, i noticed a difference, a improvement. Some of you tech guys, being around tubes and stereo's for yrs ... | |
| canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala? 1%. How can I tell. Well I replaced the stock tubes with NOS Sovtek's, I heard 2% improvement in cleaner image, sharper/more detailed. Hey 2% is 2%, it was worth it. The Hovlands should give 1-2% better image. Whats the problem? Is that un-realistic? | |
| canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala? Thanks Audio, I plan to hangon to the Cayin, and Sunday the local tech guru, Ken will see if we can replace the WIMA caps with Hovlands. Space may be a problemShould be about a $400 job, I'll keep everyone posted.The new Sovtek tubes Ken sold me b... | |
| canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala? Well I'm not sure if i'm willing to give up my Cayin 17's dual/high quality-sealed power supply/ture balanced design/with my new Sovtek NOS tubes/6 new high quality opamps/and may invest another $300 for Hovland caps vs the stock WIMA. ...all for ... | |
| Tube rolling in Cayin 17A Kehut, i just rolled the stocks to a quad of Sovtek's grey plates, old military, WOW!!! much more open and life-like. My classical muisc and jazz has taken on a more engaging experience. I had several tweaks done with the 17 by a loacl teck geek, ... | |
| Best cd player under 1K used If you could find a cayin 17 used for 1K, go for it. | |
| canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala? the Canary guts look really clean and spiffy. I'm thinking I may try a unit, to see how it compares to my super cayin 17. Its those beautiful Hovland caps that catch my attention. Now I only pd $1K for the cayin + new upgrade to the opamps/$200 fo... | |

Not sure what your TAD 1000 monos are but believe i... | |
| cdp's you had glitches with True, some chinese tube players are cheaply made. MHZS seems to be a fair value at $600. Where in this world are you going to get a tube cdp for $600? cary starts theirs at $3K. Is the Cary 5 X's better? I seriously doubt it. If the Cary breaks yo... | |
| Mods in Tube players: list in order Well I had the other 4 opamps replced in the 17. That makesa total of 6 changed. My tech guy said the original are $2 opamps, and he used ones that were "la creme de la creme" costing $25/each. I did notice a significant gain as the first 2 were c... |
