About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8
"Wilson's will show whatever you put behind them" Not according to my experience I had of the Wilson's 5 yrs ago at a dealer in New Orleans. You could have put Jadis' top of line, 3 or 4 models even, and the W's would have poluted the Jadis sourse... 
Phase Linear
Ah ya, the Ol phase linear, the guy had great success. Made a ton of money. The field was not as competitive as it is now. Which could be the subject of a new topic. The Future Of High End stereo Amps. Are there changes taking place, or are all th... 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
Audiofeil: "There are other cdp in this under 1500 price range to consider". Yeah, like which one? Comapred to the Cayin 17? I pd 1200. Which cdp will match the Cayin 17 under 2K, heck I'll throw in another 1K for you to spend, so make that under 3K? 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
Audiofeil's comment that Canary sent 6moons a faulty unit for the review. Sounds like another american lab's story on their cdp. A famous lab btw. So don't anyone knock chinese as 'trash'. Also the unit broke 2X's in first 3 months. Had to ship it... 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
Well what are we to make of the story? Is there a Canary cdp or not? I only 1 dealer listing(retail/his price/whatever) @ 1400. Yes I see the site says , manufactured in USA. 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
Hi audiofeil, thanks for clarifying with the info. I didn't expect many comments on the Canary as it is new model. The remote from the photo does have a 'cheap" appearance to it. Unlike the Cayin remote which is 1st class. I never use a remote tho... 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
I see a Canary CD100 @ $1400 from a seller here. Where am i wrong. Also someone from China just told me the unit is designed/made in china. I am basing it on that statement. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Your last comment "there is no....the cap... 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
I;m thinging now, whereas the cayin gives one extra tube per channel, that might not be enough to match the Canary's Hovland Music caps. IOW you trade off 2 little tubes for 4 large caps, and 2 small ones. The Canary will mostly sing more beautifu... 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
Ck out those nice BIG Hovland Music caps in the Canary. makes you druel now doesn't it :-) 
Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube
I believe the Canary is made in china, got a Pm from a member in Hong Kong. I had an idea the Canary was made in china, but the site does not say,Anyone heard the unit? Or is it too new, no one owns it yet? 
What are the specs of a full range speaker?
Dave, from your explantion + the link I looked at earlier today, I finally get the idea of db level. "with rolloff of 12db per octave BELOW 45hz" That is not much going on in the 45hz range when the amp is at lower volume, which is how I listen. I... 
What are the specs of a full range speaker?
Dave help me out with this: "Thor, The tranmission line (dual 7 inch) produces 4db of bass lift from 20hz to 110hz, with loss less than 1db of ripple....the -3db point is 45hz with roll off of 12db per octave below 45hz. ....Usable in room bass re... 
What are the specs of a full range speaker?
Dave I do not ahve a good grasp of this equation, 3db@45hz vs -3db@90hz. Help me out. Yes thats the ones. Did you use the Thor or Odin measurments? Are they the same?Gee only to 45hz, the Thors. Well then please ck Tyler's System 2, with the 8 inc... 
Bloated speakers/weight wise
Zaikesman, true for those interested in high SPL listening, then cabinet resonance may be an issue. i rarely listen with my amp vol at more than 1/4 - 1/3. Plenty of muisc going on. These audio club meetings in New Orleans with high/super high SPL...
