| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! @jayctoy - once you hear Fremer's set-up then you know exactly what he hears with his system and basically what he describes is what he actually hears. BUT otherwise the cat is out of the bag. AND if you actually notice, none of the speakers are... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? @mulveling - yes if you read all of the posts, there are plenty of inaccurate statements regarding power and sound quality. It is not my opinion but there is plenty of designs that prove this. As my partner in my company that manufacturers tube... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? To be honest, there are a lot of inaccurate statements in this thread. I am guessing that only a few people here know design and have experience in building an audio component. For example, a lesser power amp sound as good as a more powerful pow... | |
| Connectors from cross-overs to drivers question Just get a decent soldering iron and solder away. Just don't leave it on the terminals too long. I doubt you will hear a difference though. Soldering is not that hard even for nimrods like us! | |
| What is your experience with amp power? Power has nothing to do with sound quality. If that were true, then anyone could make a high powered amplifier. Comments about power and headroom are completely false. Power has really nothing to do with headroom. And higher power sounds bette... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @johnah5 - could not agree more. I wish I had a dime every time I heard these statements. In the NYC area we have heard so much gear and we all scratch our heads every time someone brings a unit of some kind by for a listen and walks away with n... | |

| Why does it take so long to get stuff? yeah ProAc is having delays right now | |
| Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers Dynaudio 20is. Great sounding room filling and easy to drive. There is a mint pair being offered now on us audiomart I didn't check to see if they were listed on Agon. Get them and you will never look back. The I version is a pretty newer model. | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? You just send it to me to upgrade the unit. We did one last year which came out stellar. PM me if you want and I can see if the guy who we did it for will speak to you. His was a basic upgrade. We could have taken it to a entire better level. ... | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) @granyring thanks but my partner Karl has a masters in electronics. He has repaired components that other so called repair people have given up on. Since he is a designer and not just a electronics tech person. But we don't know until we get... | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) @grannyring - everything is repairable, well almost. Depending on the damage to the board, we have been successful running wires under the circuit boards to connect broken solder traces. It is work but it can be done. Bill reach out to me regar... | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) @dilatante - The two we modified were Cary 306 SACD players. I have never had the pro version or any other version you mention. Cannot imagine that the difference would be that significant to what we did to the non pro version. In stock form tha... | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) @dilatsnte correct. I have never had the pro model but it would have to sound a whole lot better the the non pro unit as the non pro unit was nothing special to our ears. Not sure what the price differential is either. Once we got one in yo upgrad... | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) @dilatante the non pro model. Different dacs in it |
