| Negotiate good price I agree with most of the respondents here. Your attitude that you are a "manly negotiator in a feminine hobby" speaks volumes of the respect you offered the dealer and you got the response you deserved. | |
| Revel Ultima Gem & Cary CAD 805? I have the Revel Gems with a Cary SLI 80 I run in triode. Sounds great but I wish I had a little more power. | |
| I need some advice on High End Car Audio... I chased the car audio ghost for years. I gave up after installing a $5,000 upgrade to my Mercedes and it sounded worst than the stock system. In my 2007 BMW 530i I had the store install a nice Sub/amp for about $800. Filled in the bottom enough t... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena The Grand Veena blew me away. I heard them last year at Rocky Mountain Audio fest in Denver. I had just walked out of a room after listening to a pair of $80,000 speakers that left me uninspired. After entering the Reference 3A room I had goose bu... | |

| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? Billt1, why didn't you just buy a used Cary amp and new (NOS) tubes?????It was just a comfort level thing. Tubes are a new game to me so until I am very familiar I just figured it was a safe bet. | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? Great advice from all, thank you. I do buy allot of used gear with mostly positive results. With wear or limited life items I feel more comfortable with new. The Cary tube amp I just purchased was new because if not I would always wonder how many ... | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? I have been reading this tread with great interest. I too am posed with the same digital/analogue quandary. I have a main system which has taken me 6 years to get where I wanted it. Now completed I just could not stop myself, so hence was born a s... |
