| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? Hey - Someone send me an email as to who this is. | |
| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? Shasta - Are you talking about the Lyra or did you have a problem with the Clear Audio and the importer Musical Surroundings - in my experience they are total jackasses. But I was wondering if you would offer up a compare/contrast of your from/to ... | |
| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? I just saw another thread here on 'gon where a guy had gone from Clear Audio to Lyra to good results. I may give Lyra a try. | |
| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? BTW - KJ, I know how you feel about Benz's, my experience with them has been that they sound exciting for about five minutes and then like romanticized mush. Too warm and imprecise with highlighted micro-dynamics to get you to say "wow", but someh... | |
| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? It's from a '70's Kenwood called a KR-44 - midline from '77. I like it as well as the Grado I've heard and think it's a decent comparable solid state-wise to the EAR 834. Both are phono's I like, despite their respective probs. Plus the Kenwood ac... | |
| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? What kind of phonostage were you using John? | |
| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? In normal operation, I tend to agree about the Dynavectors being good all-rounders, but they are a little touchy-feely, round, plummy, whatever... more like the $100. Grado I'm using. It sounds great on the Space, but I think I need something a li... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products Ok - I could complain about a radio shack choke in my Rocket - but let's be honest - all chokes suck. All chokes should be easily replaceable in a couple of hours, because eventually they all fail. "A mess of wire and not worth working on" though ... | |
| Anybody own Audio Experience Symphonies? I use it with a Cary Rocket and never had any hiss. Used to use it with Marantz Monoblocks. The 500MA's. Also good. Had a top of the line Rotel that was not as good for a preamp and finally sold it. Currently I am engaged in an interior revamp. I ... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products I purchased a Rocket via audiogon a year ago - dead tubes, bad fuses, no mA plug. Took a month to sort it out - weird hazy sound, tube swapping inconclusive - finally took it to a local shop and tested all the tubes. This was after a dead reading ... | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? Yeah 84, not 34 ...duh on my part... | |
| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers Ok, ok, already - Can we all just agree Dennis Had is probably kind of a hothead, if not actually a bad guy and go on with our lives? I'm more of a Bryston than a Krell man, if it comes to solid state. Anyway with the V12's it's probably an EL34 v... | |
| Manley Snappers ... good tube monos? I like them as well, from what I have heard. Interesting choice by the manufacturer in that they are the only, only Ultra-Linears I have seen on the market. Hence the high output. No shimmer of triodes for these guys - more of an all out assualt, ... | |
| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers You have offered up this same observation in at least one other thread where you also stated you preference for the likes of Pass Labs. It also had nothing to do with the topic there. It doesn't sound like a soild state amp therefore it is unrelia... | |
| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers Hey Chris - I hear you on the 300 vs 80 question. Was not meaning to be really harsh, but I have watched Nrchy do this before. Was not saying anything about valid vs. invalid - I had asked for specifics and none were provided, which is his typical... |
