| Does Cary stack up to ARC Kettle, I have used ARC products for the last 15+ years, products include: Amps; D115, D125, Classic 60, V70, VT130, preamps; SP10, SP15, LS5, LS15, some of which I wish I had back (SP10). All of Audio Research products are great, HOWEVER, I just ... | |
| Anybody auditioned new Wadia 301 CDP? I have not heard it yet, but a friend of mine has. He heard it at a demo by the Wadia rep last week at a local stereo store here in So. Cal. He ordered one on the spot. He is replacing a very well known player that sells for almost twice as much. ... | |
| ML reQuest/ SL3 Owners: Seeking Advice I have been a Martin Logan owner for the last 15 years starting with the CLS's, Monoliths, and most recently the SL3's. One thing one must keep in mind, the Martin Logan speaker can and will drop down to 1.7 to 1.5 ohm load, and that can tax some ... | |
| What's the problem with Sony 777ES SACD? The only problem is the 777es originally sold for $3500.00 when they were first released and then Sony took it upon themselves to lower the price $1000.00 to $2500.00. I find a problem with that kind of marketing. I was an owner of a 777es, fortun... | |
| Best speaker with tubes? I can tell you with experience that Martin Logan (SL3's) are not a good match for the Cary V12. I have been listening to that very setup for the last month. I have since sold the SL3's and bought the Soliloquy 6.3's, not before trying several othe... | |
| Absolute Power Cords Whose heard them It depends on what you are going to use it for. I bought one thinking I would use it on my Wadia, didn't work. The base became very boomy, and I lost the sound stage (front to back and width), remember this cord has no shielding and on digital it ... | |
| Which Wadia? Just sold a #20, was not using the #27 DAC but a Timbre with great success. A friend of mine bought an 850 and brought it over to the house, was immediatly impressed so much I ended up buying one and am now using it straight into my amp (no preamp... | |
| Headphone amp for Sennheiser HD600 In my most humble opinion there is only one amp for the Sennheiser HD 600 headphone, and that amp would be the Wheatfield HA-2 tube amp, I am a lover of that glowing bottle. Have been using one in my system for well over a year. One must sample th... | |
| Highest B/B I thought I had read everything, but this truly takes the cake. If you are, as the above threads say, looking for something that does not sound good, and will only be used to break in a pair of speakers why would you not just go to your local "dis... | |
| Tubes for ARC Classic 150? With all The Audio Research power amps and most all other power amps that I have been using over the last 15 years, when replacing any of the tubes the amp needs to be rebiased, even with the use of the same tube (6550's, KT88's EL34 etc).One does... | |
| Question for SCD-1 and 777es owners. I used a Timbre DAC (which is now for sale) with a 777es with great success. I am sure any outboard DAC will improve the Sony SACD players. Good luck. | |
| Spkr cables for ARC VT100MK2 Because hearing is so subjective, there is no "best" answer, with that in mind I have been using the Transparent Audio Super speaker cables. Have had experience with the Nordost, Cardus, and a few other and have not heard a cable give the stage th... | |
| Antique Sound Labs Headphone Amp There are times when one must be quiet in his own home, for those times I am using the Wheatfield HA-1 with the Sennheiser HD600 with great success. I must admit that my whole system is a tube bassed system, so I am partial to those glowing tubes.... | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? If it is truely appearance that you are looking for, you must do yourself a favor and check out the Manley Stingray. Without a doubt it is on of the most head turning pieces of equipment you will ever see, and, if you believe what the magazines sa... | |
| Which Wadia?? I used a #20 for over 5 years, never had a desire to change the front end, although I did change elsewhere. Then I got curious about this SACD format, looked like the 777es had the same build quality as the Wadia so I sold the 20 and DAC and bough... |
