| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player Congrats on you purchase of the Luxman. It was on my short list but I wound up with an Ayon. Both are great players. | |
| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? I would have the dealer get a third one but I would make it clear, third strike and I'm out. I would talk to him first and then I would text or email him a summary of your conversation. Start out with "as we discussed...." | |
| What traditional dynamic speakers deliver a sonic signature similar to a horn speaker? I recently bought a pair of the Volti Razz's. They replaced a pair of Tekton Perfect Set 2-10's which were my 3rd pair of Tekton's. The Razz's are far superior to the Tektons in every way. No regrets here. Good luck. | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there I bought a First Watt F6 from Reno Hi Fi as it doubles down into 4 ohms . 25 wpc into 8 ohms and 50 wpc into 4 ohms . My speakers are 6 ohms nominal and around 93 db . It is glorious . | |
| Vtl 5.5 series 1, David Berning TF-10 or Melos SHA-Gold? The Melos will be a bit on the "laid back" part of the spectrum . If you system needs to be brought down a bit its a great piece . Sorry , I haven't owned the VTL or the Berning so I cant comment . | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R I really cant tell you anything about caps and changing the internal components . I can tell you that six nines copper will be musical and engaging if its solid core . If its stranded , for crying out loud , don't get me going . Find your self som... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R Why not silver wire ? If do a bit of research it will tell you that high frequencies travel at a slightly different speed through silver wire than copper . That is why silver wire is commonly thought to have more highs . There is not more highs ... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R Please do yourself a favor , don't start screwing around inside the amp . Play with the 4 or 8 ohm taps for the speakers , play with the bias , roll the tubes , use 2 , 4 or 6 per channel and try different power cords . But please don't put silver... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R Its 35 ma per tube . 2 tubes per side = 70 ma. 4 tubes per side =140ma . 6 tubes per side = 210 ma . The manual is wrong , if you go to 275 ma with 6 tubes per side you will pop the fuse . I got a cheap analog milli amp meter on ebay and added the... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R I used a meter and biased them to 35ma per tube . I believe you can use the little red lights and do about the same thing . Turn the adjuster till the light comes on and then just back it off until the lights next to the tubes goes off ( or vice v... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R BTW.... mine sounded better in single ended . My Cary SLP-05 pre amp / Ayon 2s player combo sounds better single ended also , go figure . | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R I rarely ran mine in 100wpc ultralinear mode also . The nice part is you could switch between UL mode and triode mode on the fly , even with music playing . Running only two tubes per channel ( about 17 wpc ) was very sweet if your speakers were e... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R I had a VTL - 85 that was a very nice amp . The Cary , however , was much better . This was driving Maggie 1.6 , Thiel 1.6 and 2.7 and the Tekton Lores . The Vtl was more tubey and the Cary was tighter . I also had a Belles Hotrod SS amp which so... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" I bought the original Lore's about 3 or years ago . I was shocked at what they could do with 17 wpc of triode power . Fast forward to last year ….bought a pair of Enzo 2.7's . They are amazing with the First Watt F6 , Cary SLP-05 and Ayon 2S. I re... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R I had one for a few years and like a moron I sold it . What's really neat is you don't have to run 6 tubes in each side . You can run 6 , 4 or 2 in each side , but it has to be an even number . 6 gives you 100wpc in UL and 50wpc in triode mode , 4... |
