| How to integrate phase of a subwoofer with mains? Start with a test tone that is below your crossover point of your mains. Set the volume to a comfortable level. Using a SPL meter at the seating position, adjust the phase of your sub that produces the highest output...you're done. Now comes the f... | |
| SET amps and biasing 300B's; expert advice needed I am not familar with your amp, but if it has a bias pot, it is there for a reason. When ever I change tubes I FIRST turn th bias pot way down, insert the new tubes, warm up for a couple of minutes, turn up the bias pot to the recommended setting,... | |
| Best tuner to listen to internet radio, not HD rad Get a Squeezebox Classic and don't look back. It will also allow you to access your itunes library through a WiFi connection. | |
| Best interconnect for bass only Experiment with different sub tower placement. Room placement will have a greater impact on bass than any IC and the price is right..free! | |
| Cary 120s I have no firsthand knowledge on the Cardas Teflon cap upgrade. I have only read good things about the Cardas caps coupled with the fact that Cary uses them in their new Founders edition 211. My experience is limited to V-caps and Mundorf in an 8... | |
| Cary 120s Rhljazz, sorry I cannot answer your question as to whether or not the 120s is a balanced defferential design as my friend only runs his single ended and I did not look that closely. Perhaps the XLR pin outs are different between the VAC and Cary, ... | |
| Cary 120s I just thought if you had balanced xlr outputs on your preamp that it means it is balanced circuitry...... I am new to high end gear so maybe that is wrong??Dave, I owned a DR6 and loved the preamp. Never ran it in balanced mode. A lot of manufa... | |

| Cary 120s One of the problems I had with the 120s is that it sounds poor with the stock tubes. At a minimum, I would expect an amp in this price range to sound excellent with a bit more performance gained through tube rolling. With the 120s, tube rolling is... | |
| Cary 120s Okay, I am a HUGE Cary fan and have quite a few of their products. To me the 120s is my least favorite from both a build quality down to the sound. The 120s just doesn't sound good to my ears. The Rocket 88 is far superior to the 120s. | |
| Cary SLP-05 vs Dodd Battery Pre At this level you rarely get better, just different based on your own likes and dislikes. What is it about the Cary that leaves you wanting to upgrade? | |
| Linn Upgrade? The Fr64x is only slightly lighter than the Fr64s due to the anodized aluminum arm tube. I am very surprised to hear that a Linn dealer would recommend a Fr64 series arm with a spring suspension due to the arm's mass. FR made the fr12 and fr14 spe... | |
| Linn Upgrade? I use to own a FR64s arm and it was not a very good match with a Linn table...way to heavy of an arm. The FR14 was designed for the Linn, but IMHO. it too was also too heavy. The FR64 has great re-sale value, therefore, I would part out the arm an... | |
