CARY CAD120s clipping?
If the Cary SLI-80 did not work too well with your Totems, then the Cary 120S won't be that much better. Don't forget that sound pressure (loudness measured in db) is logarithmic, therefore, there is not much difference between a 40wpc and 60wpc a... 
What is the acceptable range for tube bias?
Your multi-meter should be set to measure milliamps (ma) not volts. What exactly does your manual say for the bias setting? Bias will drift between tubes over time, which is why it is recommended to periodically check the bias. You should be able ... 
Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII
I never heard of a Classe DR5, Model 5 or whatever being described as bright? J135 and I are going to agree on one thing...try out the Capri. 
Raidho D3 vs. Lansche No. 7
All I can add is that both speakers look similar. A lot of choice when you reach the $100K plateau. 
CARY CAD120s clipping?
Amp clipping is dependent on the speaker load and the current requirements; therefore, there is no simple answer. An inefficient low impedance speaker will cause your amp to clip easier when compared to a high efficient high impedance speaker for ... 
Interconnect cable
Try each cable and find out first hand. You can't do any harm with experimenting. 
Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII
J135, I am not disputing what you hear. My former dealer was one of the original and largest Classe dealers back when Dave Reich got started. He was also a Classe dealer when Glen Grue took over the company and forced Reich out. He was my source o... 
Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII
There are very very subtle changes performed to the circuitry between the original DR6 and Model Six. In some instance a few passive parts were changed to justify Glen Grue’s removal of any reference to the original designer Dave Reith (DR). The D... 
Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII
Luca58, IIRC there were 3 DR6 versions. Version 1 can be identified by the use of the 3-piece gold handles. Version 2 had 1 piece black handles and the Model 6 was a rebranded DR6 with a remote option. All three models shared the same topography a... 
CD Rom drive/laser assembly for Cary Audio??
Call Cary for the model number. They are very helpful. 
Another Platter Speed queston
The Platterspeed app is based on the premise that in order to reproduce the 3150hz tone, the table must turn exactly at 33 1/3 rpm. If the table runs slow, the test tone produced will be lower than 3150hz.Since your table reproduced a test tone gr... 
Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views?
Will do Charles, I will post my listening impressions on this thread. 
VPI Classic platter - is center milled?
Hey Abp689, since you are the only one with a raised centre Classic platter, did you ever get re-confirmation from VPI? I would be anxious to find out if I had the latest/newest design or a manufacturing defect. 
Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views?
I will have a chance to listen to the new Ruby STD next week. I came real close to purchasing an Opal but could not get my mind around the cosmetics, lack of remote, and the very industrial looking design. If the Ruby STD is that much better than ... 
Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put?
I don't see Blu-tak being soft enough to allow the diamond to penetrate the surface, thus allowing the Blu-tak to remove the stylus debris. Stick with Onzow Zerodust.
