| Amplifier auto standby mode when input signal removed Did that and left message. Received call back from a U.S. Ayon dealer a week ago who was unable to answer this question with any authority. I’ll drop the issue at this point because the occurrence is consistent enough that I’m confident that the b... | |
| Amplifier auto standby mode when input signal removed I have the owner’s manual which was provided with the amplifier and nowhere is there any reference to switching the amp off when not in use. On the Internet I found the reference used by the responder which is a summarized version of the manual b... | |
| Positioning full range electrostatic speakers Musicaddict, my first Martin Logan Electrostats were the SL3's that I bought from Sound Advice many years ago. Following that I've had the Prodigy's, Odyssey's, Ethos, CLS2 X 2, as fronts and many other of their products when doing surround. On th... | |
| Positioning full range electrostatic speakers Atmasphere, I'm always glad when you enter a conversation especially when I have a vacuum tube question. In several other posts I've mentioned concerns regarding the Martin Logan CLS2 speakers and amplifier power needed for their best performance.... | |
| Positioning full range electrostatic speakers In the end I decided to make the commitment to leave it on the entertainment console where it rightfully should be in the first place. Because it's a relatively high wattage class A vacuum tube amp it needs all the air circulation it can get. Also... | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier Yes, jss, during the same conversation with Cary I asked about the ss diodes as a substitute for the 5U4’s. The response was similar to the bias question; they recommended against it for reasons of potential reliability and longevity compromise. A... | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier Hoping not to run this into the ground I have a little more to say. The observations I reported in the last post remain correct to the extent that I’m meaningfully able to get the points across. It’s obvious that everything is tighter and attack,... | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier Ok, before considering any circuitry mods to accommodate rectification considerations, I wanted to know whether exchanging the tubes for ss would be worth pursuing in the first place. I plugged in the YJR Yellow Jackets, reset the bias to Cary’s 7... | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier Atmasphere not atmosphere. Damned spelling correction feature. | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier Atmosphere, over the years I’ve learned much from your posts and I appreciate this response which I think I mostly understand. Anyway, because I’ve already bought them I’m going to try the ss rectifiers simply out of curiosity. I have one question... | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier Until this discussion I’d never heard the term “super rectifier” and I’ve been in this hobby off and on since 1959. My previous thinking about rectifiers has been that, because their function is not in the signal stream, their influence on sound p... | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier I appreciate the comments and expressed concerns much of which have been part of my own thinking. And i realize that in the opinion of Cary staff they thought the voicing would would be a generalized most appropriate sound for the end users. The f... | |
| Hearing Aids and Music For those of you who are considering trying aids and find them a bit outside of your financial comfort zone, I understand. When I started looking, i found that the really good ones cost more than any single component in my system at that time so ... | |

| Q Bias for Cary SLI-80 I have the SLi80 and recently found that increasing the bias to 90mA resulted in a significant change for the better (for my taste at least) in triode mode. The upper mid and higher frequencies are more crisp and precise with improved firmness ac... |
