| Help selecting a power cord. I love the cable believer camp! I'm a believer and I couldn't leave her if I tried!After so many cables and power cords, then dismantling a big(ish in this as-far-as-you-want-to-go world system and now rebuilding another new system especially over... | |
| USB Galvanic Isolation? @antigrunge2 have you explored the impact of the USB cable from the server to the isolator vs. the one from the isolator to your dac? | |
| USB Galvanic Isolation? Looks like JCAT uses Intona tech. Good to know they have their own isolator too. Thanks for that. | |
| USB Galvanic Isolation? I’m a cable believer for sure. I just picked up a Sablon Panatela Reserva. The Final Touch Callisto looks interesting, but the JCAT seems like the best fit for me.....and the reference has a separate power leg that I can leave unplugged. Sablon ha... | |
| USB Galvanic Isolation? Thanks for that. My AMR DP777SE has a fair amount of isolation on the DAC end to decouple the PC hash and some de-jitter protocols to boot. My DAC also doesn't need a the cable's power leg - does it make sense to get a signal only USB cable? I see... | |
| Old digital that still kicks butt Cary HDCD 306/200 w/ 8x1704's. When I sold my big rig almost 6 years ago, I went back to the Cary and was happy happy happy to hear it still more than held its own. Just a great sounding player and DAC still after 15 years. Recently sold mine awa... | |
| Cary 306/200 service? Thanks for that. Just seeing your response. I opened it up and greased it's wheels and it seemed to help some. Definitley just getting tired, I think, as it works well once it's warmed up and in a warmer environment. I sold the Cary to a friend an... | |

| Tube rolling with adapters? 6922->5670->6sn7? Thanks. That all makes sense. I'll look into the WE. Appreciate the lead! | |
| Cary 306/200 service? Thanks, George - looks like I'm not the only one looking for that! Gone last night only a couple hours after your post! Anyway, I'm not so keen on doing that detailed of work, but maybe I could find someone around here that would - it's a great tr... | |
| Cary 306/200 service? Thanks, guys. I opened it up and removed the copper shield to clean the rails and gears I could get to. Pretty tight quarters and wasn't comfortable taking it any more apart. Lowe's had some silica grease without petroleum products that was applie... | |
| Cary 306/200 service? Well, I got it open and the copper shield off. I cleaned the tracks off with isopropyl on a q-tip and it helped some. I'm looking into getting to the gears and will clean them, too. The 'pure silicone' spray I got is petroleum based with hexanes a... | |
| Cary 306/200 service? Sounds great. I'll open it up and see what I can do! | |
| Cary 306/200 service? Thanks for the response.I'll try that, then - although I'd rather have someone else do it as I'm clumsy and a little nervous about making things worse.Clean with isopropyl?What would be a good lube? | |
| Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines So, here's a more to the point question: room or gear?! - Would dropping serious money on gear be somewhat wasted without being able to use/tune a room specifically for listening?-My living room is not a dedicated space, not ideal and doesn't allo... |
