| Cary slp05 vs Conrad Johnson CT6 Lefhan, I would be tempted to go with the Cary, if you get one of the used ones that seem to be selling at just about $4,000. When I was looking at a new preamp, I almost bought a Cary (used, at this price on Audiogon) in February 08.If you are a ... | |
| Preamp Turned Down/Amplifer Noise You are getting the hum from the amplifier or the speakers? If you are getting it from the amplifier, it may be a fan or a transformer hum (I am assuming you need to get pretty close to the amp to hear it).FWIW, I had a 3-way light in my listening... | |
| Will these HT amp/pre/pro's give me 2 chnl bliss? Jeffkad,For your budget and based on if I understand you correctly, you have the Pioneer surround sound receiver (with 5 or 7 channels of built in amplification) and speakers and your source equipment already and a expanded budget of $5,000.You sh... | |
| Cary slp05 vs Conrad Johnson CT6 The very, very little bit that I heard with the SLP 05 is that it can be a bit soft, lacking enough detail and punch for my tastes. Though since you have also questioned about comparing this to the CJ, this may be just what you are seeking as CJ h... | |
| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms I think more than the appearance of the room, which for some in a dedicated room is not as important, is the number of systems in these tiny little rooms. I have seen some systems with upwards of $25,000 - $50,000 worth of equipment in rooms that ... | |
| Great -Small- Cheap subwoofer ? Rel Q108! these are very nice subs and even held up to my use of two of them with my Wilson Duettes. I no longer have either, but the price for one of these subs is right at your price range. Easy to work with, easy to integrate and nice and small... | |
| CD or even Universal player with 2ch Digital IN ? Peter, sorry about the delay in posting a reply to your question. My view of the three CD players I have owned with the variable/volume control is:Capitole is awesome sounding in that it produces beautiful music. This is not to be confused with ne... | |
| Counterfeit Electronics?? You contact the manufacturer, just as you did. Fortunately, you were dealing with Krell, a company that is available to speak to people like you (us) and check such things for us.Many company's are so difficult to get in touch with and information... | |
| Calypso Amplifier Matching - Krell? Time for my report and experience with this preamp. Many have provided detailed reviews of this pream, with one particularly exceptional review and thread (if one is considering this preamp that thread should be reviewed).I purchased my Calypso fr... | |
| CD or even Universal player with 2ch Digital IN ? Kanuk, there are many CD players that fit this bill. I currently have a Resolution Audio Opus 21 and run a hard drive server (Cambridge Audio) into it via digital coax. Previously, I owned a Wadia with digital inputs and an Audio Aero Capitole wit... | |
| KEF 103/4 loudspeakers; any comments If you can refoam them yourself without putting too much money into them, then this was a good buy. While I have not listened to a pair of these for years, I do have very fond recollection of these Kef speakers. I think their coincidental speaker ... | |
| Most Reliable CDPs? Bigbucks, thanks for your clarification, sorry been on vacation so this is a delayed thanks. Nonetheless, I appreciate your reply. | |
| Old top-of-the-line A/V Receiver vs. new mid-level If you are concerned about two channel performance, then get a two channel amplifier. Having owned some of the most highly regarded multi-channel amplifiers, none of them (and I mean none of them that I have tried), could compare to a solid, good ... | |
| Receiver with preouts vs pre/pro Michael, Pre/Pro definately in regards to your reiterated statemen/question. If you think about the cost of a receiver (pre/pro + amplifier combined, which is what the AVR is) vs. a pre/pro for the same price, the pre/pro is putting all of the cos... | |
| Tinnitus Article Photon46, "Get any richer than your average audiologist"?I don't know too many wealthy audiologists (at least based on their incomes alone). My wife is an audiologist with a post graduate education of 3 year + 1 year internship + 2 years to get wh... |
