| AES3 any thoughts There are new SLP 88s on preamp classifieds here for around $1000-1200. That's half price. | |
| Can B&W Nautilus accept spades? Or Bananas only? I'm using Analysis Plus Oval 9 biwire on my N804s and they have the big T1 spades. Good wires , monster spades. | |
| Integrated amp & player for B&W 804, pls you didn't say how big your room is. I use Cary V12i/SLP 2002 to drive my N804s. In my 11x13 room, 50wpc triode is plenty of power for them. I used to use a Classe CAP 151 and it was effortless and a little tubelike for an integrated. The Unico wo... | |
| Analysis Plus Spker Cable Excellent Cable or Hype? These are my favorite as well. Like some of the others, I haven't compared them to much, only Alpha Core MI2 and Monster.They need a long time to breakin, which is why I think there are usually several pairs for sale here all the time. If you read... | |
| Sonic impressions of TG Audio 688 power cord? The 688 sounds like the SLVR , but lacks a small amount of the SLVR's bass response. At least that's what I hear so far. I have a SLVR on my digital source and a 688 on my preamp where the SLVR was briefly. I have another 688 cooking/breakin on my... | |
| Question about Cary Audio Cables... To the best of my knowledge, there are no Cary Audio branded cables. Cary is a Kimber dealer and sometimes makes special application ICs etc. for its customers. For example, they make up special ICs to biamp with Rocket 88 and V12i amps. I have se... | |
| Experience with Cary SLP 2002 preamp? I almost forgot to add that the 2002 has a killer tubed headphone outlet. I used it early on with the stock tubes and wasn't impressed since I used a Headroom Maxed Out Home headphone amp. I didn't let it warm up enough I know now. About a month a... | |
| Experience with Cary SLP 2002 preamp? I have owned the 2002 for over a year. I started with the stock tubes. They were OK for breakin and the combo of BelCanto 200.2 amp and Cary was great although somewhat dry. I eventually tube rolled it and settled on Telfunken 6DJ8s and Bugle Boy ... | |
| What Tube Amp Looks Coolest? Poor old Xwing wants "lots of tubes" and cheap. Most every thing you guys have offered ain't cheap or have nearly as many tubes as a Cary V12. Cary has 12 EL34s, two EL84s and two 6922s. Used V12s, not "i" version have sold for around $2000. That ... | |
| Well, What's the Verdict on the Cary 308T I can't help with a real comparison, because I don't have an actual Arcam CD23. What I do have is about four months use/experience with the 308T and two years experience with an Arcam CD92. My system is Cary SLP2002, V12i and B&W N804s. With a... | |
| Really need Amp advice. Go for seperate systems. You have the start of each one. If you mostly listen to two channel music, start there first. The B&W N804s are great. They will reveal each upgrade you make if it was worthwhile. I started with them and still have the... | |
| B&W 804's Vs. Vienna Acoustic Beethoven I think a lot of people that are not happy with their N804s either try them in a big or medium sized room, or with a receiver. B&W says they are for small rooms. I bought mine since my listening room is 11x13. These ain't no HT speakers. The D... | |
| new cary v12 needs new music All the above recomendations are very nice. I even learned about a few myself. About a week ago, I decided that my CD collection was lacking any Rolling Stones CDs. Yes I have them on vinyl , DVD and even a nice LD. On the Rock music forum at Audi... | |
| Reccomended power cords for Cary gear My V12i is connected with a Powersake Taipan and my 2002 pre is using a TG Audio SLVR. Cary 308 T is using Powersnake Viper V2. | |
| What is the sweetest sounding tube amp. Cary Rocket 88 and V12i are as close as Dennis could get to his best SET sound with PP amps. Having had both, I can say thet the Rocket is slightly sweeter than the V12i, but fell behind on dynamics in my system. It was a case of too much/ineffici... |
