Cary v12 power cord
Powersnakes Taipan is the choice for my V12i. It tightened the bass and extended it and improved the microdynamics and resolution. This isn't a "star dust "filled cable. It is their amp/preamp cable. One of these on your amp and a Python on your C... 
My EMC-1 24 192 experience
How much space do you need above the EMC-1 for CD loading? 
Well, What's the Verdict on the Cary 308T
PeterS,Thanks for the Cary 308 comparison.What Fullrum is lookin for is info on the new $2500 Cary 308T that has a true tubed output section with two 12AU7s.There has been some discussion on Audio Asylum "digital" forum. claud 
Cary/AES phono stages
The AES PH1 is not a MC phono pre. It can be used with high output MC carts. It's also somewat cheap , around $500-700 depending on options. The Cary PH 301 is $3500 and does it all , as it should for that price. 
Seek Tube Amp to Flip-Flop with SS Amp
If I remember, The Stratus Gold i is 90db efficient. If your room's not too big, the Cary Rocket 88 might work like a champ. I use one to alternate (summer and winter) with my Bel Canto EVo2. My N804s are only 87db efficient, but my room's small a... 
Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada .
why comment. I guess we all have our particular phobias. For nine months I used the Bel Canto EVo 200.2. When used with my Classe' integrated as a preamp, it tended to be just a touch dry. My Cary SLP 2002 solved that slight problem. It also playe... 
Luminous Synchestra Signature, How good are they??
I read about the Synchestra Sigs on a post on Audio Asylum forum. The owner of the company as well as Bob Crump participated in the discussion. Bob uses their silver cable to make his speaker and ICs that he sells at TG Audio. He also tuned the Sy... 
Tube pre-amp with SS Classe Amp
Check out the Cary SLP 2002. It's got everything you want and more. Make sure you get a discount. 20% seems about right. 
Line Conditioners
Another vote for the VanEvers Reference 85. Bought one a month ago for my 2ch system. Gives better dynamics and quieter background than my old SuperCompanion w/Silver Audio Powerburst powercord. You can buy at a discount at Midi Classics. Get thei... 
Integrated Amps: Classe vs. Audio Refinement?
My CAP 151 has never thumped through the speakers. 
Tube preamp With 2 single ended outputs.
The new Cary SLP2002 has single ended and balanced double outputs , one labled HT bypass. 
B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's
As you can see from most of the responses, Natalie is right,"the size of your room dictates "which model you should use. B&W even say that the N804 is for small to medium size rooms, while the N803 is for medium size rooms. At 11'X13', my room... 
Integrated Amp upgrade
The British mags don't compare the lower priced integrated amps to the high end ones such as Plinius , Classe' , Krell,etc. Marantz is nice equipment compared to Denon, Arcam ,etc, but compared to a nice high current Classe', Plinius ,you can hear... 
Another Hum Problem Question
Hum problem solved. Preamp drops it's ground as part of it's protective circuit when it's cut off. Company pres said to leave it on 24/7. Tubes will last about four years.I didn't call him, he called me because I had talked with his support person... 
Owners of Bel Canto Evo 200.2 Please Help
I have had my used BC EVo about four months. All this time it has been just pluged into the wall. With a Classe' integrated for a preamp, it has shown a power to resolve I have never heard before. This is a killer amp!Last week I cured it's only f...
