| I am looking for a CD player that has the ........ A Cary 308T has all the features you seek except "track search" buttons. It believe that this model MAY have been recently discontinued now but you can probably still find a new one somewhere. New would be at he upper end of your range and used at... | |
| Matching Merlin VSM's with a Cary SLI-80 John, I use the Cary with Tyler Ref. Monitors and its a great pairing, but I've been tempted by the VSM's for some time. Please report back with your findings. The Cary is a great amp. | |
| Tube rings for power tubes? FWIW, I use the herbie's tube dampers on the KT88's in my Cary SLI-80 with no problems. Herbie sells a version specifically for high-heat output tubes. | |
| Have AZ Martrix Ref II's/ Compare to Silver Ref 2 I went from AZ Matrix II's to AZ Silver Reference II's between my tubed Cary 308T CDP and Cary Sli-80 tubed integrated. In my sytem the Silver is "cleaner" sounding than than the Matrix II's, which sounded a little "thicker" in comparison. I know ... | |
| Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do? I have a similar setup (Rotel 1066 and 1075 and Denon 2200) in a 2nd system and use the VH Audio cords all around. You can get all three for well under $1000. See VHAudio.com for details on the various "flavors" to match with your components, alth... | |
| Hints on how to sell on A'gon? If you want to sell it quick, be realistic and price it aggressively - especially if there are similar products already listed. Also, good pictures are a necessity. I personally skim right over adds without pictures. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Ford F150 Supercrew. Hauls 5 people and cargo. How a man gets by without a truck is beyond me. | |
| Anyone heard Underwood level1 3910 mod? I can't speak to the Mods, but I've bought several pieces of equipment from Wally and can vouch for him as a great guy to deal with. Also, check out Six Moons.com, I think they have a number of reviews of Wally's modded products. | |
| integrated tube amp recommendations, with remote If you can stretch your budget, you can routinely find used Cary's SLI-80's for about $1800. In fact, one just sold here for about $1500. The remote on the Cary only controls volume, although I imagine this is true for most tube integrateds in thi... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas I would suggest draping blankets, of varying degrees of thickness, over your speakers until you reach the desired effect. | |
| Tyler Signature System versus Merlin VSM-MM Dave, just curious - approximately how small was the "smallish room" you reference? Thanks | |
| A "Unique" Voice... Natalie Merchant's voice is not necessarily "ugly", but I could see how a lot of people would not like her. It's interesting to compare her early albums to her later work. Her unique style of enunciation is now exaggerated to the point that she is... | |
| Tivoli Radio??? I'm another satisfied PAL owner. As portable radios go, I think it sounds fantastic. I have given a couple as gifts and the recipients love them. | |
| Do any of you fear dismantling your setups? That's one of the reasons I have a simple two channel system, i.e. a good integrated amp and a single source. In another room, I have a multi-channel processor, multi-channel amp, DVD, etc. housed in a armoire cabinet. Man, what a headache that se... | |
| Jolida JD100 noise issues Since the Jolida has a tube output stage, I would start with replacing the tubes - especially if you are still using the stock tubes. Contact some of the reputable tube dealers (such as Vintage Tube Services, Tube Depot or Upscale Audio, etc.) and... |
