| Wireless to my audio system ? A very simple way is the use an Air Port (AE) express and itunes as Sfar recommends but you can connect it directly to one of the inputs on your pre-amp and use the DAC in the AE. The DAC of course isn't the best on the AE but does a pretty decent... | |
| What is "low ball" I have sold things on this site and when I get an offer I feel is below what I will accept no matter how low I simply say No Thanks and move on. I never take it personnally. When people write ads stating that Low Ballers will be ignored I think th... | |
| Tube rolling in the Cary SLI-80 Signature Try some 5AR4's in-place of the 5U4 rectifiers.. Sovteks can be had for around $15.00 a piece...Chuck | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? This is where I am currently with tubes.......1) Sovteck 5AR4's in the rectifier position2) Bugel Boy (Holland) 6DJ8's in the signal position. The Bugel Boys are a little more forward in the mids than the Amperex 7308's but both are great and it i... | |

| Does Mcintosh MC75 drive B&W 802D well? You can always try it and if it is not enough upgrade the amps. This of course assumes you like the sonic character of the B&W's and wish to build a system around them.I used a cj premier 11a (70 wpc) amp to drive a pair of Thiel 3.6's and it ... | |
| Does Mcintosh MC75 drive B&W 802D well? If the speaker posses a relatively flat impedence curve and doesn't drop below 4 ohms then you should be fine. Of course it still depends on room size, type of music and how loud you play it.Chuck | |
