| Stumped If there's a knob on the Cary and a volume control on the remote, set them both at the max while turning down the volume at the pre-amp. If that doesn't fix it, try rebooting the Cary by disconnecting its power cord for 20-seconds or so.You'd have... | |
| Stumped Are you sure that there's not an internal digital or analog volume control in the Cary? Many CDPs have them so that you can eliminate the pre-amp. Control is usually only possible via the remote. If there's a Volume button on your remote, try push... | |
| Pictures, More Pictures As both a buyer and seller, I think that pictures are the most important part of the sale. As a buyer, I'll pass over dim pictures or out of focus picture (your pictures, ao far as they go, are excellent). As a seller, if there's the slightest nic... | |
| How important is the speaker/room interface? 05-21-08: Undertow asked:"What is a Sumiko MasterSet? I looked this up once and never found anything on it...."Hopefully before year end there'll be a DIY DVD out to help anyone do the Master Set themselves. Until then, it's a methodology for spea... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier Guido, at least that's what I'm hoping. Hopefully I can make a direct comparison in the next month or two. I'll drag my C-500 over to Soundings and listen vs. their Capri/312 combo.Dave | |
| Pictures, More Pictures If I were buying I'd also want a picture of the PC1.Dave | |
| Pictures, More Pictures Consider putting Rowland's phono cards in your Continuum 500. I did and they're exceptional. I sold my Pro-ject Tube Box SE after just a few minutes of listening to the Rowland cards. The cards take advantage of the super quiet infrastructure of t... | |
| How important is the speaker/room interface? 05-21-08: Frank_sm said:"I think it remains last on the list because of the WAF. It's hard enough to sneak a new turntable past the wife, let alone large bass traps, L.O.L."That's not a minor point. I've got a work-around for this so long as your ... | |
| How important is the speaker/room interface? I also think that the speaker/room interaction is one of the most overlooked aspects of system set up. I'm certainly not sure why, but I think most people just don't realize the importance. Most dealer setups are horrendous, even at shows like the... | |
| Ella & Vaughan on XRCD??? Oh yeah, I've got all the songbooks on LP. They're a historical landmark, so far as I'm concerned, AND every one of them sounds fantastic. The original artwork on the LPs is also great.Dave | |
| ? about oppo TIC said:"Later on, if you decide you want to upgrade the sound quality you are getting, send the Oppo off to Ric Shultz at EVS and have it mod'd. IMHO the sound quality will be at least as good as any sub $1000 dedicated CD player (mabe even a lo... | |
| Ella & Vaughan on XRCD??? "Take Love Easy" in incredible on vinyl. I don't have the CD for coparison, but the master of Ella and Joe Pass is one of the very best recordings of her voice. Pass takes a back seat with some incredible comping that's flawlessly recorded.So, I t... | |
| Interconnects Stick with a brand that works for you budet and performance-wise. If you wake up one day and find that you turned into a tweak overnight, then you can start searching for the "ideal" IC for each component. Good luck with that... ;-)Dave | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Kurt said:"I probably ought to think about reverting back to those AER Oris horns again, but I hate to go backward. It will lose a lot but gain in comfort and listenable dynamic range."Kurt, my friend, I have empathy, but I've never experienced yo... | |
