| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? "@mdalton One other thought (a little surprised no one else mentions it) is Arcam" Note: I noticed on the Arcam UK site it shows "coming soon" right now for the SA-45. Appeared at shows last May '24. Checking just now, some dealers appear t... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? Happy Listening to you @tomic601. An inspirational visual of the APOGEE ACOUSTICS CENTAUR MINOR RIBBON SPEAKER HYBRID SYSTEM, and the associated Naim Unity Atom again for reference. Thanks for sharing your super interesting combo. That’s super co... | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables? @decooney - I think part of it is simply my comparison to the Gryphon solid state amp. : -) The CJ/LTA combo is very, very good. I am just wondering if I could make it better. Good, agree - no particular cable-length issues, and its good yo... | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables? If you are using Cygnus 4-wire conductor speaker cables now, and not getting enough energy out of if, its possible something else blocking upstream is going on, if I may suggest. Maybe something Clear or Clear Beyond is not going to solve for your... | |

Dual torroidals. Nice. Interesting too. ------ Quote; "Now the AP20 story gets interesting. It’s analog all the way from here on... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? @terenthia Advance Paris Myconnect, Vacuum Tube and Streaming Functionality... There it is - was wondering when it would surface here. And now a few pictures. Seems this unit is being marketed fairly aggressively around the world this past y... | |
| question for SLP05 owners: @lwin They were made to be stacked . I recently sold mine to a buddy who has them stacked just like I did for years. @harpo75 The reason Cary Audio changed the plate on top of the power supply to one without “foot indentions”, was to dis... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? "@livinon2wheels ...The lure of the simplicity combined with near audiophile or true audiophile quality is pretty compelling. Choosing out of this glut of gear is a daunting process, and so time consuming due to the lack of brick and mortar store... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out To @hilde45, yep its been a fun journey searching out the low-key / affordable / lower cost builders who don’t pay for advertising and don’t appear at the shows. Referrals like a few mentioned on this thread seems to be how these cats like to oper... | |

| question for SLP05 owners: No worries @immatthewj I was typing this as I rotated my tube monoblock amps out, inserting and warming up my other Class A 50w solid state amp on/off past few days. That SS class A gets to about 45-47C on the heat sinks as biased, and ensuring I... | |
| question for SLP05 owners: If it were me and you see any type of ventilation holes under each of your units, maybe consider ways of ensuring sufficient air gets in. Yes, we’ve both seen photos SLP-05/Power supply stacked, and I just checked a few reviewers that had them on... | |

For best sound, plan on stands and add a sub..." a few pics of another worthy solution mentioned three times so far... https://us.kef.com/products/ls50-wireless-2?srsltid=AfmB... | |
| question for SLP05 owners: You might want to call and ask Cary Audio directly what has been learned since the publishing of the last operating manual version. Ask the warranty-repair decision maker person there these days - and not a general sales person. I've had to deal w... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? @raysmtb1, re: MusicalCocoon Deserves pics for all to see. Kinda like having a vintage JBL Paragon cut in half on either side of you. Speaker-Headphones sort of. Another neat idea, that’s pretty cool. Love seeing new-old-renewed type of des... |
