| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit @boxer12 GR Research is a respected audiophile speaker manufacturer. They are devoted to the advancement of high end audio. Amir is not. Yep. It’s easy nitpicking for naysayers who don’t design and build successful sounding speakers that ac... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @sdl4 Thanks. I disconnected my custom stereo subs this week for amp updates, and just running the main speakers standalone with no bottom end reinforcement. Not too bad, there is added lower midrange resolution that some of my former ICs did not... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @decooney I’ll be interested in your impressions of the Clear Reflection ICs this time around. I started to reply with an update, and re-read your statements above. You already described it to a tee. I’m pleasantly perplexed how clarity and det... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante Yes, it is weird. Did you by chance plug the new amp into the same plug as before, or a different plug, and/or possibly different routing of cables too? Sometimes having two different power cables on top of each other or one of them cl... | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? @jsbw My new Dennis Had Inspire arrived today.Holy SH!T this was the absolute right choice @charles1dad Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful sounding genre of low power tube amplifiers. Fasten your seatbelt, or prepare to watch... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed Update-2. At 100+ hours on the interconnects testing my source to preamp. Man, several things just sound correct again. It’s opening up now, tone+, bass+, Glow is there. Already sounding nice. You know it’s right when you can’t stop listening. Hap... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @sdl4 thanks, and her comments would resonate with a few friends who think room setup first, before anything else. Where in my case, the room and speakers are fixed and not changing. I fall into the same situation as Angela, and some times overly ... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @sdl4 @jl1ny Thanks for the updates you guys. Translates to my reality as well, same with these as all other Cardas I’ve owned past 25+ yrs while these are a little more clear in a nice way yet retaining some of the body and characteristics we men... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @jl1ny @sdl4 do you recall what your early settling-in period was like with your new Clear Ref interconnects? Going through it again now, and hours 1-4 was nothing like hour 12 or again at 24+. The rollercoaster changes were notable at first, ... | |
| Is this a scam? ..."He said he would send the rest when the item was shipped." And what guarantee or assurance do you have? None. | |
| Jack White and acetate recordings Enjoyed his recent at Third Man in Detroit, "Fear of the Dawn" interview. | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @sdl4 ..."especially the fullness, tonal balance, midrange liquidity, richness, and smoothness I hear with the CR. The CR also images great and isn’t rolled off in the highs, but it also doesn’t over-emphasize high frequency detail at the expense... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Its good you guys are comparing these latest offerings to vintage, and reporting back. Helps to know what others are hearing too. Thanks! | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray Sure thing. Just to clarify, not all of my 6SN7 / CV181 tubes required any tapping to settle loose material floating around inside the tubes after some early burn-in. This did occur on some of my better-smaller signal 1960s NOS tubes fro... |
