Great musical CDP?
Bobheinatz, I am the new owner of a preowned Cary SACD 306. It is a wonderful player, paired with an Audio Horizons pre amp, Halcro power amp and Newform Research speakers. I go through the componant inventory because a cdp exists in a "community"... 
Help - Need Preamp under 5K for Class D amps
Desalvo55, I run a class D Halcro MC20 through a pair of Newform Research hybrids. Have made some significant changes to my system to achieve the very goals you mention. Last year, I bought a Cambridge Audio 804c player and a pre-owned AtmaSphere ...

Ozzy, will do. But have to get the preamp first. Love that Pass gear. I have a Pass Aleph 5 with a Blue Circel 21 and Duevel Planets in my study system. On a cold winter's night, we all huddle around that little furnace. Best, D1 
Unexpected preamp needed- return policy important
Additional info - the Halcro and Cary are fully balanced, so looking for this in preamp.Narrod, the cd is my only source. Can you suggest specific passive volume controls for me to research?Tx D1.

Ozzy, all I can say about the volume control thing is "Doh." I suspect I would have figured that out for myself next week when it arrives. I looked at so many with (Wadia, Opus, etc) I forgot that small detail about the Cary. Still, I am very happ...

ET, how does a passive line stage work, and how does the additon of another componant benefit a cd player like the Cary which has its own volume control - which is one of the primary reasons I chose it. Tx D1

Douglas, I am obliged for your recommendations which I will devote some time to. Seems that the current popular flavors are the Tel Wire vs. Lessloss in generally the same price range. Any comments on either? And as a pratical matter, are there sp...

Amfibius, your comment re the balanced outputs is well taken. The Halcro is true balanced, which is one of the reason I bought the Cary.Douglas, I will start with the XLR Anticables I have. No aftermarket pc yet. As I have never really experimente... 
BC 21 upgrades - anyone?
Audphile1, sound advise. Much obliged. 
Tubes to solid state for amplifier path...
I've got a Pass Aleph 5 - the mini furnace I call it. That baby can really crank out the btu's. And on a cold winter's night here in Maine, me and the Mrs just curl up next to that baby. Granted, it does not throw as much heat as the Waterford, bu... 
Need Speakers at least 4 feet high
Springbok10, I would suggest the Newform Research line (http://www.newformresearch.com/products.htm). I have been living very happily with the 645 for about six years. They are a hybrid with conventional bass drivers and a ribbon for the upper ran... 
Duevel Planets - comments?
Aball, thanks for the great review. Sounds like just ticket for me. I had been looking at something quite a bit more dear - the VA Mahlers or Verity Parsifals. But I came to my senses and realized that the omni design of the Planets is perfect for... 
Duevel Planets - comments?
Rhljazz, thanks for sharing. Sounds like the perfect speaker for my decor, casual listening intentions and the very asymmetrical design of my room.
