| what happened to Cary 500MB? I thought that with impedances, you want a >10:1 ratio, which you would certainly get with 10K ohm: 400 ohm. | |
| Choosing a new turntable That's very helpful, yes, thank you. I would expect to have similar reactions to you, but need to see them in the flesh for myself, and listen to them of course. | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? I did email Cary and got a quick response. They still make the amp and say that any of their dealers can get it. | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? There are two pairs of 500MB's on Audiogon now, both at $4000 and both already sold. How much power do they draw at idle, does anyone know?Funny you should say that about Paradigm Actives. I heard a pair, think it was the 40s, at a show a fews bac... | |
| Reference 3a decapo vs. J M Reynard Duets/Bliss I have owned both of these exact speakers as part of the parade of small speakers that have passed through here during the past several years. The Duets I just sold, the Ref 3A's were several years ago.They don't sound very much alike but they are... | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? Wow, two for two! Ajackson1, what speakers do you have? | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? This is an old thread, but I wonder how the 500MB stack up to the Spectron. | |
| Firewire DACs? The short answer is "no." And the reason is that, unlike USB, Firewire computer interfaces all need custom drivers written for them. If you buy a Firewire DAC or Firewire - SPDIF converter, you will need to install drivers on your computer and pro... | |
| wbt terminals? I HATE them too. On an amp, you can probably replace them for something you like better. On a speaker, it could be more challenging. Here is what WBT told me:The plastic material (MakrolonT) reacts with alcohol based products. For example, some ae... | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go Not meaning to hijack the thread, but I'd be curious to hear from anyone who has listened to Dynaudio (especially the Confidence line) with Bryston, Spectron or any of the ICE amps, such as those from Bel Canto or Wyred4Sound. | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go When I got my C1s, I had Nuforce mono blocks along with some other amps. I did not care for the Nuforce with the Dyns, though I don't recall the specifics. Just seemed "not right." I used GamuT for quite a while and am now using Ayre, but the sear... | |
| Choosing a new turntable I read that Soundstage! review. In a PFO review, the reviewer also seemed to prefer his Sota to the Nott, but described the Nott as leaning toward the analytical side of the force. Interesting. When I listened to it at the dealer's yesterday, my t... | |
| Choosing a new turntable I looked at the Nottingham Ace Space today at a dealer. This is the current edition of the what used to be the Space Deck. The dealer had it fitted with a Rega arm that had been rewired, which is what he would suggest to keep me within my budget. ... | |
| Harbeth Radial Driver - How Good? Really? You find Dynaudio that way? Because I don't, not at all. | |
| Harbeth Radial Driver - How Good? I moved from Harbeth to Dynaudio, just to balance out the conversation a little. :-) |
