| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? After several listenings the Cary 306/200 is much more analog sounding player than the Denon 1650AR. In my system it's like a change to tube amps vrs soild state. Lower bass is huge. Soundstage grew wider, deeper. Granted I'm a little late to cd p... | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? Pehare,Thanks for the info. I'll make sure I have the volume all the way up via the remote. Glad you let me know. I will let everyone know how I like the older Cary 306/200. Give me a week or two. All the best... | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? I pulled the trigger on the Cary 306/200. I'm not sure of the date built but, according to the owner it was a later model one year old when he purchased in 2007. I couldn't justify the cost of the Cary 303T. Perhaps, I will find oneused down the r... | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? Pehare,I have to admit I like how steamlined your system is.I take it you like the Cary 303/300 over your older 306/200? | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? Ok guys, I'm back to my original question. A used Cary 306/200 CDP some ten years old with all the great reviews.Or, the recently discontinued Cary CD500?All comments welcome. I'm leaning towards the older Cary.Any thoughts? All the best... | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? Hi Stereo5!The Audible Illusions 3B is awesome. I've only owned two other preamps. A ARCSP6B and the older Quicksilver full function which I think is pretty good.But, the 3B opens the doors on all my components. It makes my modest system shine as ... | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? You can check out my system. I do change amplifiers at times. Currently using a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono's, Audible Illusions 3B preamp and Vandersteens. Other gear is listed. All the best. | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? Thanks for responding guys. I've really only owned a couple of cd players since the mid eighties. A Denon dcd3300 kept me happy for many years until problems developed. Bought a used Rotel rcd1072 which was ok but the soundstage was smaller than t... | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? After further thought finding a used Cary CD 303T Proffesional Version would be the best choice...I'm seeking one in black.... | |
| Sony CD player CDP XA 20 ES question This unit was the next model down from the highly praisedSony XA7ES. Parts for both these units are iffy at best due to age. Problem could be a lazer and sometimes parts are on Ebay. Worth fixing if possible..Good luck. | |
| Newbie building modest system ...what amp? A used Belles 150A Hot Rod amp with a tube preamp into Vandersteens is a classic combination. | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album Great Topic. I have been collecting several Richard Thompson's live recordings. His recent "Dream Attic" is very good but, I keep listening to his older live recordings "Live from Austin Texas" recorded in 2001. The live mix is outstanding. Also, ... | |
| EL 34 Amp Recommendations I'm another fan of Quicksilver Mid Mono's and Will Vincent's Stereo 70. In both amps I perfer the Gold Lion KT66. | |
| Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics I'm thinking the Belles 350A Reference would mate well with the warm tube sound your looking for with power to drive the 10T's. I have not heard any of your gear but I have a older Belles 150A Hot Rod that sounds wonderful. I'm a tube fan as well ... | |
| Belles reference 150A Vs Belles Reference 150A V2 Great question! Also interested. I'm another fan of the Belles 150A Hot Rod. It's really a great sounding amp. Always wondered how the 150A Reference sounds?.... |
