| Tried CD player Cary 300/300 and LOVED it, now what? nasaman Cary 300/300 and LOVED it, now what? I liked it also, it uses a PCM1792 dacs, which are a hy-brid R2R Muiltibit and Delata Sigma. I had a chance to compare it to the Cary 303/200 which is full R2R Multibit PCM1704 and preferred it becaus... | |
| klipsh forte III purchase Great speaker "for Klipsch" probably their most musical almost audiophile speaker they made. I still couldn't live with a pair, but they were a an enjoyable interlude.Cheers George | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? 1. I believe NPass is speaking to a perfect electronic interface world, which would necessitate building ones system around a PP, as opposed to trying to insert one into a active preamp system I believe it does, and that "perfect electronic int... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I think TVCs are the way to go passively and don't experience the loss of dynamics, TVC's are also great, but they do have their own colouration if you don't mind that, as that poor weak source signal has to go through a "mile" of very thin tra... | |
| Mcintosh 452 vs Pass Labs XA 30.5 “On these fairly easy to drive speakers, both will work fine...”Totem Mani2 speakers are actually not an easy load I beg to differ, you quoted me. They are an easy load for an amp, just not efficient so you need watts. Not looking for an argu... | |
| Mcintosh 452 vs Pass Labs XA 30.5 Totem Mani2 speakers are actually not an easy load Not correct. They are an easy load, they are just not efficient 80.7db, which means they need watts rather current when played loud. https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/Mani2fig1.jpg... | |

| Are there any really good cd cleaners out there? georgehifi,Your post seems to be serious regarding the Armour-All, so I want to remind you and everyone else that a long time ago Ken Kessler almost lost his job for recommending it when it was later found to damage CD’s after some time had passe... | |
| Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar? aalden 22years old v new with also latest surface mount components, you have a hard choice, myself knowing a little of the topology of both my money would go on the Vidar. Both should be able to drive your Thiel 1.5’s impedance load, as it’s b... | |

| Are there any really good cd cleaners out there? Here's one I tried back in the early days, Armor-All Original Protectant works great, and it gives those silver discs a slight gold look after you done it, with a soft cloth, spray on, wipe in, wait, then buff off.Cheers George | |
| Anyone know where I can get a Wadia 861 board? As I said in the email, Unfortunately the only way to get just the board fixed, without the unit, is Wadia themselves. As they would have a factory jig which can power it up with all the different connections so then a tech can measure and ... | |

I’ve dealt with impedance matching for many years now, having the product that I have.With impedance matching if one stays with the 1:10 or higher ratio you’ll have things covered. This goes for source to pre and from pre to amp/sAll you have to w... |
