| Upgrade for Cary 306? Yes it’s very ear opening, to have an active I/V (current to voltage) stage after the D to A converters that has no global feedback. This was further advanced by me from Pedja Rogics (of Audial fame) who first use of the AD844 a 2000 V/μs opamp. T... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It’s a 1/2" piece of resistance wire that has AC (alternating current) running through it, that changes direction 60 x a second, or 50 x where I live, it’s all BS.Cheers George | |

Connect it direct into a poweramp using the digital domain volume control that’s in it, and forget about a preamp.Random ticks c... | |

| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy Actually no. It **might**. Any loudspeaker can be overdamped- IOWAtmasphere is correct in this regard. An example was the Linn Isobarics and the Sara which were voice to have great bass with Naim amps of the day, that had 20 damping factor. When a... | |
