| Cary CD-306 upgrade I am by no means an expert on Cary gear but I have been a happy owner of a CD306 SACD since July of 2006. My player experienced a few hiccups during that time (an occasional skip or no disk error) and Cary and my dealer Upscale Audio were wonderfu... | |
| Which CD Players? Dave,Call Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio and ask him. Nobody knows tubes better than he does and he has both new and used Carys referred to above. I have had a 308, a 306/200, a 303/300 and currently use a a Cary 306 SACD. I have not heard the Rayson... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? I sometimes get a bit amused at all of our "opinions" and how it may or may not affect a buying decision by someone reading here. But here goes!In the past year, in my home I have extensively demoed/owned the following speakers: Wilson Benesch Arc... | |
| A couple of live shows that deserve mention YMMV means your mileage may vary......meaning you may not experience what I do....simply a disclaimer. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? hey Katz, you might try calling AZ and they will likely find an option for you...a dealer or an end user who would let you listen. By the way, I have heard the "new" adagio and they are indeed even better than the originals without the slanted baf... | |
| great and small bookshelf speaker- The smaller Amphions sound REALLY good...of course Tyler Acoustics makes some small speakers that are wonderful as well. Good luck. | |
| Troubles w/ Cary 306 SACD cutting off discs at end Call Cary, they will take care of you as they fixed this a long time ago. The problem is that Cary followed the Redbook standard when they wrote their code and they discovered that most CD manufacturers have invalid data in the table of contents o... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? I believe the cabinents are sourced from China. The reason I say this is because my dealer and I were talking about the "new" Adagio model and he called AZ to inquire when they would be ready. AZ informed him that they had a container in port wait... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? I have not heard them with the Red Dragons. The amplification I tested with was Cary and McIntosh. The Cary sounded great, the Mac had a death grip on bass control so it stayed.As to the Kef reference, I mean no offense but I believe the Adagios s... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Chip Stern just posted his review of the Adagios on 6moons and they received a Blue Moon award. I know these awards are subjective as heck but every "award winner" on that site that I have experienced is spot on. I like the Zu line of speakers and... | |
| Is the Cary CD306 & CD300/303 better Dear Bawlpipe,No offense is intended at any step of this narrative, so please take it in the spirit it is intended.I will go in reverse order of Cary products as I believe I have a good feel on the Cary gear vs. Ah! Tjoeb. The Tjoeb is a tremendou... | |
| Advice: My first SACD? I'm not a country music guy but there is an Allison Krauss and Union Station Live album that is kind of chilling. Dianna Krall The Look of Love is pretty decent but take note of what I am about to say as I have a 306SACD too. Go through your cds a... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? Bartok, I should've known it would be you who would cut and paste your Danish national pride. The Seas are excellent drivers and no one will dispute that. Implementation and crossovers are the only complaint I have ever heard anyone make regarding... | |
| Fault in Complete Live at Village Vanguard 1961 CD It is not a flaw in the cd it was a flaw "WHILE RECORDING in 1961". I believe if you read the liner notes/booklet it covers it. That's why that track did not make it to album. Peace. | |
| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? I've had 5 pretty good integrateds over the past 5+ years (in order Unison Unico, Cary SlI-80 Sig, BAT VK300XSE, Cary SLI-80 Sig F1 and presently a Mac MA2275) and heard a few more (Rowland Concentra, MF, Cary 300SEI, Levinson 383 and a few others... |
