| 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... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? If you like your amp, try some Zu Druids...60 day money back guarantee. I have Acoustic Zen Adagios that do not ever seem to run out of steam however they are not as efficient as the Zu's. I will be getting some Druids soon for my 2nd system howev... | |

| Whats going on with Cary Audio's website Tboooe,I too moved from the 303-300 to the 306SACD. I would love to give you a glowing review right now (which is how it would be!) but I don't believe until I get 2-300 hours I should really comment, I don't have enough information.It just keeps ... | |
| Best sounding floor speaker for under $1500??? I'm not sure what you listen to or your associated equipment but here are a few generic values. I will only quote you used as you will experience so much more pleasure buying a well treated pre-owned speaker. Here we go based on what is for sale r... | |
| Whats going on with Cary Audio's website I just visited and accessed several areas on the site, just to make sure. The site is up and fine. www.caryaudio.comBy the way, I have owned a 306SACD for the past week and could not be happier, it is still breaking in and is stunning. Good luck.GH | |
| Which speaker binding posts? If you have spades, you gotta find the kind used on Zu speakers(I think they are Cardas). They are different than normal and tighten both posts with the simple turn of 1 wheel. Very cool! | |
| Best DAC w/ HDCD for under $1500 If you could stretch you budget a few hundred, a fun option might be a pre owned Cary 306-200 CD player. It will, no offense intended, outperform the cd section of your Musical Fidelity and has an awesome D/A converter (3 digital inputs). I had on... | |
| What bests the Consonance Droplet I've never heard a Cary 202 and was wondering what features it has...your likes, dislikes? Are you sure you have the correct model #?I have heard the Cary CD308, CD308T, CD303-200, CD306-200, CD303-300 and 306SACD....I have also heard a Cayin play... | |
| Integrated Amp with balanced XLR pre-amp out Balance Audio Technology VK 300X, Mark Levinson 383, you can order Cary integrateds with balanced..I'm sure there are others (T+A, McIntosh). | |
| High End Integrated Choices I have heard the Mac and until recently owned the Bat VK300XSE with 6h30 supertubes, remote and phono. I loved the Bat, the thing has power to burn, especially for your 805s speakers. The personality of the BAT tended toward the ever so slightly d... | |
| recording from itunes Absolutely! Itunes downloads are not the same, they are at a much lower sample rate/compression scheme. I don't remember but the difference is substantial. It is not apple lossless. I only use itunes downloads for meaningless, 1-off song purchases... | |
| Tube integrated for B&W 805N???? VAC Avatar has the bias meter built in and the adjustments on the front panel, so biasing is easy but not automatic. Might be the best compromise to maintain great sound. Disclosure, I have a Cary SLI-80 F1 and Zu speakers and it is outstanding, b... | |
| a simple yet stupid ? question Volume matters on amps..to some extent. Keep in mind, if there is no preamp volume then the amps are functionally receiving a nil signal. Just my opinion but I believe it matters on solid state moreso than tubes. |
