| Best redbook player for under $1000 Another choice would be the Cary 303-100. A very good player and musical. | |
| Your pick of CD player.... Just got my Sony 999es back from Dan from Modwright. I did own a Cary 303-100 previously and this player is better. Not fully broken in yet. Already the slight digital etch I had with the Cary is now gone with the Modwright and the soundstage is m... | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs Hello, I don't have the micro utopia Be's but am using the older mini utopia's with the REL Stadium III sub. I have found off axis listening to be very good and in geneal I don't find the speakers to be fussy about set-up. Blending the sub with th... | |
| Oddball question, hooking up REL Storm III Subwoof You cannot connect your sub until you get a Neutrik Speakon cable. When connected to the sub you "high level" controls will be used for adjustments. The cable connects to the same terminals as your main speakers on the amp in the following fashion... | |
| Advice needed please. I had the Cary 303/100 for a few years. I just sold it for the Sony 999ES player which I am going to send to Dan Wright for the full mod. In it's raw form the Sony doesn't sound too bad but not like my Cary. In the modded form I'm expecting great ... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor Let's face it most (not all) women just don't get the audio thing. My wife just thinks I'm half nuts when I get the upgrade bug. I try tp make sound, thoughtful purchases that don't waste money by usually buying used equipment. We have had some in... | |
| Do you get Ringing in the Ears from your hi-fi? It's a real bummer to get tinnitus. One day I had perfect hearing....the next tinnitus. I don't know what caused it..too many concerts or? I do know that it makes being an audiophile very difficult since you can get distortions during playback. No... | |
| What are the best CD Player around $3500? Hmmm an interesting question. Having owned McIntosh equipment and a current owner of JM Labs speakers (Mini Utopias) I would suspect that your sound is touch lean. I'm a big fan of the Cary line. I had the 303-100 and it was an excellent player in... | |
| Final ditch effort to improve my sound. Pls. help Borrow a high end source from a local audio retailer to determine if the source is the problem or the room. I have speakers in the same family the JM Labs mini utopias with a REL sub. I am using an older Cary 303-100 player and it's a good match. ... | |
| APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01? Modwright, Exemplar, APL? I'm thinking of upgrading to the modwright Sony 999es. On a dollar basis you can pick up the Sony for $500 and get the full mod from Dan for $2,100. I'm not interested in DVD-A so the Denon 3900 isn't a requirement (unles... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" There are a couple of CD's that I have been getting a lot of rotation time. Buddy Miller "Universal United House of Prayer" - not too preachy and a nice blend of country & blues/rock. Next up is Rusty Truck "Broken Promises" - It has that Bake... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? It's amazing how the good intentions of an individual can get twisted into something that turns ugly. We should all be thankful to Avguru for the quest....I know I am. Everybody relax, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? If it is a traditional box you can set a couple of mouse traps on top. the trick is set them upside down so when the cat jumps up on top of the amp they go off but they don't get caught in them. It should to the trick! | |
| KEF 104/2, 105/3, or 107/2? It's a difficult decision. I owned Kef 107's for about ten years. I don't want to burst your bubble but I think there a lot of speakers out there that will better the Kefs especially in the high end and midrange. Just my opinion but I am very fimi... | |
| Okay, I have a decision to make, please help. I would buy a used Cary 303 player. I listened to the Rega, Linn, Naim, Rotel, Meridian and just came back to this player. There is just something about the soundstage, and bass output and smoothness that I like. Just listen and that will be your ... |
