| Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps? I don't think they just kill off amps on a regular basis. The v-12 went through three iterations: v-12; v-12.I and v-12R. If I'm not mistaken, the v-12 in its various forms was in production for over ten years. I believe the CAD120 is doing the sa... | |
| Tube Rolling -Input vs. Output tubes Well, whatever it is, I certainly can't complain. In fact I went back and got two more pairs. | |
| Strange Klipsch thing I should clarify. They weren't exactly my cup of tea, but i can understand why someone might like them. The width and height presentation was bloody huge. I'm just wondering if this is the "house sound" or if anyone who uses them in their home exp... | |
| S/Pdif vs. Toslink @ Loomis - I needed the V-Link because the CDP only has Tos or P/Dif digital inputs - no direct interface for the USB output from my computer. I'm told you can use the audio output on the laptop, but then you're using the laptop as a DAC and the q... | |
| What do I need? Just to follow up, I went with a Musical Fidelity V-Link using a toslink connection to my CDP. Stupidly easy to use and it actually sounds pretty good with some music I'd uploaded from the original CDs into Apple lossless. The Lossless files are a... | |

| Best of the new jazz 45rpm reissues The Acoustic Sounds Blue Trane is exceptional. One of the best RVG recordings of the era. | |

| Spendor A9 : Your first impressions Anyone go from the old S8e model to the A9? I'm curious how they'd compare. I've had the S8e's for about six years, and they're the only thing in my system that I haven't felt compelled to replace. | |
| Spendor S8e Amp Suggestions. ...and it drives the crap out of the bass, even in triode. | |
| Stupid question If it starts smoking you have it backwards, or there may be some other problem. | |
| What the heck is bias anyway? Well, whatever the hell it is, it sounds really nice!Thanks for the answers and food fight! :-) |
