| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp if it is a blown cap, why would the amp still play and sound fine? Sorry, OP; I don't know enough about electrical theory and function to answer that--I only know how to change parts assuming I can identify the correct ones. I will say that I ... | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. somebody got them for $1,550. the others are in better condition, and is the warranty transferrable? @elliottbnewcombjr , yes, I was watching as the final bidding went down. I went to stereophile on line to compare the Nautilus to the earlie... | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp Let caps drain for a few minutes after you unplug the amp but before you open it. Actually, what the tech from Cary Audio told me many moons ago was that the caps would discharge faster if you left it plugged in (for a while) after you turned i... | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. @elliottbnewcombjr , here is another pair of B&W 805Ns on ebay; the high bid is $980 right now & bidding ends in about 3 hours: https://www.ebay.com/itm/355577713297 | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Why is Sgt. Pepper rated ahead of Abbey Road? I never understood it. Check with Maxwell Edison on that. | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue I’d love to hear a Taylor Swift covering Joni Mitchell album! Those two bimbos rock! You know, as much as they can for being women... . . . come to think of it, I do have the Diana Krall Live In Paris SACD with a cover of "A Case Of You" that... | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. . . . for more on the triode versus ultralinear subject, I did a search on this site (using that as a search engine). The results were like every other audio subject/debate here: no 100% consensus. As I typed previously, it’s easy to go back &... | |

| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. I don’t have the Cary yet, maybe Monday. Current speakers are Magnepan 3.7i with a Hegel H390 integrated. I'll try the Cary, but I'm afraid it won't be up to the task. 86db/4 ohms? Maybe not, but still, in push-pull 40 wpc triode, I do not t... | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. OP: what are your current speakers, and how is your Cary integrated doing with them? | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp . . . well, if it is a cap, you could probably replace it yourself, and it probably wouldn't be a real hard DIY. You could get an affordable cap checker on Amazon and then you could take the bottom (or top) off of your unit and check all the caps... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Eva Cassidy or Jennifer Warnes have the ability to tug at my soul far more than any male vocalists. @llg98ljk , those are some of my favorites. I just recently got an old copy of Emmylou Live At The Ryman for her ... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue And in terms of the stupid back and forth happening on this thread, how about ignoring a comment made that’s not directly answering the OPs post? You’re no bigger responding to an unrelated comment with an unrelated answer, you’re contributing to... | |
| Are You a Swifty? He does a great cover of Folsom Prison Blues--I saw it/heard it on youtube not too long ago. | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue I have more CDs and SACDs with female vocalists and groups featuring female vocalists than I do of male vocalists and groups featuring male vocalists. (As a matter of fact, I have one double SACD titled "The Wonderful Sound Of Female Vocalists.") ... |
