I second what Psacanli said. This is a very helpful thread.Thanks Rives. 
Rives PARC parametric equalizer
Doing what Dotsystem does, i.e., "The preamp signal sent for the midrange and treble amp does not pass through the PARC" would cause a time-delay in the bass section, wouldn't it? How can a person compensate? Please advise... 
Cary amp fuse blowing 1 advice 2 Bay Area fix?
I wouldn't start rolling fuses. Did you check the bias? When doing so, you have to go back-and-forth between the left and right bias pots until both sides are stable at the recommended bias. At the same time, check for power tubes with glowing pla...

Wavac MD 300B Monoblocks
Brian:Before spending that kind of money on a Wavac, suggest you look at Wavelentgth Cardinal X2 monoblocks which are similarly priced. They have a plain look, but the best internals. Wavac externals are glitzy, but why pay for that?

6SN7 & 6CA4 Tube Recommendations for Cary AE-3 DJH
It depends on the rest of your system, and on what sound you want to get. 
Anti-cables alternatives
What size wire is used in the anti-cable IC? What is the geometry? 
Large room but not large budget-suggestions please
Buy a used pair of Infinity Intermezzo 2.6 active speakers, with powered subwoofers and RABOS room equalizer onboard. These were Stereophile Class 'A' and will fill rooms twice the size of yours. NOTE: you don't want the passive version. Later whe... 
Anyone heard Salk Veracity HT3 speakers?
Yes, I've heard HT3s a half dozen times in the homes of several knowledgeable audiophiles who own them.They're exceptionally good speakers, and I highly recommend them. Bass is deep and tuneful, imgaging is awesome and highs sparkle. Also, the woo...
