| PS audio power condtioners....fan noise? Purchased two P500's this year. One had a noisy fan, but PS Audio replaced the fan in its repair facility at no cost to me. Now both units are quiet. The units are rated 300 watts continuous and 500 watts peak power. Since mine run circa 230 watts... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 v. tubed CD players I love my Cary 303/300, but it's not warm by any means. Formerly, I used an AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with upsampling, and it can be warm depending on the tubes one uses. Also, I understand the Cary 308T is warm, but I haven't owned it.Jay | |
| Please educate me on tubes Vman71:There are some trustworthy private tube dealers on Audiogon, but eBay is more risky. Look at the seller's feedback. The crooks get weeded out of Audiogon, and regularly change user ID's to regain anonymity. Also, I've found that good retail... | |

| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? Bad CD's sound worse on good equipment. For example, I made the mistake of buying a few Laserlight releases on sale from Tower Records. They sounded bad in my car, but really attrocious in my music room. I ended up throwing them in the garbage.Jay | |
| I fell victim to a scam It's extremely satisfying to track down a crook and put him behind bars. With much good luck, I found the guy who stole my car in 1978. I saw him attempting to steal another car, and ran several blocks to alert two policemen who were directing tra... | |

| Best CD player now made. Cary 303/300 upgraded with RCA 12bh7A gray plates. Haven't heard the Cary 306 SACD, but 303/300 is unbeatable, if you're talking redbook only.Jay | |

| Stuck: 20-bit/96kHz or 24-bit/96kHz DAC? Recommend not going 20-bit/96kHz. The CAL CL-20 is just O.K. compared to other affordable CDP's. A 24-bit tubed output stage can approach turntable/vinyl sound when tweaked with the right tubes for your system. Be patient and buy something you'll ... | |
| Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player Some people say that the redbook layer on dual-layer SACD's is inferior to standard redbook. The claim is that the industry does this to make listeners unhappy with redbook. I don't own a SACD and so haven't been able to verify this. But I steer c... |
