| Is SACD a dead format? Never bought a SACD player, DVD-A player, nor any software in either format. Never will. Like Plinko, I'm happy with my Njoe Tjoeb. I'll trade my BetaMax for your redbook CD's. Wanna? Wanna? Please... | |
| Cary SLI-80 Tube amp suddenly blowing fuses Jason:Which power tubes are you using? The fuse blew on my SLI-80 once due to a bad tube. What's the bias value? BTW: There's no resting state for a tube amp. Once warmed up, mine draws a steady 215 watts whether playing or idling. It's called a r... |
