| Cary SLI-80 capacitor problem questions Thanks for the update. I'm glad that everything worked out for you. Now you can enjoy your "new" amp all over again!! | |
| FOCAL ELECTRA 1037BE OR B&W 802D? +1 Chuck! | |
| Bi wiring with separate cables Assuming that you believe bi-wiring makes a difference, yes, it does make sense to try using external bi-wiring, since your components offer that option. | |
| Boarding school or duct tape? I always preferred duct tape myself. LOL!Actually, my experiences with my three grown sons reflects those shared by Mofimadness and Vegasears. I have to pass most of the credit for that along to my wife though. She stayed home with them and did a ... | |
| What is going on Phd, I'm not advocating for highball sellers, anymore than I would support lowball buyers. Yes, any seller can ask any price, it does not mean it will sell, just as any buyer can offer any price, it does not mean they will buy. It's all about how ... | |
| Integrated Amp w/ Home Theater Bypass around $6k If you'd consider a hybrid amp, a BAT VK-300xSE should probably fit the bill pretty well. 150 wpc, and any input can be set for unity gain. | |
| The one that got away- Ever regret not buying something? NO! LOL! I've bought waaaay too much stuff over the years as it is. I regret buying quite a few things. I can't think of anything I regret NOT buying. | |
| stylus question Clean the stylus good with Magic Eraser as Elizabeth suggests. If that does not help, check all setup and alignment guides again, make sure your VTF, VTA are correct, etc. If the problem persists, then it is possible that your stylus and/or suspen... | |
| Speakers First? I know buying speakers first is the old school mantra, and that the amp/speaker combination is the most important thing of all. However, I would not say that finding speakers for a particular amp is crazy backwards, as Elizabeth seems to think. Sh... | |
| Speaker cables I agree with the above posters, make sure that you are buying authentic cables, lots of fakes out there.That being said, I'd also send another warning, this one about the Nordost brightness that you noted. This does not seem to be something that o... | |
| What is going on So what Phd? Sure, there are high ball sellers and low ball buyers. That is not just Audiogon, or this hobby, that is life in general. The seller is allowed to ask whatever they want, and a buyer is free to offer whatever they choose. I guess ther... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? To all of those who are saying that their tube preamp is dead quiet, remember, we are not talking about normal use here. The OP is talking about his tube phono stage/line stage preamp, no signal, volume turned up, ear right next to the tweeter. In... | |
| Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber I owned a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Encores for many years, great speakers! In fact, I upgraded to the Parsifal's from VA Beethoven's and Strauss'. Any chance you can go and listen to the Parsifal's? I have not heard the Klipsch Palldiums. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers 03-14-14: Markus1299Jmcgrogan2, I very much agree with you about Cary not being the same after Dennis Had moved on. Think we could talk him into returning??A more realistic possibility is just moving on to Dennis' new Inspire gear. You'll see that... | |
| Looking for "realistic" speakers I agree with Peter, I also think these should be repairable, especially seeing how you liked them so much. There could be some damaged components in the crossover as well though. If you are not comfortable doing the work yourself, there are compan... |
