| Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen Any updates Steve? | |
| Question about shipping damage First of all, in regards to your original post, NEVER have the amp sent back, as that will void any insurance that you purchased. Always contact the shipping agent and they will send out their inspector to investigate and pick up the damaged item.... | |
| Why speaker lines come and go Well obviously there is no one particular reason for a company to go under. This is a boutique hobby, and many manufacturers are started by one man operations on limited budgets. So many things must go right for a company to grow and prosper with ... | |
| Wood armwand vs Metal armwand I think if two were to duel with these weapons, the metal arm would be less likely to break. | |
| Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp How much power does he need to listen at "very low volume levels"? According to Dynaudio, his Contour 2.8's put out 87 dB with 1 watt of input. I'm assuming that he won't even be using 1 watt, since I do not consider 87 dB to be very low listening... | |
| CARY CAD120s clipping? 01-31-14: JakecanadaWell I believe in the quality of each watt over power of more watts.Very true. As Nelson Pass once said "If the first watt doesn't sound good, who wants 200 more watts?" | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? Al summed it up perfectly.....again. Good work Al! | |
| Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp If you listen at "very low volume" levels, you should be fine. | |
| CARY CAD120s clipping? 01-31-14: BrfA fully tricked out Cary SLI-98P F1, MC, DC is extremely desirable. That is exactly what I am running. I'm using a Dynavector XX2 mk II cartridge, 0.28 mV output, and there is plenty of gain. | |
| Best Phono amp under $2000. Vortex and Dazzlingmd, isn't the Allnic H1201 a tube phono stage? Zeal clearly stated in his original post that he was looking for a solid state phono preamp. I have not heard the Allnic, and I'm sure it is very good, but I did not recommend the H... | |
| CARY CAD120s clipping? 01-30-14: Polk432If any one has the SLP98P and no tube amp the CAD120's will make you happy you bought it. Mono's may be better but maybe not always.Thanks, that may help steer me towards the 120S. Have you tried any other tube amps with your 98P?... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? 01-30-14: PackOK, I guess you guys think with your audio hearts and thats OK,after all if one thinks its true then in his ears it may be so. By the same thought process, if you think something is not audible, then you won't hear a difference.But i... | |
| Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII Yeah, I have never heard of the Classe DR-5 being described as bright either. I have even more difficulty imagine that the DR-5 is bright with a Jeff Rowland Model One amplifier. That is surprising, but I do believe you. If you are committed to a ... | |

| Best Phono amp under $2000. I'll jump in here and beat Peter to the punch by recommending his Liberty Audio B2B-1 phono preamp. Mikey seemed to like it quite a bit. |
