Classe CP-60 vs. CP-65
I don't know about it being a cost cutting move, it was in a way I guess. I had a couple of dealers tell me that the change was purely cosmetic. The CP-60 was availible in either Silver OR Black, the CP-65 was only availible in Silver AND Black. I... 
My SDS died??????
Rwd, That was my reco on 4-17-05. Unplugging the unit for a few minutes then plugging it back in. I've never had a problem with my SDS yet, but that's worked on computers, dvd players, tv's and cd players. As more computer software gets into our a...

Hi Jeff,Now I'm almost wishing I had tried that pair of tube amps I almost bought in January. They were a pair of Cary 572SE monoblocks that had the $1K upgrade to 300SE monoblocks, running 300B power tubes. The owner, who had the mod done, swore ...

Your BAT goes up to 140, I know, I've owned a 31SE and a 50SE. It shouldn't hurt the preamp to run the volume all the way up. These amps are not the best mates for your speakers. It's not the amps fault or the speakers fault, it's just a mismatch.... 
Do you remember your first cd?
Hey Kelly, I was thinking of putting in my first 45, but in my haste I forgot.96 Tears- by ? and the Mysterians, ca. 1966I don't still have that one, I wore that sucker out several decades ago.

Itsalldark, your Verity's are also an 8 ohm load though.That's a bit of an easier load for a tube amp, no?So your more powerful tube amp sounds good while driving an easier load. I know SET amps sound good, but speaker matching is very important.J... 
Do you remember your first cd?
Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms....still have it.Now, for us older folks, do you remember your first LP?Cream- Disraeli Gears.....still have it.

You let us know. I would tend to think that this would not be a good match, as SET amps don't like to see lower impedences like the Beethovens nominal 4 ohm load.I haven't owned the Beethoven Grands, but I did own the older Beethovens, and I curre... 
VA Beethovens upgrade to Strauss experience/advice
I owned the Beethovens for a couple years, and upgraded to the Strauss about two years ago. I considered the Mahler's but the dual 10 inch woofers over-powered my room. My room is similar in size to yours (24L X 14.5W X 8.5H).I think the Strauss w... 
My SDS died??????
Did you try unplugging it for a couple minutes and plugging it back in? It's never happened to me.

Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear
4yanx, I don't think it's the perception of the mods not being 'trustworthy' I think it has to do with the confusion over what exactly the mod entailed and what it cost to have the mod done. As you know there are many variations of mods. They chan... 
Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear
4yanx, I'm sure your McCormack sounds great. Aggielaw wasn't talking about the quality of the sound of the McCormack upgrade though. He was questioning re-sale value.FWIW, the seller of the RLD-1 is trying to recoup over 100% of his investment, th...
