| AES/Cary SixPacs - up grade tubes? i'm using eh kt-88 and 6sn7 in my cary slm-200. i really enjoy the sound. i've heard that the sed winged c is the best current el34 out there. not my opinion, just second hand info. | |
| Speaker recommendations for AES Six Pacs i demoed the aes sixpacs with my gershman acoustics avant garde rx-20. i loved the sound, but the amps just couldn't deliver the punch i wanted. if you really love your speakers i would suggest moving up to a higher powered tube amp to get the pun... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century dilly:from what i understand, the sylvania 6F6G (non-metal base) is the best to use if you're going to go with a 6F6. i ordered my chardonnay a while back based upon the rave and praise it was receiving in this thread. the way i see it, if i don't... | |
| Help with Adire Rava - Frustrated as a last resort, take the sub driver out and make sure the amp is actually connected to the sub. outside of the amp being faulty, i cannot fathom why this does not work given the information you've provided. | |
| Help with Adire Rava - Frustrated sounds odd to me. you made no mention of it, but i can only presume you made sure the volume was turned up and the sub was set to on or auto. try changing the input the sub cable goes into if you haven't already. also, try a difficult wall outlet.... | |
| how good are burnt dvd's? you have to consider the individual movie per se. there are programs available for dvd ripping (ie...dvd shrink, dvd decrypter, and so on). that being said, the majority of major releases are on dvd-9 dics. however, dvd-r are a dvd-5. the differen... | |
| High End Audio Dealers drive to south beach sound and cinema in florence, alabama. i think they're still in business. they deal mcintosh, cary, linn, soliloquy, nordost, salamander, rega, and maybe a few other brands. whateve you do, don't drive down here to mobile. | |
| Best DAC b/w my Marantz DV-8400 and Cary sli-80 if you're asking what the best dac between your marantz and cary, i'm going to definitely say it's your marantz as the cary has no dacs. all cary amps that i've ever encountered are point to point wired. no circuit boards at all. | |
| high quality transports i'm partial to my 47 labs shigaraki 4716 transport. you can purchase them new for about $1800 from audioodyssey.com if i recall correctly. i am in no way affiliated with this seller.kevin t | |
| What's your profession? Age? i'm a 27 year old social worker and currently working on my master's degree. my two channel system retail is about $20k. add another $6k for the integrated home theater. | |
| How much does your system retail for? 2 channel system MSRP - $21k / add another $6k for the intergrated HT system. i have my system listed here on audiogon if you desire to have a look see. | |
| Receiver for pre/pro? in my experience, adding an amp to a receiver setup helps to increase dynamics and bass response. i can't speak for nad, but the majority of receivers are lacking when it comes to power. i think a pass amp would provide much more enjoyment for two... | |
| Tube Amps Cary V-12 or Rougue 150 mono's i can't speak for the v12 monos, but i own a pair of cary audio slm-200 monos and i don't think i'll be upgrading anytime soon. the amps sound so great to me. wonderful extension, delicate highs, and a lush midrange. i've never heard anything by r... | |
| Problem with Supratek Preamp or Musetax Bidat DAC? i would run a set of analog cables from your cd / dvd player direct into the supratek. if you get no sound, then the supratek may be to blame. also, check to make sure you don't have your tape monitor switch in the wrong position. i've read of oth... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century slowhand:i've exchanged a few emails with mick regarding the dac he is working on. price point he had in mind was about $500 max which is an excellent price if it's up to the level of his preamps. he didn't mention it being tubed though he did rel... |
