| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? I tried my best to love the Thiel 3.7 and I have the uptmost respect for the designer. I found the speaker - when appropriately partnered - refined, neutral and to proffer excellent resolution. But, this speaker does not rock, not even when driven... | |
| Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps? Casouza - again I find myself in agreement with Dtc. "Two swallows does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy" as Aristotle once opined... The evidence of a... | |
| Are CD players dead Don't send the flowers just yet....People tend to see less value in non-physical items, like music downloads and I note with interest that since it emerged in the 1990's digital music has been hugely popular with fans, but for online music compani... | |
| Are there new players with HDCD? Cary Audio's models CD-500, CD-303T and CD-306 are all new and current models supporting HDCD. | |
| Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps? Yes Casouza - as Dtc asks, is there any substance to your claim on the SLP-05? As an owner of the product and being in frequent dialog with other owners of this product - I've not experienced or heard of SLP-05 rectifier tube failure. | |
| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? I have had a very good experience with GIK Tri-traps in my room and they are quite cost effective to boot. | |
| Which amp for Cary SLP 05 Hi Littleleo,I realize this reply may come as too late but I'd thought I'd pen it anyway.I own the Cary SLP-05 pre-amp and I think the world of it. I have owned the CAD 120S and thought the pairing was just so-so. More recently I have tried a numb... | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 Hi Jtran. How does the sound with Psvane 6SN7 compare to the stock EH tubes?I have tried a couple of different tube sets including RCA NOS GTB's but I keep coming back to the stock tubes which seem to provide more air and dynamics. | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please Oh, and one other observation before I shut up, the designer believes these speakers don't need toe in due to the wide dispersion characteristics of the tweeter. In the context of my system and room I most respectively disagree. Some toe in furthe... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please I now have a pair of Nola Contenders on audition. I need to be patient as they break in. My very initial observation however was one of surprise at how low the bass can go. Seems Nola was not exaggerating about the "usable response to 25Hz."! | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Good Post Pubul57. | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Reviews are like drugs. You know that they are no good for you but you read them anyway....The 3.7 is an interesting speaker. Listening to one the other day I was very pleased with the soundstage, localisation and resolution of the reproduction. I... | |
| From Pipedream to MBL 101e, any thought? Lrsky [...]The MBL's are terrific speakers and the Levinson will do fine with them. The question is, is that amp as good as the MBL?While I haven't done an A/B/A comparison, I'd have to say no. But, as good as, is not as important as, will it wor... | |
| Speaker question for RMAF attendees 07-20-11: ReverendoI'd love to get more info on the X-Monitors from Raidho. Can anyone tell me if good quality 100W would be able to drive them (I'm talking Gryphon here)? ATM I have the KEF Reference 201/2, but am very curious about these speake... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please Hi Bstefano,Congratulations on the purchase. It would be something special indeed if the Contenders could fill the shoes of the Focal's. I have already listened to the Contenders once but they were not fully broken in and the bass was not as exten... |
