| cary 306sacd breakin I got mine used last year. Previous owner estimated he had about 150 hrs on it. It has sounded great from the very beginning and now has well over 500 hrs playing time in my system. I heard no substantive changes in its sound right from the beginn... | |
| State of HDCD and SACD I've glanced through the discussions on this thread and haven't seen anyone mention what I think is the best solution: The Cary 306 CD/SACD/HDCD player. It does all of those formats with excellence and you can usually find one used for just above ... | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs I am a current Vandy 3A Sig owner and a former Thiel 03A owner (years ago). There is a world of difference between the Thiel sound and the Vandy sound. I find the Vandy's to be much closer to providing natural intrumental timbres than the Thiel's ... | |

I checked this beforehand with Cary (Dennis himself) and he said no problem. Well, it was a problem so I don't do that anymo... | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? I have a mint condition pair of Electrovoice Patrician 800's - the ones with the 30 inch woofers and 103 dB sensitivity circa late 60's vintage. Unfortunately, they are way to big to get to my downstairs music room (~300 lbs each and very large) s... | |
| Van L Speakerworks Quartet Van is just now introducing a new speaker. I've heard a nearly finished prototype some weeks ago. It was quite nice. By all means, check out his shop and have a listen. | |
| musicality vs. accuracy In my book, musicality and accuracy are two sides of the same coin. If a piece of audio gear is "accurate" by my definition that means it renders instruments/voices as they are - i.e. musically. The concepts cannot - should not - be divorced. Of c... |
