Anyone heard Cary 303/300 after 400 hours burn-in?
Steidlguitars;Thanks for the response. Radiotechniques work well with the unit. Great Northern Sound Company (GNSC) can make the unit totally incredible in the tube and solid state domains. Call Steve Huntley at GNSC 651-351-5355For Tubes call Jim... 
Audio Research LS 12 Preamp Characteristics?
BobgatesCongradulations on winning. I'd like to hear from others. 
Audio Research LS 12 Preamp Characteristics?
Bobgates, I can't think of anyone who would complain, especially if they were a hog in heaven.Now, exploring opinions of those with long term experience with the unit is another story. There was one person who never owned the piece and reported he... 
Audio Research LS 12 Preamp Characteristics?
It would be nice if you actually had one, thanks for your most unbiased response. 
Detroit, Michigan
I'd love to join if you can talk my wife into moving back from Tampa. My wife is an audiophile but less sick than me. She will not allow me to sell our Levinson 333.5.Our younger boy is a goalie in travel Ice Hockey. Our older boy is at USF jazz s... 
Anyone heard Clearaudio Maestro MM Wood Body???
I had the Virtuoso which killed the Grado Reference Master, now I have had the Maestro for 2 years. It is much better than the Virtusos Wood.In fact I dare anyone to find a better MM cartridge. I would be interested if there is such a cartridge. 
Hum/Buzz from Phono Gear -PS Audio 200 HB???
As it turned out, shielded phono cables killed the noise. 
Tubes and Rock and Roll, Can they go together?
I'm near you. I'm in ValricoTube front end and solid state amp is my current preference. 
Shortlist of best cartridges with VPI
Bob;I don't like to play games with people's heads, but I did own a Virtuos, and do own A Maestro Wood, and the midrange is just great. What ever is in the grooves will be reproduced. The Maestro Wood corrects the Virtuoso's flaws and adds improve... 
Phono Box Advice Needed
Did you ever buy a phono interface box? Did it improve the sound? I'm tying to kill a hum/shielding problem in a audiophile DIN-RCA phono cable. I'm hoping the box would kill the hum and not the sound.Jon 
Best cartridge under $450? No Grados please
Before I found out they could repair my bent Grado Reference Master, at no cost, I stupidly bought a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood. Now my Grado will make a great back up for the much more musical Virtuoso Wood. Get yourself a Woody for $499. It has be... 
Current Thiel and Aerial owners-- please comment..
First of all, I hope your relationship with your wife is solid, otherwise what's yours is hers. Mine is the Jazzmama on WMNF 88.5, she is picky about her music and how it sounds. She loves our Thiel 3.6 speakers aquired last year. The 3.6 offers g... 
ML 390s vs. ML39
The 390S upgrade gave us more. The word is more. The transparency is more. Drums are more hollow. Instruments are more real and natural. Voices are more real and life-like. I bought the 39 without audition. I upgraded without audition. Use the bal... 
DIGITAL UPGRADE DILEMMA
Get a used Levinson 39 Cd/Processor, then get the 390S upgrade. Use the balance outputs directly into the amp. Sell your preamp and utilize the state of the art analog volume control preamp section of the Levinson. Next smile, relax and continue t... 
MB Quart
I have two pair of Quart Separates powered by Macintosh in my Honda Civic. The system would be perfect if I could put it in my Leased Accord as the road noise kills a lot of the sound. It is a pro system. The home Quart is another story. I was a c...
