| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T It arrived back to the vendor, the pre tubes where malfunctioning, he replaced them with premium units, says the amplifier sounds great now, wants to ship it back...No thanks, I have no warranty it wont happen again, and it costs almost 200 euros ... | |
| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T Tubes are not for me, no patience for HUMMM, and THUMP, and adjusting bias, and not so good sound, so it is packed and will be returned today... | |
| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T I always read that amplifiers shouldnt be connected to mains filters, but, as the Cayin only uses 280 watts, I connected it to my ESE labs Balanced isolation transformer...Well, it did almost the same it did to the TEAC, smoother highs, more body,... | |
| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T I switched the pre-amp tubes, left with right, to check if it was a bad tube, so far no more THUMPs or HUMMM, knock on wood... | |
| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T A Tripath TEAC sounds very good with my 96 db speakers, better than the Cayin so far...I changed to the 8 ohm terminals, and the sound improved a lot, still a bit bright with some recordings, but acceptable now...I guess some more playing will mak... | |
| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T I just got one Cayin A-88T, unbelievably it sounds a bit harsh compared with my TEAC DR-L700, a tube amp !!!Should I use supports with it, or is it unecessary ? | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 Room EQ. You cannot properly equalize your room as it is a third of octave band eq, you need finner tunning for room eq...You can correct bad recordings or adjust slightly the system´s response, thats all... | |
| Bryston owners: What speakers are you using? I guess the first line got lost somehow ???Sonus Faber EAII... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A Sorry to barge in like this, but Serblin did use a pair of Krell 300CX, or something like this, to introduce its flagship speakers, the Stradivarius...I use EAII with Bryston power and Krell Showcase, great lively sound... :) | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? Besides the pre and the DACs, you also get bass management wich will allow you a lot more flexibility on speaker choice and room placement...Plus EQ in most nowadays, useful if you have a bad room... | |

| Leaving HT for 2 channel-Good or Not? I am 100% with RAMYThe other day the woofer of one of my surround speakers blew, believe me, something important was missing from even CDs, (I use DPLII always), with stereo it just doesn´t feel like being in the room with the musicians, dull...Of... | |
| Plasma TVs and center channel speakers I will have the same problem when I get a plasma, hopefully soon...But as I found out the center sounds much better bellow the screen, sound comes from it, instead of from the ceiling, I will get a floor stand for the plasma, place it behind the r... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup I´ve had the next door neighbour knocking on my door because there was a war going on his living room, I was watching Saving Private Ryan... ;)Any way, what I really love to listen to properly is music, and I hear mainly the great sound tracks on ... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup Well, I dont think two REL Strata III, (they are closed boxes, so should have a reasonable Q, tightness), in a not too large golden ratio room, 15 x 24 x 9, are what you call inadequate subwoofers... |
