| Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables Solowski I agree with your findings on the MPC's but I think you will be surprised if you try one of the Synergistic Research Transporters for cable shielding. I am a little surprised that the dealer you went to did not suggest this. I sold all my... | |
| SRV Instrumental tracks and similar artists Try the Eric Steckel band & Johnny A | |
| PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines I have CARY gear and I tried the BDA 1 & I liked it but the PS Audio MK I was better & the Mk II is quite a bit better. I did not try the BDA II because it was not available at the time but I don't think you can go wrong with either DAC. T... | |
| Suggestions For A Good USB Digital Cable I tried all the top of the line from Audioquest,Cardas, Wireworld & Synergistic Research. The Wireworld that all the critics love was not a match in my system, the less expensive Cardas was better. The Audioquest was very good but I felt that ... | |
| 845 Dilema I am running a pair of the Cary 845AE and I did have the Shuguang 845B tubes in them & they were better then what the amps came with. I recently replaced them with the Shuguang Nature Series 845 which I purchased on Ebay and they surprised me ... | |
| SDS or phono stage I had a Scoutmaster(very nice table for the money) & I did not realize the speed was spot on until I purchased the SDS. I should have purchased a strobe first and saved my money. I am now using a rim drive HRX and the turntable would be useles... | |
| Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables I just borrowed a pair of the XOT's from the Cable Company.I was already using a pair of the Stein Music speaker match pluses(SMP's) so I was able to compare them. I have electrostats that are set up for bi-wiring and I had the Stein Music SMP's o... | |
| Beatles Tribute Tv special.... My wife who I cannot get to listen to my wonderful stereo asked me to tune this in for her. I was 15 when I watched the first Ed Sullivan show with the Beatles & I will never forget it. I really liked the tribute show as it did not get too sac... | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 For those of you who wish to stay with the 6SN& tubes, the two I found were the best were Sylvanias made for the US Navy during WW2 ,they had a metal base & some also had an anchor printed on them. Very close were the Russians Melz 6N8S/15... | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 Dave: There is no way to tell if the adapters degrade the sound because you can't use the tubes without them. But I tried all the best 6SN&'s & in my system the 6f8g's with adapters won hands down. The one thing that can cause an issue is ... | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 I went through pretty much the same process & ended up selling a box of approximately 80 of the 6SN7 tubes on Audiogon.I now use 6F8G tubes except for the prime position which is the pair to the left of the headphone tubes where I installed a ... | |
| Borrow 845 Tubes in ATL if nobody from the Atlantic area comes through for you let me know. I have 4 of the original 845 tubes that came with my Cary 211AE amps gathering dust. I will send them to you for the cost of postage and positive feedback. You can have 2 or all 4. | |
| What happens when a tube amp fails? First of all relax & enjoy your amp. Properly biased your tubes should last a long time. If one of your power tubes goes you will blow a fuse. You will not have a fire. I have a Yaqin intergrated MC-10T amp in one of my systems and it has run ... | |
| Synergistic Research Element Copper vs Tungsten I have yet to try the speaker cables but I tried and purchased the interconnects. To be candid the copper ic's did not impress me. The tungsten were another story however. They are sound staging champs. They give you excellent detail and highs,low... | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII and PWT for $3995. Good deal? I own the PWD II dac. I auditioned it against the Bryston BDA 1 & liked it better. I no longer use a CD player. I run everything through my laptop which is a Toshiba with a 520SSD drive, 16 GB ram, Pentium 7 chip & Windows 7. Software is J... |
