| Ortofon/Ear 834p The 834p has 68dB of gain and the Cary SLP 05 has 10dB of gain. The Cary is a great pre but a little lacking in the gain dept. Mark | |
| Ortofon/Ear 834p Ortofon Windfield sounds excellent through the Ear 834p. Took me a long time to set up but once it was done, the wow factor was there. I use the Mint Tractor to dial it in and results were great. The only downside is that to get good sound it take... | |
| Ortofon/Ear 834p Thanks for your responses guys. The only problem I am seeing with this match is that I can't dial in the impediance for best performance of this cart. Not sure what this might add if I could do that but it is a factor. What are your views? Thanks ... | |
| XM, DAC Question Thanks Mofimadness. Now, I am able to pull up XM on my laptop and listen. Would that output from my laptop also be analog? Maybe more than one way to skin a cat here. | |
| XM, DAC Question I just pulled out an old DBX111 that I used to use with my reel to reel. Hmmm, even if this is an analog signal. Might be interesting. | |
| XM, DAC Question It's a Delphi SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver. It does say the stations are digital but maybe the receiver changes it to analog. The manual says that 130 "Digital" channels are available. | |
| XM, DAC Question Mofimadness, Manual for the XM receiver says it is digital, am I missing something? I have before so wouldn't be unusual. | |

| Reel to Reel Restoration/Repair I also purchased a vintage Teac reel to reel that needed extensive repair and updating. After a lot of research I found a guy in Alamogordo, NM that I believed really new his stuff and prices seemed right so I shipped my reel to him. Long story sh... | |
| Where's the bass? I know, in my early days, I always looked for the boom but as I get older and look for a more refined sound, Timbre seems where it's at for me. | |
| MintLP/Dynavector 17D3 question I purchased a Bausch & Lomb head gear magnifier like the jewelers use and find it great for hands free, stylus set up with the mint tractor on my VPI. It scares the dog though!! I found it Googling magification on the web. | |
| Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go? I upgraded to the Cary 306SACD with an on board DAC and the sound is incredible. Now going through an amp review. I've got the Cary S120 but I'm reviewing a pair of Seymour Ice Blocks | |
| Ice Block Amps Neptunebchdawg, check out the ice blocks from Seymour AV. They sound great through my Cary tube Pre. He will let you audition for 30 days and if you don't like them, send them back. I was very surprised | |
| Ice Block Amps Good advice,I think sometimes a new sound is good just because it is different than what you are used to. Evaluate with time. | |
| Ice Block Amps I guess I'm outta tune with this latest tech. What exactly is ICE Power? |
