| Upgrading Cary CAD 300sei integrated I agree with Jrin..dnet. The cost of mods can be prohibitive. IMHO you are considering taking the heart and soul of this amp and by changing the the Trannies. I can't imagine that such a major mod would sell well unless someone really just wants t... | |
| budget speakers for Musical Fidelity A300 ? Agree that you should look at monitors and do your homework/Leg work. Try to listen to as many speakers as possible there are some giant killers in your price range that may be just what your like. | |
| Jolida jd 100 owners I took them off with know ill effects. The JD 100 didn't seem to have a major effect on the tubes as they tested new after years of use. (NOS Mullards instead of the stock) Never thought to use dampers. | |
| Scott 222 B tube amp Probably not the best possible way to start tube audio. My reason is that despite the likely low usage the amp will need to be recapped and some tubes may be less than optimal. Unless you are willing and have a good tech familiar with vintage tube... | |
| Help with hum Removing the preamp stops the hum. All of your circuit design issues regarding grounding and loops are not to be ignored. However as an owner of a couple of tube pres including a Cary Low end brand. I can tell you that a bad tube can cause a numbe... | |
| JM Reynaud Twin Signatures vs. Bliss/Silver You seem to want a more analytical speaker than JM Reynaud is frequently described as. Please note I am not making any value judgement about JM Reynaud -they have been a very successful speaker company and have many devotees. This is simply a matt... | |
| Fairly cheap SS preamp with a good phono preamp? No- I would try the Cary first before you throw in the towel. | |
| good non-ARC linestage for ARC VT-100 MK2/VS-100 Although I haven't tried this or know anyone who has. I use an AES by Cary a great uncomplicated tube pre. Exactly how it mates with an ARC amp is what I don't know. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-9se Are you jesting?? | |
| How far apart JBL L250Ti? According to the well regarded Caras Triangle the distance between your speakers should be about 8-9 feet. Then you make some toe in adjustments but this is a ngood start. | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Every performer is different, there can never be another Sinatra. It did seem he struggled a bit playing and singing. As many have said give him time to mature, then judge him. | |
| need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24... Strong second for the Graham Slee Amp 2! | |
| Have you become too jaded with this hobby??? Yes of course it is about the music BUT also this hobby is about the tools used to reproduce the music to our liking. There is no need to place value statements on people who like the equipment and the music. This is not afterall a musical appreci... | |
| Used Classe cav 150 or new emotiva xpa 5 ? The critical opinion in this case, is clearly yours. Which one sounds better to you? That is the one you should buy. With the usual caveats etc. etc. | |
| Budget receiver/integrated amp for Cornwall III's? I agree with Elevick in terms of the treble and mids but not in the bass.If you can Stretch the budget a bit I found fantastic synergy with a McIntosh 2505 power amp with gain control so can be used as a single input int. amp . A 2505 happens to b... |
