| Upgrade Options for BPT Pure Power Center The upgrades and the different BPT products can be seen here:http://www.b-p-t.com/upgrades.shtml | |
| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? I have used all but the GP, and my opinion would be in most sytems the GR IC's and the GC speaker cables hit the sweet spot. They sound good, but I currently use all Purist wire if that tells you anything. | |
| Upgrade Options for BPT Pure Power Center After looking at your system, I would suggest you may want to reconsider and go for the CPC or one of the BP units. I recently purchased a CPC that has most of the offered upgrades including a 300VA LoNo balanced isolation transformer for 2.5 amps... | |
| Conditioner for Cary MB500 Monoblocks Hi Rich, I am late to this party, but thought I would add that I too run Aerial 9's with Cary 500MB's. I am currently running mine single ended with a Lector CDP7 TL MkIII and Lamm LL2. I just picked up a loaded BPT CPC that has a 30-amp high curr... | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... You ever hear the story about the frog and the scorpion - same thing, except he's a salesman....don't take it personal, just play the game.Response #1 - "lets get the turntable fixed first, then we can talk about some of your ideas for changes to ... | |
| Calypso owners, what did you trade up to? I have tried more than a few, and preferred the Tom Evans Vibe and Pulse, CAT Ultimate MkII, VTL 5.5, and my current Lamm LL2. I will qualify by saying I used the Calypso with a McCormack DNA500, which is not an ideal amp for the Calypso due to it... | |
| Preamp Turned Down/Amplifer Noise Sounds like it, but you do not provide enough information. Is this a new development or has the hum always been there in this system? Is there a television, cable or satellite connected to this system? Did this condition start after adding a new c... | |
| Pre- output impedance for ss input impedance 10K I have had this situation, and the common general rule of thumb is for the "maximum" output impedance of your preamp to be no greater than one-tenth the input impedance of your amp, or in your case 1,000 ohms. However, please note two things;1. th... | |
| Tube CD player w/ balanced output Maybe this will help:CD128 vs. CD168 on paper"One BB 1738 DAC chip vs. two BB 1792s. 24/96 vs. 24/192 upsampling. Sony KSS-213Q vs. Philips VAM 1202 top-loading transport. Balanced output stage vs. fully balanced circuit beginning at the converter... | |
| Tube CD player w/ balanced output Unfortunately the Lectors only have single-ended analogue outputs until you get up to the $9K+ Digidrive and Digicode combo, which is fully balanced. However, the CDP 7TL MkIII sounds great, so if you have the scratch there are two Digidrive/Digic... | |
| Which amps have 2 sets binding posts per channel My Cary 500MB monoblocks have two sets of WBT posts per channel. | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 Hi Mark,I purchased almost everything from Carl (which may no longer be an option), including new Circe alnico woofers and tweeters, Carl's internal wiring, and Carl's outboard crossovers that used upgraded capacitors from what was in the Circe. O... | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 I tried for years to get the V MkII's to sing with a variety of components. I actually upgraded those speakers to above the Circe level with all new Alon alnico drivers, internal wiring, and a pair of Carl's outboard crossovers that according to C... | |

| Has anyone tried modifying a CX-7e? Nrenter, a couple of thoughts; I owned the CX-7e and thought it was quite good, but ultimately a little lacking in richness and dimensionality compared to my current Lector CDP 7TL MkIII, which is maybe just a shade behind the CX-7e in resolution.... |
