| The best CD Player for the money Xxhanhxx,Read this entire thread and you will find your answer. | |
| Cary AE-3 Mk II Ssglx,When I had the DJH pre I tried other tubes, but found the stock tubes best when driving a Pass Labs Aleph 30 'class A' amp, like your 'class A' Monarchy amp. I can't wait to be able to afford the MkII pre and build my tube system up again. | |
| Cary AE-3 Mk II I forgot to address you last question. All AE products use point to point wiring. | |
| Cary AE-3 Mk II I had the DJH pre and thought it was a articulate and fine sounding unit because of the elimination of output caps and oil caps on the inside. The MkII version has the new upscale transformers used in the latest Cary gear, but if I remember correc... | |
| Review: Denon DRA395 Stereo Receiver I purchased this unit used so I assume it is thoroughly broken it. I find the sound compressed, struggling to opening up, and lacking subtle detail that adds to a refined sound, but it is a dynamic and punchy amplifier. FM listening lacks the invo... | |
| What has happened to Sansui? Thanks. I saw the Sansui site and was shock at what I saw. Truely sad, and didn't want to believe it. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? So true. Balancing the entire system... electronics, speakers, cabling, and room acoustics will make the "best". | |
| Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one? Thanks everyone! | |
| Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one? Thanks Erik,I think your right that more power would be nice in the living/dining combination room of out row house. Wish I could afford the 9200 that is why I said the 8200 instead.I've read for service that they need to be returned to New Zealan... | |
| Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one? Thanks Theunderlyingtheme for your insights. The amp may be a little more laid back than what Pdreher likes. 10 years ago I auditioned the Plinius CD Lad preamp and while it was detailed, it wasn't squeaky clean and pristine, so maybe that is what... | |
| Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one? Thanks Pdreher,Interesting that the Plinius lacks transparency. I would have not thought that to be the case, though in our lively minimalist room we have to be careful of a high res system. Incidentally the Dynaco are fine speakers and better tha... | |
| Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one? Pdreher,What do you mean by "I suggest you stick with your vintage Sansui" ? | |
| Oppo as transport I used my Oppo dv-970 into a Benchmark DAC-1. From memory, the results bettered my more expensive Cary CD-308 cdp I owned just before the Oppo/Benchmark combo. The Benchmark does such a fine job removing jitter that an additional equipment was not... | |
| phono preamp with volume control PS Audio GCPH has one. In fact I use its variable out to feed directly into a tube power amp w/ superb results. I super happy. It also sounds great with my Cambridge Audio integrated amp. | |
| NAD vs. Cambridge Audio Sorry you misunderstood me. I've been in this hobby a long time I find that synergy is paramount wether a product succeeds or fails. That is all I'm saying...no more, no less. Though I have have a modest system currently that I use a CA amp in, I ... |
