| Cary 120s 5 years ago I visited their facility in NC where they have a nice listening room set up showing off there products. It was interesting to note that all the Cary gear was connected using Kimber interconnects, speaker cable, and power cords, with no... | |
| NAD vs. Cambridge Audio I disagree w/ most of the generalization on CA posted here. I find it tuneful w/ outstanding PRaT, creamy and articulate, w/o a hint of harshness in my system. Bass does not take front stage but it all there and very definable. It's sound reminds ... | |
| Are Carver Preamps Any Good? Thanks, they have a following nether the less. | |
| AR Refinish Here is an option. Take your wood TT base to an auto body shop and get a price to have it painted gloss black w/ a clear coat finish. I just got a price to have a small body shop repaint a pair of very large vintage Polk speaker cabinets for $60-$... | |
| Rack/component fans? Thanks Buconero. Very helpful for me. These laptop cooling fans are the most compact for me as long as they are very quiet. | |
| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio Timrhu,Sorry about the late response. I'm so impressed with the Polk RTA11t's that I am considering the LSi9's as you suggest. (Or even the LSi25 as they have a modern look, small footprint, and powered subs that can be used w/ the CA 640A's pre o... | |
| Rack/component fans? Buconero117,I don't think you answered his question. Anyway how can a laptop cooler be used, as they are usb powered. (Lastly, is usb 12 volt, and if so can you cut off the end and attach a 12v wallwart plug?)I'm likewise looking for a super quiet... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,Sounds like a nice system.I had the Benchmark DAC and used it as a preamp directly into a tube poweramp. Wonderful!Have you considered feeding your CDP into the Benchmark's coaxial input and the Sony tuner into the Benchmark's optical in... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,I'm curious, what does the rest of your system consist of? | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Jim,Good to read about you positive assessment of the SE version. Keep us informed as it breaks in. Thinking about the Class A rating, the amp could also have a Class A input stage then AB after that. | |
| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio I'm using a pair of vintage Polk Audio RTA11t foorstanders for now. Outstanding synergy. These Polk's are from when they made audiophile speakers, and have midrange clarity, imaging, and an articulate bass. They compliment CA's PRaT and clarity wi... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,As you know amps characteristics change many times through the breaking in process as the electronics settle in. I'd like your impression w/ balanced and RCAs after many weeks have gone by. During the night time hours and while at work u... | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 Paulsax,If possible, it is important to listen the speakers in the same environment and w/ the same electronics you will be using. At least you used the same electronics which is very important. I was commenting on folks that used one type of spea... | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 As I was reading this post I was shocked to hear folks comparing the Polks w/ an AVR receiver to other speakers w/ pre-power combos or integrated amps. This is no way to make a valid comparison. I've never been a Polk fan or Polk hater, only becau... |
