| What is consensus on Pioneer Elite sound quality? I did some research on Pioneer Elite as well and you have made a good choice to keep what you have. I think their gear is neutral sounding and a very good value for the money. You will have to spend more to step up. I like my Pioneer Elite integra... | |
| What is consensus on Pioneer Elite sound quality? An AV receivers preamp section is lesser quality than the amp section. To many op amps and signal path length for the low the level signal before it is amplified.A tube preamp (or SS) would provide better sound if the receiver has multichannel amp... | |
| What is consensus on Pioneer Elite sound quality? I have the Pioneer Elite A-35R stereo integrated amp I use for movies, TV and background music. It is a really nice 2 channel MOSFET amp with a msrp of $200 (recently discontinued but still available) It has 45wpc/8ohms and 65wpc/4ohms. I've not c... | |
| Modified Jolida JD100A or Cary Cd308T Before I bought my Cary 308 I auditioned the 308 and 308T in an all tube Cary system and the 308 had better detail while the 308T seemed soft and boring. With SS electronics the T may be better.Years latter I auditioned the 300/300 with its tube a... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp Thanks everyone one who posted on this thread, as I initially started it. There has been some excellent comments and inputs so lets keep it going. My system has moved to a smaller listening room so I'm going the passive preamp route.I'm so impress... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp Stevehuff1,That is a nice comparison. The extra dynamics of the DJH con probably be contributed to the non-capacitor coupled output. The DJH has transformers potted in wax while the MkII has a decorative cover over the transformers, but the MkII i... | |
| Vintage 1989 Magnavox CDB482 player- Impressive Mfslogoldcd,Have you compared the 650 w/ other vintage Magnavox cdps?The '86 650 uses the 1541 DAC and the '89 492 uses the 1543 DAC that has been re-discovered and is used in many high end players and stand alone DACs of today. The 482 uses the h... | |
| Vintage 1989 Magnavox CDB482 player- Impressive I initially typed the wrong model number on the title of this thread. It is the CDB-492 not 482, but you probably figured this out. | |
| Vintage 1989 Magnavox CDB482 player- Impressive I understand the 610-630 from '86 had a better built chassis, but the 492 from '89 had the better 1543 DAC and CDM4/19 transport. I'm really amazed at the sound it produces. Big, lively and detailed sounding. I'm hearing deeper into the recordings. | |
| Eastern Electric Mini Max CD No Longer made ? You still have 2 budget choices w/ tube output left. Jolida JD100 and Cary CD308T | |
| Benchmark DAC 1 - first thoughts Your description of the DAC1 is what I noticed to. I also think it is pretty amazine. All the subtle changes it offered made for a very involving and listenable presentation. It doesn't seem to add any extra umph, but gives an honest listning expe... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp Sorry about the late response to your question.I have used the DJH pre with solid state amps with excellent sonic results. The only drawback is its high 20 db output. The volume will max out at about the 10-11 o'clock volume knob position. If you ... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp Roblanger,I understand that the new 6pacs (yours) are improved from what I read on AudioAsylum. Email or call Cary, they would be able to answer it. They only make the DJH pre for Kevin Deal, probably until their supplies for production run out, a... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp Roblanger,I forgot to say that you can buy the Cary soft feet for your your AE3 MkII for $40 from Cary. |
