| Cary Cinema 11 Quirks? I had the Cin 11 and it had the "pops" just like the Cin 6. Since then I moved to a Cin 11a without any issues. And the sound for audio is 50% better than the Cin 11. | |
| Integrated tube amp for 91db open baffle speakers My vote is for the Cary SLI-80 but you must get the Signature version. What an amp for the money. I had to sell mine cuz my 2 year old son burned his finger the other day. I have not heard the other 3 you had mentioned. | |
| Is Sony XA-5400ES fully 'truly' balanced? You don't have any XLR cables to try for yourself? If the Sony is fully balanced then yes you will hear a significant improvement. I have a fully balanced cdp, Cary 306 Pro, going into a VTL 6.5 preamp, also fully balanced, and the difference was ... | |

| What is it about the Cary SLI-80? I just sold my $16K Krell Evo 402 amp to downsize to a Cary SLI-80 F1. I thought it was going to be a major let down but to my surprise the Cary sounds so good. I am using a pair of JM Lab Electra speakers. I had the regular SLI-80 before, but abs... | |

| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II I dont know if it's true or not but I was told there is a Phantom Mk. III available now. If you were going to upgrade then might as well go for the latest. Personally I have not heard the latest so I cant tell you if it's worth it or not. | |
| Krell Evo202 or B&W 802 or McIntosh C1000 solid Getting the 802 would definitely be your best choice but then your 275 would also need to be upgraded to at least the 402 or 501. Why would you drop 8-10K on a preamp when your amp or speakers are not in that range? | |
| should I lose m KRELL FPB 600 for the new KRELLS? I had owned a few Krell amps in the past: 450mcx, and 700cx. I just went to the Evo line and I could tell you that I would never go back to the Krell older amps. The Evo line is more musical and warm in a way that makes the older amps sound harsh ... | |
