| Cary SLP-70 with noise Most likely one of your tubes is bad. You can check by swapping the tube(s) from the noisy side to the other. If you still hear noises on the same side then you need to call Cary. If the noise goes to the other side then you need to buy some new t... | |
| Slow upgrade from integrated - pre or power first? I would go with the preamp. It's the next piece from your source before passing the signal to your amp. You always want to retain as much as possible of the original signal had work well for me. Good luck.Nick | |
| Krell CAST vs. Other High End Interconnects hiI had the chance to use Cast cables on my Krell 28c to my KCT and 450mx. I also compared them vs. regular but very expensive xlr cables: MIT Oracle 1.I found that for the money CAST is the best but somehow it sounded thin to me. The Xlr cables g... | |
| What should be on my short list... You should look at the Cary 306 sacd. I have compared it against my Wadia 861se and I prefer the mids from the Cary. | |
| Neutral powercords You should try the Silent Source by Walker Audio. | |
| preamps with tone controls. hi JoeI hope you are having fun w/ the 1201s. If you could stretch for an Accuphase preamp, I think you would be very happy. I just bought a pair of Accuphase M2000. They blew away my Krell. Take care my friend.Nick T. | |
| Input on Cary CDP I had both the 301 and 308T. I would recommend the 308T. It has much better bass control vs. the 301. | |

| Mark Levinson 30.5/31.5 vs Wadia 861se I had the chance to own both ML 390 and Wadia 861se. In my system with B&W 800D driven by Mac 1201s. Soundstage= WadiaDetails= WadiaLaid back= MLGiven that the ML 390 is five years old, I will admit that it is not 30.5/31.5. However, I thought... | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" Every brand has its own "house sound" and you could call it whatever you want depending on your personal taste. I owned Mac amps and thought they were very musical but warm and laid back, where Krells are more forward sounding but not as sweet or ... | |
| Mcintosh Speaker cable connection question?? red is always positive. | |
| Best CDs for vocals? A must is "Audiophile Voices, Volume 3". You can buy it on ebay. | |
| Classe Audio CA400 or Pass Labs X250 what speakers do you have? What are you looking for: power, warm sounds, transparency? Buying a new amp does not always work out the way you thought that it would. You need to match and mate your component for synergy.Nick Truong | |
| Cary 306 SACD Yes it is. I ordered mine and will be getting it very soon but just couldn't wait... I was hoping someone could tell me what it sounds like.Nick T |
