| Next to theaters, cars are the ideal speaker environment Not me.. I like um, better than ear phones. I turn them up to loud and I can't hear what's going on outside.. I drive first, not listen to music..You swear it was the other way around with cellphones and stereos in cars though. Everything BUT driv... | |
| Next to theaters, cars are the ideal speaker environment The speakers are often a box and the room is a box.....These 2 boxes interact one with another but not only and always in a destructive way.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>... | |
| Next to theaters, cars are the ideal speaker environment I always have pretty good sound. Just no soundstage, no closing my eyes and point out the instruments location. Clarity, in lows, mids and highs, never an issue. Magic though?Can get pretty close in a van or RV if you really watch what your doing.... | |
| Cary 306/200 service? Clean it, (Q-tips and alcohol) and try a little light lube, first..Strange that Cary doesn't service it.. they will sure take in ANY age amp and do an upgrade for you.. LOL Charge a pretty good sum too. They aren't cheap... 2-4 hours work and some... | |

| Did I make a cable mistake? The MC cart swap and a SUT, it might get a little noisy.Maybe with med or high output cart. BUT 1 meter is better now and in the future, ay? Stay out of trouble vs Get out of trouble. I'll take the ladder. :-)Regards | |
| Thinking of trying "vintage" sound just for fun I had a Fisher 500c at one time and Klipsch Corner Horns.. Sure was a nice combo. I left them where I bought them. 100 VAC setup..Regards | |
| Using Different Power Tube Types Simultaneously (PrimaLuna) Yup put the stockers back in and order up some new ones.. Why are you mixing? You have the originals you pulled? You broke an index off or something? LOL been a mechanic to long, reading between lines..Use it anyways, won’t hurt a thing..I don’t c... |
