| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping OP Fuses are in the ears of the listener, I seldom recommend a brand. I use SR blue and orange. I also use ACMEs very good fuse. Those speakers are heavy. Man alive. I've tipped up a few over 600 lbs. Heavy enough. :-) Cary likes fancy fuses, an... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Not coupling/decoupling caps, FILTER CAPS. Here is the rub. There was a thread about V12i blowing fuses on the forum, HE had sent it to Cary, They did a (so called) complete rebuild and they started blowing coupling caps. I told him my story an... | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I've know about Danny when he started in the business behind VMPS and Brian Cheney. :-) There were some heated debates behind Danny fixing "Some" manufactures speakers. VMPS sold kit and in those kit there were different qualities of parts. Dann... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping I've had 5 different Cary tube products they all used the 560uf filter caps in the power supply. Mine all did the same thing they were all older units too. They would start running hotter and I had to be very careful flipping from standby to on. T... | |
| Remote Volume Control for a Sub Woofer OP I still have a loudness contour, bass, treble and balance. I wouldn't give it up for anyone. Second the actual problem is the sensitivity of your main speakers vs your subs. 10 to 1 says your mains or subs are a mismatch. Kind of like conven... | |
| How do I set the crossover for 2 channel listening on my HT system? Your head unit is sending a low level signal @ what ever you set it at and normally that roll off is the same as the roll on of the next crossover point. No different than any crossover. IF they lap at the same frequency and have a vey gradual slo... | |

| Cary slp 98p upgrade Schematic should be somewhere. Need a switch for the front to, if it's not already there. | |
| Cary slp 98p upgrade I have a question. If you know which parts to buy, how did you come up with that? That might be a better direction to go. You bought the parts. There is more than one way to go. Which valves are you going to use? I see all kinds of options, I'm no... | |

| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton What about feedin' the chickens? The rooster is the only light bulb according to him.

| New Tubes I wouldn't spent too much on valves unless (like me) you use 12AX7 as a main valve in a lot of your gear. I keep good 12AX7s handy.. I personally match my valves. I'm way to picky. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<&... | |
| Mark Levinson 5000 series vs 500 series Are you talking about a 536 amp? I would be looking at acoustics first then cables then amp or preamp. Your root gear Mac is as neutral as they come. Save your money. You really want to change the sound quality change the room acoustics.. Tune a ... |
