| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R decooney226 posts03-31-2020 12:30amIt's just 210 div by 6, per "rail" as you noted. If you are handy, pull lower cover, look and see if it has those four of the thin silver'ish Audio 1 coupling caps. Yes it does, took pictures. Few other spen... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? One thing I've noticed in this thread, "The system" revolves around the Preamp. Others seem to center on power amps. Then there are people who build from the speaker, BACK. Then those that have learned that ALL the speakers, amps, preamps, and cab... | |
| Tekton Design Electron SE You know I've looked and looked at these speakers, they defy the norm.I like um', not to sure on some of the specs. could just be a misprint..not fond of open ports, much less facing forward. Is there any port noise?I need to find a few and give ... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R One thing I forgot to mention... This amp and neo 8 planars, no running out of gas, I've yet to crank it, BUT, at 49% volume, on the led, the Rabbit, the dog, and the hummingbirds start looking for shelter. No power issues, no distortion issues (t... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R bradluke0154 posts03-31-2020 6:56pmIts 35 ma per tube . 2 tubes per side = 70 ma. 4 tubes per side =140ma . 6 tubes per side = 210 ma . The manual is wrong , if you go to 275 ma with 6 tubes per side you will pop the fuse.No fuse pops so far...B... | |

| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R It's just 210 div by 6, per "rail" as you noted. If you are handy, pull lower cover, look and see if it has those four of the thin silver'ish Audio 1 coupling caps. I guess I'm thick, so if I have two valves per rail then bios at 70ma and 4 ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Tell you what, you suggest an amp at 1000.00 USD New. It has to have just half the specs of the hypex or ice modules. 1000.00 USD New?Class A, AB, anything that sound as good, stays cool, low cost to run, quiet, and 1/2 the wpc, heck a 1/3, a 1/... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R As I recall. 35ma and 210ma per channel was about right, sounded good too. So is there a place to check for the 35ma (per valve?) or at the pin # whatever. I can see how to get the 210 per rail, but kinda lost me with the 35ma, Just a referen... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Like I said so many times now, a "stable" amp into 2ohm load means it won’t oscillate blow up and take out speaker drivers, but it does not mean it can drive the loads we are talking about here. Ok 550 watts not oscillating, won't drive a speak... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R Since you are interested in using the amp with planar, you might be interested to know that for me, the V 12 R ran out of juice with the Magnepan when played above 80-85 db. The amp worked well with the other speakers I had, though. You know, ne... | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R You have bias the tubes differently if you change the number in each channel , Cary was great help in directing me . Good luck . Do you remember HOW? Cary isn't answering the phone today, go figure.LOL shoulda' known..Regards | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R I just got it about an hour ago. I need the bios meter. That is a mono 1/4 jack? I guess.. I haven't hooked it up yet. Guy was a real nice, hand delivered it and gave me a two week "take it back no questions asked" deal. Brand new set of 12 match... | |
| Subwoofer insight. That is a big room, you got anything smaller, you can treat without getting the partner upset? Does it have to be that room? There is no fix without room treatment of some kind, or just use part of the room, Can you use partitions? Fold out while ... |
