| Magnepan 3.7 Josh358, thanks for the leads.Can anyone report if the 3.7 did away with the external x/o? | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Magfan,"the difference between QR and planer is negligible" How much difference to you think there is between the push-pull type midrange and the regular single-ended magnet type of the others? | |
| 1970's receivers and integrated amps... Drken,I think if you mate a vintage receiver up with an appropriate load for it, you will get a pleasing sound. These vintage pieces are old so you have to make sure they are operating as intended.My reason for having a nice system is simply the p... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 My 3.6's are coming up on 11 yrs old. No delamination/no buzzes or anything funny has happened to them.The 3.7's do have my interest. | |
| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? Lloydelee21, One thought about the CJ preamps, with the ART you can roll the 6922's, not much you can do with the ACT and their 6h30's.I use the ACT 2.2 in one of my systems and love it but I also have the ART and it's been fun rolling the tubes. ... | |
| Best Hobby related purchase of 2010 My "hybrid" Altec Valencias.I have a couple of vintage Marantz receivers and always wanted a vintage speaker to go with them to complete the nostalgia but couldn't find any to suit my taste until now. I call them "hybrid" because the insides have ... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET Droz, 1. Pretty much. It's single ended. It will have it's own flavor depending on the tube used. One of my amps is the little Glow Amp that uses 1 EL84 per channel. Nice sweet sound.2. It would be close. A push pull 300b amp would have a similar ... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET Ooops, was rushing at the end of my post. Last paragraph, delete "mated" after SET. | |

| Cary Audio CAD 280sa V12i Power amp I am assuming you do not have the manual for it. You can download it by searching their website, Caryaudio.com, it has very detailed biasing instructions.Check your fuses as Markwatkiss suggested. | |
| Cary Audio CAD 280sa V12i Power amp Are all 12 of the LED's lit up? Is there a switch on the back for balanced and rca inputs and is it set to the correct one? Are the Standby and Power switch on the faceplate both in the correct positions? | |
| Proper use volume control? Pubul57, Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, It's clear to me now. By dialing in the correct amount of gas I can find the right spot between excitement lifting away and shimmying. Now if I could relate this to the use of a volume control, I'll be good. | |
| Proper use volume control? Now that the volume control whys (not wise) have been brought to light, can someone please explain why there has to be a gas pedals on cars? | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri DILE, Since you can't demo a BAT or CJ, I suggest trying the 2200 and seeing what difference it makes over what you have now and then go from there. If you like it but say "I wish it had more/less of ????" then we could possibly help from there. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Very happy with the EML 300b solid plate. Would love to try their mesh. |
