| Cary Cd 303t SACD and SLP-98p Paired? If you have a CAD120's the SLP98P is an excellent pre. It has more than enough gain, so you don't have to upgrade to the MKII. The CD player should be no problem. good luck. | |
| subwoofer Bass in Systems I'm selling two subs that I liked very much with the monitors I was using for the past 6 months. I'd play none one or two and enjoyed two the most. I finally went back to floorstanders (Wilson Witt II's) and tried each combination, and really don'... | |
| Speaker cable made you say: Cerious Technologies LC Series. Discovered by accident. 6 Moons has a review and how they are built. They bettered Nordost Blue Heaven Rev. II's, Morrow Audio SP4's, and Kimber 4,8,and 12TC's. I liked the other Cables, but the Cerious Technologies... | |
| CARY CAD120s clipping? Wilson Witt II's 90dB, Linn Adikt MM 6.5 Mv has a Dynavector MC 10x5 (not recommended due to poor construction) you need 1.4 Mv to run MC carts thru the Cary Preamp. I also ran Lipinski L707 speakers. The amp will also put out 120 watts in ultrali... | |
| CARY CAD120s clipping? John, the only other amp I've tried was a Mac275 tube and the MC 7270 SS. Both sounded really good. The 275 has more of a SS sound (but runs cool for tubes) the 7270 also sounded good, but the CAD 120 is excellent. I'm now in the camp of friends d... | |
| CARY CAD120s clipping? If any one has the SLP98P and no tube amp the CAD120's will make you happy you bought it. Mono's may be better but maybe not always. | |
| CARY CAD120s clipping? Jake I have the exact combo slp 98p and cad 120's the first 35 watts are class A and the bias should be set at 140 to 150 on the meters. In ultralinear you can peg the needles as per the manual. This combo is a match made in heaven. Make sure all ... | |
| Best Cartridge for my system, MC or MM ?? If you go Dynavector, skip the 10x5 pretty good sound, but poor build quality. Go to the 20 series, and one of them will outlast the 10x5 more than twice as long. Better sound, more cost effective in the long run and one less time to mess with a c... | |
| woofer excursion at start of lp Try starting the platter with the volume up a little less than at a normal level, and slowly swing the tonearm across the platter. If a hum decreases or increases it could be that you need to relocate the ground wire. Best of luck. | |
| Can my MC275 power speakers with 91db sensitivity I owned both and I still say if you want good SS get a Mac275... | |
| Should I have a separate bank account for PayPal? Yes! Only keep enough to cover expenses. A hacker can put in fake addresses along with yours, (you should periodically check your paypal information, look it up thru editing to make sure you only have your address in there) and make purchases that... | |
| Can my MC275 power speakers with 91db sensitivity Jimmy, I have owned the Mac275 and the MC7270 SS amp. Both were good amps, but the Mac sounds more SS than tube especially when compared to my Cary V12R and CAD120's amps. One thing I really liked about the 275 is that it ran so much cooler than t... | |
| Can my MC275 power speakers with 91db sensitivity Remember that the 75 watt rating is conservitive on the Mac 275. It's more like 90. | |
| Study/office system Not sure abou the speakers, But I'd give Cary a listen over ac anytime. I've oened both and Cary smokes em. Service is vey reliable and so is their equipment. Good luck | |
| Can my MC275 power speakers with 91db sensitivity More than plenty. To me the Mac sounds more SS than tube, but they are a good amp and run cool. Don't worry about power, you'll have lots in resreve. Best of luck. |
