| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Get a Simaudio Moon series Equinox SE series CD player (I think there's still one on here for a grand) and you won't need one costing 5-10K. I got one MINT for $800.00 last month from a dealer and can't beleive how much better it sounds after repl... | |
| Component racks I have a Salamander 2.0 with a tube amp on it off to the side, and a 5.0 with a tube preamp, tube tuner cd player power supply with a line conditioner. The shelves are infinitly adjustable and open all around to let your equipment stay cool. Get t... | |
| Active Vs. Passive I had Linn aktiv speakers then went back to passive and added a tube amp and pre. MUCH better. Aktiv marries the amp to the driver. | |
| Klipsch Quartet: Suggestions for Setup & Pairing I used to keep mine on a dresser with the horns at ear level. Ran with a McIntosh 7270 then went to a Cary CAD 120s tube amp. Klipsch suggests they are put in corners, but I never ran them that way. I just sold mine after 15years...they were prett... | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals Any Chuck Berry music done by Alvin Lee or Johnny Winter. | |
| Cary Audio CAD 280sa V12i Power amp I had a V12R...awesome amp, hooked up to a Cary SLP98P pre Ruby EL-34's 12ax7 EL-84's. Electroharmonix. Mine ran hot enough to cook hamburgers. I have the CAD 120's now. Good luck. | |
| looking for an "all in one" unit. Linn Classik K. 4 speaker hook up, clock, alarm clock, main out so you can hook up another (tube) amp, add a phono stage for a TT, hook up a reel to reel or a cassette deck or a cd recorder. 56 watts into 8 ohms 75 watts into 4 ohms. Bass & tr... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 vs. Watt/Puppy 7 I've heard both including Sophia III's. All sounded great to me, so if you are lucky enough to get the Sophia II's you will be very happy. Do not go too cheap with the rest of your equipment. Even if you have to let the speakers sit for 6 months t... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Why pay when some systems can be assembled for 25K that would sound better anyway. | |
| tube or ss tuner Thanks Elevick and Pdreher, you saved me some money today. I guess I should be happy with my Linn Kudos, it always works good. Now I can spend the money on beer and new music. I just rebuilt a Sondek 12 today. Thanks again and best of luck! | |
| Mcintosh MC2102 vs Cary Audio CAD 120s I got to hear the Mac275 and the Cary CAD120's thru Wilson Sophia II's. The Mac ran cooler, but the Cary sounded better, so I bought the Cary. I used to own a Mac 7270 for 18 years. I'll never knock a Mac amp. | |
| Mcintosh MC2102 vs Cary Audio CAD 120s Mac's are great but sound more SS than tube. I have a Cary 120's Cary Slp98P with all Linn sources and a Teac X1000R RR. I love the sound. I had the V12R but you need a big room they run so hot. Good luck. | |

| speakers for a smaller listening room Get Linn Katans. | |
| tube amp help You may want to replace tube 7. You're lucky to know which one it is. I'd get a new set plus one extra tube that matches. Antique Electronic Supply in AZ can probably match the numbers you have now. 480-820-5411 also check your fuses and find out ... |
