HDtracks died
I've downloaded dozens of albums from HD Tracks Since Feb 2010. (73 to be exact, just checked)I remember on a couple occasions having some kind of download issue. In each case it was resolved via an email to them in pretty short order, although no... 
Furman polarity?
Interesting question, I use a P-2400 IT, but have never made any attempt at comparing it's output to input. I would have assumed that an isolation transformer effectively removes any relationship between the AC input hot/neutral and the transforme... 
Power Cord for Power Conditioner
Then that settles it, if humans can fly, then a $3500 power cord is a worthwhile investment. I just ordered 4ea. Shunyata King Cobra CX. only $14,000 for audio bliss.

Actually difference between class A and AB?

Actually difference between class A and AB?
I recently compared 3 amplifiers, 1 Stereo, and 2 pairs of Monoblocks. The Stereo and 1 monoblock pair were reportedly standard class AB, with the stereo amp claiming "high-bias".The 2nd Monoblock pair was reported to run class A up to a point. Th... 
Relays, Capacitors, and Blown Speakers
I've seen many cases over the years where the speaker relays internal contacts get dirty/oxidized etc. with the effect being low level noise/hash. cranking the volume up loud or power cycling will sometimes improve the connection for a short time.... 
Anyone heard the new Cary SA-500.1 Monoblocks?
In my opinion, SA500.1s better my Primare A32 in most every respect. The Carys are more detailed, deeper bass (I have never heard the 3.7s go deeper) and overall a much more up-front presentation, whereas the Primare is definitely a bit recessed. ... 
Survey-What is your most used source?
99% J-River MC playing high-rez flac from NAS to W4S DAC2 via USB. 
Anyone heard the new Cary SA-500.1 Monoblocks?
I just got a pair of 500.1s. Currently they are doing a bit of burning in. At this very moment playing Rudiger from Golden Heart, but I'm not listening. :)Early indications are that they would be right at home in between the CJET5 and Maggy3.7s th... 
Cary SA 200,2
Nice to hear the 200.2s are around. I've dealt with John many times over the years and he's in the process now of trying to get a couple 500.1s for me to have a listen to. They seem to be virtually non existent. I'm assuming the overall presentati... 
Anyone heard the new Cary SA-500.1 Monoblocks?
Thanks Mitch2, I'll keep my eyes open for further developments... 'just took a peek at Clayton, very nice. I've been trying for a couple months now to even get down to a short list of amps to consider, the list keeps getting bigger not shorter.I'm... 
Anyone heard the new Cary SA-500.1 Monoblocks?
I recently received a recommendation to use Cary SA-500.1s with my Mag 3.7s.I was hoping to get a couple "second opinions", as It just seems I never hear of Cary PwrAmps being used with Magnepan.I can't seem to find any reviews of the SA-500.1s, o... 
Conrad Johnson ET3, Mystere CA21 or Prima Luna Pre
I can't compare the 3, but I have owned an ET3SE and I liked it very much. It's got in my estimation, detail without harshness along with warmth. Definitely worth a listen to see if it's to you own liking.
