| Am I behind the digital eightball? Hi Warren,I guess the recent discussion on the Prima triggered the upgrade itch for you. You might want to talk to Howard (Boa2). He upgraded from the Prima to a Cap I, and finally to a Denon APL 3910. He very much liked the Prima but thought the ... | |
| Phase Inverted DAC fix - w/o flipping spkr cables? Strictly speaking there is no polarity for an interconnect cable. Interconnects carry an AC signal and by switching the leads of the interconnect you flip the phase, i.e. you shift the phase of the signal they carry by 180 degrees.The problem with... | |
| Breaking in new speakers Tafka, I guess Fostex drivers don't have any crossover boards which is why the out of phase works so well. But like I said even in a regular speaker with crossover this should not be a problem as long as you don't turn up the volume too much. Of c... | |
| Breaking in new speakers One tip to save your neighbors while the speakers are playing at 90dB:Turn the speaker so that the fronts face each other. Put the speakers very close toghether. Switch the red and black terminals on one of the speakers so that they play out of ph... | |
| Absolutely beautiful gear Cain Abby - wonderful finish and just the right proportions without being too imposing.Fi Y and X - Great industrial design and thinking outside the box.Original Rega Planet - Utilitarian approach to a CDP, certainly a matter of taste, but again n... | |
| Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby Arkprof, what amp are you using with the Abby's, and which ones did you try so far? Rene | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Oakiris, by the way there are some changes in the Sophia line up. At least cosmetically the changes are major, and the new set of amps is manufactured in California rather than China. Jim should probably now more about this, but there is some info... | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Oakiris, I listened to the Sophia EL34 at Sounds Real Audio in Denver, when deciding to buy the speakers. I compared it directly to my Jolida, and liked the Sophia much more than the Jolida. I used the same CDP, as I have now. As far as my memory ... | |
| Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby Wow, Terry moving toward the hometheater camp :-D . Okiris, you might want to try the Abby's first without the center. In my setup, the center is really not needed. That way you have lot's more money to invest in an amp. For use in hometheater you... | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Salectric, thanks very much for your comments on the Moebius. I actually did not know that Terry's version used different tubes. However, his description sounds very similar to yours and the short 6moons review. The Fi Y pre is a little lower in p... | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Oakiris, following Terry's advice and my preference for a very live-like system, I ended up with the above short-list of amps. I instantly fell in love with the speakers as well, but they do require a a careful amp match and I am not sure whether ... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... O.K. there's one critizism to the Prima that I will even agree on:The remote has to many buttons that have no function:Display, CD, Pre/Amp, CD/Pre, Ch up, Ch down, Vol up, Vol down, Phase;)Rene | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... The 6021W subminiature tube have a fairly long lifetime (20000 hours). Assuming you leave it on 24 hours 365 day =8760 h, the tubes will last for 2.5 years. At that point you there is no warranty left and you (or a friend) can safely solder new on... | |
| Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby One more thing: Looks like the Omega Grande 6 are going out of production...You might have to act fast.Rene | |
| Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby My Cain Abby's are also used for watching movies, tv, etc. There's no reason they should not work. A sub should be heplful though. Voices do sound great and very clear. And the explosions a sub could handle.As rear and center you could with speake... |
