| opinions on the blue point special I auditioned a Project Wood table with this cartridge and it didn't sound "special" to me. I found an Ortofon cartridge that sounded better, not as thin through the upper bass. | |
| Best Cd player for under 500 Find a top of the line old Sony. I purchased the D500se for a bedroom system and while it sounds ok especially driving sennheiser phones on the ASL headphone amp it doesn't have the refinement of a top player played on big full range system. Howev... | |
| JBL B380 Subwoofer I had a B380 for a number of years and powered it with an Adcom GFA555 most of the time or a Classe Dr8 with good results with either amp. I found the B380 will not plumb the nether regions however. The lowest response I could get in my room using... | |
| Audio s impact on enviroment Dougholdco and Elizabeth pretty much sum it up as far as I'm concerned. | |
| Remote control for Turntable? Technics made a remote control turntable model SL15. It is a linear tracking table with an alloy frame. These were made in the early 80's and were around 800.00 new. Maybe you could find one of these. | |
| What s in front of your chair? Don't worry about it. You won't hear a difference. Just buy a good comfortable scandanavian recliner and matching ottoman and sit back and enjoy. | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? Definitely the cd player, Phx AZ has the worst radio stations, lousy music and too many commercials. I used my tuner quite a bit in the past but not hardly at all these days. | |
| Extension Cord I built a four outlet box for my p300 using a short 18 inch 12 gauge power cord and soldered all the internal connections. It works very well, no difference in sound compared to plugged directly into the p300 outlet. All you need is available from... | |
| Speaker Fetish Yeah, I'm with you. I need a larger house with multiple rooms just to have a chance to listen to all the stuff sitting in closets that is great but don't get to listen to all the time. I have a set of Green Mountain Diamantes in the closet that I ... | |
| Cary Cabling It's all about synergy. Sometimes the cheapest stuff works the best. I use radio shack four strand 16 gauge to the speakers and the stock Sony cable from the cd player. I have tried the up-grades that I use on my big rig system and the Cary likes ... | |
| B W 801II vs. which Nautilus speaker? I have auditioned the N803's and N802's versus the older 801's and the N802 or N801 would be the speakers for you to listen to. The 803's will sound less powerful in the bass. The 802's are the best looking and provide the best overall balance. | |
| Grouding for dedicatied lines? The ground point for my house is a clamp around the copper water pipe that enters the house. I found that paint had covered the pipe. I removed the clamp and sanded the pipe down to the copper and sanded the paint off the ground cable. With regard... | |
| OK to hook up both RCA and XLR on amp? The amp needs to have a toggle switch to select one input or the other not both at one time. I have used this type of setup for over two years with a Classe' CA300. I have not found any difference in sonics or noise levels with the un-used input s... | |
| 2 amps with same speakers NON-Biamp ?? Here is a slightly different set-up I use. One power amp that has switchable inputs for balanced or RCA which is a Classe' CA300 is hooked to two different pre-amps, one solid state and the othe tubed plus two cd players gives the flexibility to c... | |
| Antique Sound Labs? I just purchased an ASL MG Head-phone amp and it sounds great on Sennheiser HD600's, very quiet, no tube noise and deep rich bass. It doesn't sound like a Cary component and the build quality isn't to Cary standards, kinda like comparing a Chevy t... |
