| Best Digital Cable for Karik Numerik? The digital link is a 75 ohm BNC cable. I use the Tara Labs RSC Master 75 ohm BNC cable. I have tried various cables on the clock link and have found that only the stock Linn cable provides the correct sound. I use Nordost Blue Heaven on the analo... | |
| CD Player Woes I wouldn't bother fixing it. I have two Sony players, a 608es and x77es from 89 and 92 respectively. Both units are totally reliable. The 608es has over 6500 hrs on it and has not even needed a bulb. By contrast, my Linn Karik/Numeric combo has be... | |
| To tube or not to tube... I agree with Sagger, once you listen to good tubed gear it is impossible to go back, just don't forget that there is bad tube gear just like there is bad solid state gear. At least try the tube preamp. I use tubed preamp with solid state amp here ... | |
| Where is the best place for amp s This is an impossible answer. If you keep the speaker cable runs short then you have all of your gear stacked between the speakers which has its pitfalls. If the amp only sits inbetween for short speaker runs then you generally have long interconn... | |
| Best integrated tube amp under 3K The Cary SLI50 has the musical magic. The dynamics both macro and micro are always there in concert with the music. Bandwith does not seem limited as with a lot of tubed gear I have listened to. This amp sounds like it has more power than the rate... | |
| Power Plant 300 or EQUI=TECH I use a P300 to power everything except the power amp, it will power two cd players and two pre-amps at the same time, power draw is about 160 watts. The sound is quieter and more three dimensional. I do not use multi-wave or anything other than 6... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & 804 Vs The World I listened to the N803's and thought they sounded good. Then right after to the N802's and the difference was tremendously better in favor of the N802. The N802's are more revealing and have better bass extension plus the styling makes quite a vis... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I'll qualify "best" as being the most musically involving, the one that makes you feel good every time you listen. The source is a Sony 608es player connected to a Cary SLI50 integrated amplifier using the stock Sony supplied interconnect. The spe... | |
| Sony ES CD Player Cult--which sound best My favorite is the 608es which is now 12 yrs. old and has over 6500 hrs on it without any break-downs, talk about reliability! This player has extremely extended and defined bass, excellent pace and rythm. It is lacking somewhat in the area of "ai... | |
| Anyone heard PS Audio Lab Cable? I tried it on a Classe' ca300 and found the presentation to be airless and no increase in bass extension. I also tried it on the Cary sli50 integrated amp and found same results. The last place I tried this power cable was from the p300 to the out... |
