| Signal Degradation Balanced Output I'm totally confused at this point. When that happens, I break down my system to the bare essentials. Source, amplification, and speakers. Everything else sits in the corner for now. If you can't get your system sounding right with the bare minimu... | |
| Signal Degradation Balanced Output Did you try the RCA outputs? | |
| Signal Degradation Balanced Output "Y" off a single pair of outputs. | |

| Cary V-12 using KT-77 tubes? I have AES Six-Pacs which is a Cary V-12 circuit design. I have not tried KT-77s but I switched my Prima Luna to Gold Lyon KT-88s. They worked really well. Sound great with a better top end than the EL-34s. That's what I would do. Get your tubes f... | |

| Replacement power cord, Hafler 9180 Amazon? | |
| New Preamplifier Testing (Poor sound) Try the RCA connection just for giggles. Rotel makes nice gear but I have not heard one that really did it for me. | |
| Black Ice(former Jolida Company)new integrated amp opinions My only concern is service out of Maryland. I had my Dad drop off his Jolida because one channel was noisy. They had it forever and didn't do anything. So he sent it across the country back to me. It was just a bad tube, took me 15 minutes to find... | |
| Pulled from old theater Freshen the crossover and run it. You shouldn't have any problems. | |
| CD Player Recommendations… "...On the Cambridge 851, I’ve read that it’s a bit harsh?? Perhaps the 840?..."I've never heard any Cambridge player that was harsh. I run an 840 on my main system and it sounds great. |
