| Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new? Phaelon, I seem to have a similar situation, relatively lower high end digital (Perp Tech p1a,p3a, monolithic ps, modwright signature, shunyata pc's, resolution audio, Mark Levinson No. 37, all going through BPT 3.5 sig) within the context of a mu... | |
| Big beautilful tube amp Look at the Art Audio Carissa. With 845 tubes, all chrome finish, optional chimneys, blue LED's that project an etherial outline of the chimneys onto the ceiling and outboard legs its definitely quite the show. May be a bit pricier than your state... | |
| Synergistic Research Active Sheilding Quandry I was hoping someone else would answer this, but oh well. I can't answer your question directly, but in speaking with Steven at The Cable Company he seems to think that the quattro is more about convienience than a quality issue. Last time I spoke... | |
| Myth: low-power high-efficiency As someone stated earlier, it may depend on the tube. Try out an 845 tube. Talk about presence, immediacy, punch, life, etc. My Art Audio Carissa Signature is leagues above my prior Conrad Johnson and Cary monoblocks pp's in this regard, and this ... | |
| Who Has The Best service department Joe Fratus at Art Audio sent me some NOS tubes at no charge to try in my Carissa Sig. Cardas did a free inspection, retermination and sent a binding post wrench free of charge. Judd Barber at Joule-Electra, just a real nice guy. | |
| Merry Christmas Everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Festivus everyone. | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products Problems with a Cary amp some years ago, output tube failures and bias resistor failures. I had some service issues as well. Hopefully they've improved since then. | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? I experienced the same feelings as I built my present system over the past couple of years or so. My former system didn't have nearly the same resolution and detail yet was much more satisfying musically. Finally, after much trial and error with r... | |
| Naming your child after Audio equipment? Conrad and/or Johnson, Linn. Rogue would be sort of out there, Merlin if he is the mystical type. | |
| Reliability issue - Nagra VPA power not KR tube I can't speak to reliability issues of Nagra, but I've also experienced KR 845 tube failure after only aprox. 100 hours on my Art Audio Carissa Signature. Now use TJ Fullmusic. | |
| Computers and audio, perhaps its too soon While I agree that 100% trust in any software program is silly I do think that there will be many who trust Sony and download the software without a care in the world. I guess what gets me even more is the lack of consequences these sorts of viola... | |
| Anyone spend more on their system than their car? Prpixel, yes, I have and I find it ridiculously enjoyable. Purchased my house for a grand total of $25,000 many moons ago and have around $40,000 in audio equipment. Add in both my cars (1990 BMW 325ix and 1970 MGB-GT), total investment including ... | |
| Just moved - sound destroyed You need to treat the room with acoustic treatments, the asymetry of speaker positioning is not helping either. Check into Echobusters, RPG, etc. | |
| Anybody heard new Jolida glass phono box I'm also looking at the Jolida. Underwood Hifi also has 3 levels of mods for the Jolida which would take it up even higher. I wonder if anyone has heard the Jolida with mods? | |
| Differences btwn Synergistic Research and Cardas I use both Synergistic Resolution Ref. (speaker cables) and Cardas Golden Ref. (interconnects) in my system. I have also demoed the Resolution Ref. interconnects. In my system the Cardas has a bit more focus. I've found that Synergistic cables (I'... |
