| ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound? This is a definite problem if you cannot audition the players yourself. The problem is inherent in our extremely subjective hobby. What sounds great to me may sound muddled and horrible to someone else. There is no way to make a definitive assessm... | |
| Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD I have had the opportunity to listen to both the Ayre and Cary (I own the Cary). As with everything in this whacky hobby it really comes down to personal preference. I do not think the Ayre and Cary sound similar at all. I listened to an all Ayre ... | |
| Esoteric P70 D70 vs X-01 Limited I totally agree with the recent comments. I have heard the Exosteric cdps playing directly into amps and I thought the sound was a bit too clinical for my taste (but hey I like it on the warm side of neutral). The advice to get a warm sounding pre... | |
| Cary 306 SACD: How good at redbook playback? Thanks everyone. I should be getting my 306 this Wed. I cant wait to compare it to my 303! | |
| Classe CP-700 screen question soundsophist: thanks for the input. That makes me feel better but what the heck is that background supposed to be? It really does look like some sort of defect to me...maybe Classe is just saying that so we feel better? | |
| Advice: My first SACD? tfkaudio: thank you! I will give those a listen. | |
| Advice: My first SACD? tfkaudio:Thanks for the tips. I do not know of any classical composers though I am open to trying anything. This is more an exploratory mission to just try out new music on SACD. | |
| Matching digital input impedance of dac with cable ncwogger:thanks for the nice review. I am considering the Acoustic Zen digital cable for no other reason then the fact that I currently have all AZ cables in my system. I have never heard of Chimera. I will have to check them out. Do you mind if y... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. Have you considered the Cary SLP-05? I ahve heard awesome things about that pre. I will be auditioning it against my Classe CP-700 ss preamp. In my opinion, you just cant go wrong with Cary pres and cdp. | |
| Does it make sense to buy SACD of old recordings? Robm321: where do you suggest other than http://sa-cd.net/ for reviews? | |
| Cary 306 SACD: How good at redbook playback? To answer your question, I like the house sound of Cary Audio players so I want to stay with their cdp. The 306 offers digital inputs which I can use for my digital music. Since I already like the way Cary sounds I figure if I use their DAC for my... | |
| Whats going on with Cary Audio's website TIC, thanks that did the trick. I can now surf Cary's site and drool over the 306....GH:Dont get me wrong, I definitely believe SACD sounds incredible. ITs just that there are not that many titles out and dont expect there to be in the future. Mos... | |
| Whats going on with Cary Audio's website hmmmmm...must be me then...weird because I can surf the net wihtout a problem. just the cary site does not work for me. GH, I would love to here your thoughts on the 306. I currently have the 303/300. I am not getting the 306 for SACD as I do not ... | |
| Why doesn't Musical Fidelity offer balanced output To answer some of you, i would like balanced because all of my cabling is xlr. also, some of gear does sound better using the xlr connections vs the rca. i dont know why. | |
| Matching digital input impedance of dac with cable Thanks tplavas...that was question. Do I need to match the impedance of the dac and the cable...from what I understand of your response I do need to match the impedance... |
