| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? My experience with Cary’s service was so bad I never unboxed my unit. I could never recommend this brand. | |
| Digital Remasters, Tapes & Records I meant tape hiss from tapes played on reel or cassette, not LPs. I have an audio-technica table & MC with a Cambridge phono amp. & a CJ PV12, 140 watt rev.3 atma-sphere amps, ZeroBox autoformers, Vandersteen 3a sigs & Chord’s Huggo TT. | |
| Anticables I have bi-wired solid core ANTICABLES & ZEROBOXES with Vandersteen 3a Signatures and a 140 watt Atma-sphere. Sounds great!I’m also using Gold ANTICABLE XLRs out of my preamp. Love them.I’d like to try Paul’s power cables, but I currently have ... | |

| Best sounding transistors Thanks for your posts. | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Ralph, It's amazing how you keep such a cool head and give such great responses. How many thousands of times have you done this?I hereby nominate you to the Audiogon Pantheon/Hall of Fame. | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? I have tried a CJ PV12 (preamp) with an older class D NAD amp, but eventually removed the CJ because it imparted too much hum. Now I use a Chord DAC to drive the amp directly and it sounds good, but not nearly as good as my all tube fully balanced... | |
| Volume Controls - Can they affect Dynamic Range? Thanks for your comments. Interesting comments on the 24/32 bit stuff.Do you know if the software attenuates the same way a piece of hardware would? | |
| Power conditioner help I just installed an ISOCLEAN power outlet and I think it's very good. http://isocleanpower.com/product_23.htm |
