| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? I hear ya Tom. So where is that car for everyman? You gotta have at least 2.Nr9 -you got my choice. As Allan Bhagan told me before listening the first time, it's like crack, it you don't plan on getting hooked don't try it. It worked out that way ... | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? "Maybe ZH270 together with MX will change my cable opinion. Any comments?"My guess from my 6 years experience with the VSM is that the Berning will not offer more forgiveness which is what you are looking for Nr9. To the contrary I think it will r... | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? What might lend greater insight to this discussion is musical preferences. For midrangy acoustical, female vocal music which seems to be the darling of audiophiles and most of the show demos I've been to, SET's and low powered tube amps would be a... | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? Nr9 The 2 cables you list are 2 I would highly recommend. I have owned the Au24 speaker cables and have a pair of GR ic's on hand. I am currently using all Stereovox, 600 sei ic's and Stereovox Studio speaker cables. The Studio's are all copper th... | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? One more thing, I would be a bit suspect in your choice of cabling with the Merlins, this would be more of an issue than either of the amps. I have tried this cable with my VSM-M and the high frequencies were too overemphasised bordering on etchy.... | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? I can safely say the Berning is more than up to par with any of the Cary products I've listened to. While I haven't heard this particular amp there is a general sound to Cary that is enamouring, full, rich, voluptous, large stage. I always found t... | |
| Merlin speakers a new start for me Hi George Again!To further expand on the mid bass hump that David Berry speaks of, I too am of that impression with the Montana's. Now this is not to say some might not prefer this, especially when listening to classic rock music. I have a buddy t... | |
| What comes after Jean-Marie Reynaud? I agree with the Merlins, a speaker that can grow with your system. I don't believe there is a better 2-way out there and if so I haven't heard it. Resolving, extended smooth highs, well defined bass and a soundstage that will tell you plenty abou... | |

| "Giant Killer" The things legends are made of. Oh you want timeless classics? That thread has been done before several times on this forum, check the archives if they still exist. But so far as a giant killer goes I also concur with the JVC 1050 cdp. The laser mechanism on mine went several mo... | |
| Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad? Clio09I have heard the V12 Cary although I must say in only one system but that system included Montana KAS speakers which is a very large system. Now it really depends on what one is focusing on when it comes to bass I will admit to that. My focu... | |
| Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad? So far as bass goes, I never felt Cary was the last word in bass extension to say the least. They have a very rolled off presentation at the frequency extremes with an emphasis on the midrange with is quite full and present. Now the issue about th... | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? "The X-250 was the biggest purchase I ever made and the biggest disappointment !"Yes, I too heard an X350 Pass and was also disappointed, unlike the Aleph series. Maybe the system was at fault but the dealer seemed to like the set-up even though I... | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? Hi Si I can only guess that your experience with American amps is very limited. Many of the tube variety American amps are the best I've heard at producing subtlety, prat and natural dynamic shadings. They include Atma-sphere, Joule Electra, Trans... | |
| Trelja in New York - 2005 Great summary Joe and best of all you don't mince words, it is so refreshing to read an obviously honest opinion without having to read between the lines. Your reports are as much appreciated as anticipated. Thanks! |
