| I can't be the only Cary Audio DMS-600 user experiencing this problem streaming Qobuz ... Just a thought -- a possible solution might be to try Roon and override the Cary app and see if the issue is resolved. I have the DMS-700 without any problems using Qobuz. | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante Right now it's a very faint hum from both speakers, I really have to get my ear close to the speaker cone to hear it. I am using XLR interconnects. I did a search on ground loops and tried a few technics such as disconnecting the in... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante I turned on my amp yesterday morning and let it run about 10 hours with no music playing, then played music during a normal session of about 2 hours. During the day (no music playing) there was a faint buzz that would sometimes chang... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante Interesting! I've had mine on for a couple hours and just read your post and checked for buzzing. I do hear a faint buzzing in both left and right channels. My equipment is plugged into a Surgex power conditioner/surge protector. ... | |
| Dirac - worth activating? As mentioned earlier, I sold my Legacy Focus speakers and now have Reference 3A Reflectors. I have yet to insert the miniDSP as I'm in the process of moving to a different house. My intention is to first prepare the listening room with acoustic ... | |
| Dirac - worth activating? I'm not familiar with your setup. In my situation, the miniDSP DDR-24 is inserted between the preamp and power amp. The link below goes to the manual. Check out section 4.4 beginning on page 23. miniDSP DDRC-24 User Manual | |
| Dirac - worth activating? Definitely worth trying. I bought an Arcam SR-250 AV 2-channel receiver which comes with Dirac Live. It required a bit of a learning curve but made a huge difference in a pair of Martin Logan speakers. I was so impressed that I bought the Mini-... | |
| Streamer/DAC I went with the one box option, a Cary DMS-700. I tend to keep audio equipment about 20 years, so it IS my forever streamer/DAC at my age. It’s over your budget but worth considering if you can get to $6K, and you’ll save the cost of an extra cabl... | |
| Recommendations for Speakers that can be used close to the rear wall. GIK Acoustics advocates placing speakers against the wall for smaller rooms. Speaker Placement: How far from the wall should I place my speakers? - (gikacoustics.com) | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) Actually, I had forgotten there was a power switch in the rear of the amp! So, yes, I leave it on 24/7. It’s also kind of hard to access it on my rack.Following is from the manual: Press front panel power button to turn on and off. Button will bli... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) Never experienced any hum or buzz coming from speakers. I also just checked and pressed my ears against the drivers. Dead quiet. | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) Yes, sounds a bit like a tube amp. Cary has stated that they voiced their solid state amp to the "Cary sound". I never paired with a solid state preamp as I've always been happy with the Sonic Frontiers Line 2 which is known to be very neutral. ... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) I bought the Cary SA-200.2 SE almost a year ago. I had downsized my listening room and bought smaller speakers (Reference 3A Reflectors). The smaller room made it unbearable for my tube amp and after much research I came across the Cary SA-200.2... | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max Oops! I misread your post. You're not looking for a preamp.Sorry! | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max Sonic Frontiers Line 2. I've had mine for over 20 years and have no inclination to change. There's one at audiomart well within your budget.Sonic Frontiers is no longer in business but partsconnexion.com does repairs and upgrades at a very reaso... |
