| CD Player recommendations for a SET system Tickfight, you asked if it is possible for a SET system to produce dynamic sound. For me, the answer is an emphatic "YES"! My system (see link below) consists of a pair of Cary CAD-805AE SET's which put out 50W/ch, these are running a pair of ProA... | |
| CD Player recommendations for a SET system Tickfight, I think that Larry gave you the best answer A good CD player might improve your problem but it won't solve it. I would be looking at room acoustics and speakers if I were you. Having said that, I recently had a good listen to a Consonan... | |
| Amp/preamp recommendations for Quad ESL 2905 Daniel here (Amfibius's friend). Congrats on your ESL's! Valves are ideal for ESL's as they are inherently a voltage amplifier (SS are current amplifiers), and that's exactly what electrostatics need. Whilst solid states amps start to get a bit sh... | |
| Amp/preamp recommendations for Quad ESL 2905 One of my friends has a 2905 and he thinks that valve amps are ideally suited for Quads. When I pointed out the very low impedance and questioned the ability of a flea powered valve amp to drive the speaker, he said that that is why valve amps are... | |
| How Cary 805 will go with Kharma 3.2 Aleksander, if you are in Melbourne be sure to check out the Audiogon Melbourne Chapter. We held our first meet a couple of weeks ago and may have another one soon. | |
| Classical SACD's to die for Ajahu I am very familiar with the Mahler Symphonies. I have not heard the Ivan Fischer works that you speak of. What is it about Fischer's Mahler #6 that you think makes it so special? (I have the Horenstein, Haitink, Karajan, Zander, and Szell ve... | |
| Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3 Heck if they are not interested then I am! What CD's do you have for sale? Will you send them to Australia? :) | |
| Melbourne, Australia Well we had our first AudioGon Melbourne meet in my place on Saturday, even though it strictly speaking wasn't in Melbourne. It was in sunny and beautiful Torquay :) Many thanks to Andrew (fatgen) for making the long trip down. Pity you couldn't c... | |
| Proac 1SC and Mark Levinson No. 27-good match? I would agree with all the opinions posted above recommending a SET for the ProAc Response 1SC's. I have not had the opportunity to listen to the 1SC's, but I have heard the Response 1's driven with a Cary 300SEI 17W/ch SET. The combination was ma... | |
| Cary sli-80 owners I don't have a Cary SLI-80, I have an SLP-05 preamp and CAD-805AE monoblocks. I listen to background music for 60 minutes before I sit down and enjoy myself. 60 minutes is about the time it takes me to fix myself a very nice dinner and get a nice ... | |
| The most revealing redbook/dsd player under 10k? Considered a Cary Audio CD-306? It has been very well reviewed. I have not been able to compare mine with equivalent high-end CDP's apart from the Musical Fidelity kW. The Cary yields more detail and sounds more dynamic, but the MF sounds sweeter.... | |
| Melbourne, Australia That's great Fatgen, thanks for your email. I have replied. Hopefully more Melburnians will see this thread and join up :) |
